Game Processing News
Today we ran games 130, 132, 134, and 141 and emailed the results.

We are seeing more players mislabel email subject lines or their Excel input forms, usually by listing the wrong game#, kingdom, or turn# - players mixing up the games they are in. While we have been good as far as players are concerned at catching these, please understand one of these mistakes doubles the time it takes to run the game as we have to look up what is going on, exit the system, find the problem, notify the player, wait for a reply, get back in, etc.

Also, we normally have almost all players pay their invoices the day they are issued which is good. But right now, we have a fairly big supply of unpaid invoices by active players. Please pay your invoice the day it is issued. We don't want to hold turns or drop someone, but once in awhile it has to be done. Again, we are operating on very small margins and all these things like issuing reminders to pay invoices take unbudgeted time and take away from what we want to do to improve Alamaze for everybody.

Wednesday Titan and Warlords games will likely be coming out early evening - just sayin' so you don't check your email every 15 minutes.

A note to the community: We currently have 20 active Alamaze games (#124 - #142 all active, yes that actually is 20 although some might come up with 18), which is the most in at least a decade, probably quite a bit longer. And we are running them about twice a week instead of once every two weeks. Likely at least 5x the number of games at 4x the rate, and at a fee of about 25%. So if the average is 10 kingdoms per game, that's about (20x7x10) 1400 turns per month processed. Grasshopper busy.

Today we processed and emailed games 125, 127, 131, 140, 142, and 220.
There is a problem with 126 I need Cipher to look into. I need to complete 137 tomorrow, which is on its T10 ESO.

126 has been run and mailed.

Warlords 135 went out as did Primeval 137 with its T10 ESO.

We processed and sent out 124 (still going on at T27 despite long running rumors to the contrary), 128 (won by Cloud as the Sorcerer on Turn 22), 129 (Master & Apprentice), 136 (Anonymous Steel Random Selection), 138 (Exploratory Steel), and 139 (Private Primeval).
Congratulations to Cloud, winning as the Sorcerer and collecting his first Gold.
