Any news on delays and so forth regarding turn processing at Ab Initio Games will appear here. If there’s nothing here, there’s probably not a delay.
Thursday 5th February 2026 – all turns ran on time, but I seem to have had a senior moment (or two) and failed to send some results out. If you are missing any, please let me know (and of course, many apologies).
Deadlines – As far as I am concerned, Thursday deadlines are working really well (I get my weekends back) so we’ll stick with them at least until the end of the summer. The only minor caveat is orders should be in by 7am, as sometimes I am up and wanting to get games run (and it also means I can run them all before heading out for the day).
Housekeeping – Please can players make sure their credits are topped up (and that doesn’t mean continually dropping to -1) and also make sure turns are submitted on time. Both issues have slowed me down recently, and it’s always a minority (usually the same people) and right now, I really do want to be focussing my energy elsewhere. Thanks………
Hotmail Problems – I’m still having problems with outgoing emails (not game reports, only messages sent from my mailbox) reaching Hotmail users. If you haven’t set danny@pbmsports.com as a trusted email address please do so, and feel free to raise it with Hotmail if you are getting blocked. They seem to have decided to block the email address, albeit only occasionally. I can’t bug them, as they’re not my email provider. I will, if I really need to, use an alternative email address, but I’m hoping to avoid having to make that permanent.
Late Turns – can I remind people about chasing late results – I aim to get games run on the Thursday (for two weekly games), and given the number of turns this does mean spreading them out (I also need to avoid sending out too many results in a short timeframe, as they will trigger systems thinking I’m sending spam). Please wait until Saturday before you chase anything “late”, and for those in more than one game, don’t assume because you’ve received one game report that I’ve sent them all. If a turn is missing, make sure you tell me which game and team you need.
