Revised Tournament of Champions (ToC 15) "Arctic Convoy"
-
@bayder @prastle Hey guys. I can't figure out the username/password to play PBEM.
My opponent has started the game and sent me the first move. However, when I enter my "Login" and "Password" in the Play By Email section it gives me the error "unable to send email, check SMTP server credentials...Username and Password not accepted..."
It is the correct username and password for Marti dice, I have confirmed that twice (aaatangoromeo@gmail.com + correct password).
Any ideas what I am missing?
(Sorry, I haven't played PBEM since last year's tournament)
-
@TangoRomeo @prastle @bayder So, it's not the Martic Dice server I have a problem with, it's the Login and Password for Play By Email. Was there a default login and password assigned to the game that my opponent, @Handsome, and I are unaware of? Or is there actually a login and password? My opponent does not remember putting one in.
Sorry for the hassle, I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere that I haven't been able to find...
Hopefully this will only needed to be sorted out this once.
-
@TangoRomeo You should check your Port. In the help button right next to the box it is explained.
That was not my question. If the first bid and second bid are 9, then the first bid get the axis, right?
-
@brxxx Whoever wins the random bid process bids first. The other player either a) accepts that bid, or b) bids lower. They cannot bid the same. It goes back and forth until one person accepts the other's bid.

@TangoRomeo This only happens if you select the play by email as a provider vs. remaining disabled. I personally always leave this disabled. I can't recall for sure, but I think you can play a file where it's enabled without logging into it...you can still roll through MARTI and send the file manually.
-
@TangoRomeo @ubernaut @oppositeof Do either of you guy know how to solve this problem?
-
@TangoRomeo you need to have an account on the marti server there is no password it just needs to be a verified email. the password stuff is only if you want triplea to login to your gmail or triplea forum account.
-
@ubernaut So, my opponent sent me a file. I open it up in the "start PBEM game..." section. But then it asks me for a login and password in the Play by Email section. It won't let me "play" unless I enter that correctly. Did my opponent enter a login and password I don't know of?
-
@TangoRomeo did you select the disable menu item next to the provider?
-
@ubernaut No, should I? and just play that way?
-
@TangoRomeo yes as i just said that's only if you want triplea logging into your account i personally do not. Some people have dedicated email accounts for triplea in that case i see no reason why you wouldn't.
-
@ubernaut Right. I made an aaa account (aaatangoromeo@gmail.com) for this purpose. However, even when I enter that info, with proper password it gives me an error "unable to send email, check SMTP server credentials...Username and Password not accepted..."
-
@ubernaut @bayder Sorry about this guys. I know it's probably pretty simple. Here's the file. I think I just "disable PBE" provider correct?
The challenge I had was that the PBE option automatically opened up with mine and my opponent info in it and I didn't want to change anything he had already set up.

@TangoRomeo an example after registering with Marti server

@TangoRomeo you need to select your provider for email either Hotmail or Gmail
-
@prastle Yes, that is the page I get. However, when I load the gamefile from @Handsome the Login and Password are blank. I enter my aaatangoromeo@gmail.com and correct password for that account and it gives me and error "unable to send email, check SMTP server credentials...Username and Password not accepted..."
-
@TangoRomeo and you have selected gmail as the provider?
-
@prastle click the help button for step by step instructions I found it helpful a long time ago. Also check this link by @Deltium

@TangoRomeo
I don't actually know what you intend to do, but the nature of Play by Email is to send the savegame to your opponent by email once you ended your turn. For this you need to configure TripleA to act as an Email-program, that means you must enter your email account details here:
Provider is Generic SMTP or something preconfigured depending on your mail provider.
Subject is anything referring to your game, e.g. the Topic Id.
To is your opponent's mail address - and only his!
Login is your login you have once set up with your email provider to access your mail account.
Password is your password you have set up with your email provider to access your mail account.
Host and Port are details provided by your email provider for sending emails.So be sure to have that configured correctly according to what you want to do.
