Sakana 46 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Hello dear Fawlers. We wish you a very very happy new year. All the best ! As usual, when the first Sunday is early in the month, I forgot to prepare the form days before... So, it comes only 3 days before the shonichi. All apologies. >>> http://bobdh.free.fr/FAWL/formulaire.htm The banzuke will be late, too (maybe ready for shonichi, I have to work it fast...). Good luck with your picks. And -again- we wish you a happy new year. :) Announcement : FAWL will retire from sumo-games after the Haru basho 2017. Since Haru 2007, we had a lot of pleasure to create, manage, run and play this game for and with all of you but, now in 2017, we lack time (and lost a lil'bit of motivation too). We are "open" to give the game files to anybody who would keep the game (and the statistics). Feel free. We still have 2 months before the end.

Sakana 46 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) We have our first contestant : - Wamahada. He's the sole Fawler registered, at the moment, for the Hatsu basho. Still 20 hours to make your entries. Thanks. :) Edited January 7, 2017 by Sakana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScreechingOwl 343 Posted January 8, 2017 I felt badly about forgetting to play last basho, so I made certain to send in my entry for this one! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakana 46 Posted January 8, 2017 We received only one entry, from Wamahada. Does anybody else have sent an entry (which would mean that my email box is bugged) ? Otherwise, we'll cancel the Hatsu basho 2017 and end earlier the game (now instead of after Haru basho '17). Greetings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakana 46 Posted January 8, 2017 Double-post I've investigated the problem. It seems the provider (Free) has many issues on their servers since 1 week or so. Maybe I will receive all the emails at the same time, but... I don't know yet "when"... So, at the moment, I have received only one entry, made by Wamahada (i.e. : my form is OK) ; ScreechingOwl confirmed me he sent one before the deadline (but I have not the entry yet). I hope I'll get all the mails quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakana 46 Posted January 8, 2017 Ok, my mail provider is bugging, that's it. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flohru 176 Posted January 8, 2017 Just to let you know: I also did send an entry about 26 hours ago. Hopefully you will be able to recover all mails! I am very sorry to read that you need to stop administering FAWL - I am keeping my fingers crossed that someone will take over. Anyway, thanks for 10 years of providing that great game; and for one more basho at least! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganzohnesushi 507 Posted January 8, 2017 I also sent an entry approx. 20 hours ago. Sad to hear that FAWL might be closing the doors. As Yokozuna Flohru already mentioned, THANK YOU for 10 years of efforts. Ganzohnesushi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mmikasazuma 12 Posted January 8, 2017 I also sent an entry 2 days ego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terarno 46 Posted January 15, 2017 Fawl was born in an era where the sumogaming fever was storming the French forum. There couldn't be enough sumogames back then. What have we become ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakana 46 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Thank you for your kind words. I have checked my Free email account every day : no mails incoming... I'm really sad of this situation. I'm still hoping there'll arrive before the senshûraku.

Neko I use an Excel sheet, which works like a database to run the game (it was made by Abudisake, a founder of the game). It has notices everywhere (I'm quite a noob with Excel but...) so I managed to run it. I just have to translate notices in english. It goes the same with the Excel file which contains the statistics. I can also give the folder with the internet files (except the wordpress blog with the "daily" news). Edited January 16, 2017 by Sakana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use Excel 8 hours a day - if the main game file is Excel than I'm sure I'll be just fine to manage. Now just need to get the entry form/web stuff sorted - maybe we can find a savy volunteer to help with that... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
