Yes remote admining is on todays "worklist" along with something to avoid double-hosting :)

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

You know, I've always wondered how some players can join and play in 3, 4, 5 or 6 games at once or even more. Frankly for me a personal limit of two is about all I can handle, especially if one of them is a team game, and still have time for real life things. I suppose veterans can execute turns quicker and some people have more free time, and it means faster experience gaining, but I've always wonder it twas such a good thing for the community as a whole.

Sometimes what happens is that inevitably life gets in the way and some of them end of going away, leaving 4 or 5 games requiring subs. Just my opinion, I myself and very detail oriented and micromangement inclined, like some of the other players in this game, so for me two is about all I can do. Just a strange thought that popped into my head from a confirmed noob skilled player.

Umm, Gandalf will be working on getting me some direct control of the server, any other comments, objections to just using the most recent .trn in your inbox and moving on?

Edit:

Very well, no other comments, Onward we go! Onward and forward! Time marches on and no man can change it. It is do or die time.

lol.. um .. sept... Until this very moment I havent even seen my turn...

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

OK - What now?

I've just looked at my turn(s)...

Shrug it off and move forward(my choice), or roll back? If we roll back 2 turns, Lanka might be able to get back the 200g he sent me! :confused:

sorry SS, didn't see your edit - for'rd then

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

I wouldn't be terribly bothered by a one turn rollback, but like you sept, I don't know that we really need one.

Having played with you in the past, I am well aware of your limited availability ;) I think that to avoid delay issues as much as possible in the future we should probably just send extension requests directly to gandalf. Since we are granting delay requests when asked for anyway, I think we can probably live with skipping the middleman. Unless you have any objection to this.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

well I think its a good idea.. but my last delay request I *did* send to gandlaf directly I don't think he got it either...

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

It's very nice that delay policy is liberal, but how many consecutive turns have you requested a rollback? Also, there's no way we can accept that people haven't seen their turns who staled.

So we can rollback the turn where *everyone* staled (which isn't really a rollback, to my mind), but past that? C'mon.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

56 hours extended to 80 with a request to extend it to 92? Yeah I got that. :)
If it was changed to forward it to me with instructions to agree to each one I think it would be easier to turn force hosting off and just process requests to host.

Hmmm... I wonder if anyone has ever created a game on LLama and posted the admin password to the thread? Someone should try that.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Oh whatever, game on. I'm going to assume there's going to be no rollback. It would have been nice to have the extra 24h. My turn was a mess and caused problems for my team, but we'll live, I think. But its done.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

I'm not asking for a rollback more than one turn. I do expect we will roll it back one turn.
