Okay, you need to accept forwarding. Everyone should have a request from rbffh15b@gmail.com.

I'm getting an appcrash whenever I try to load Darrell's save.
 2:It gets all the way to "Valledia the Even, it's your turn!" and then crashes when I click Okay. I just installed EitB v008, so I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, didn't realize v7 had to be installed first.
 Also, not to be stupid, but how does the tracker work? Do I send the save to both the tracker address and the next person in line, or just to the tracker? (as of now I just sent the save to both)

I was afraid of mac vs pc, or admin passwords, or so on and so forth. Tatan Wrote:Also, not to be stupid, but how does the tracker work? Do I send the save to both the tracker address and the next person in line, or just to the tracker? (as of now I just sent the save to both)I'm not sure darrell's finished setting up the tracker, but when he does (and we verify it works), you can send it just to the tracker. People rarely object to getting the save twice, though, compared to how they react when they don't get it at all  .Save received, btw, and on to Ilios. Which reminds me of a technical quirk. You'll need to delete or move that save before you play the next turn. It's an FFH-specific thing - FFH has a T0, but Civ calls it T1. Civ is also bad about overwriting. The upshot is, if you fail to move the T0 save, the save you generate for me will be corrupted and I'll be unable to open it. That also applies any time you replay a turn for any reason (like accidentally hitting enter too early). You have to move or delete the first save.
