Re: No Diplo EA Game - No Wankers Allowed - Closed
 

Hello! Was going to look into it tonight, but yes, sounds like that was the problem. Sorry about that.

Maybe I will use the time I would have spent following this up on finally fixing the bug once and for all (i.e. making it refuse to accept such maps rather than allowing people to spend time uploading pretenders etc before disappearing).

Actually Llama, I just noticed that the map had an underscore not a space in between, does that matter? 'Alexander_NWA'
In any case, should we precede sending pretenders or can it be fixed?

Well, resending pretenders is not a big deal, is it ? ^^

Executor: In that case, I'm not sure why it failed. I didn't look into it in the end last night (accidentally played Minecraft till 1am instead!).

I'd suggest continuing with the plan of:
- You guys start re-uploading pretenders
- I will try to look into what happened before. I'm not very reliable at the moment though, as I rarely seem to get much computer time what with one thing and another.

I am sending this message for someone else so his identity will be kept secret.

He has tried to resend in his pretender He deleted his old one from his file to change some things (wanted to see if that was the problem), and resent new one to....pretenders@llamaserver.net and subject line NoWankersAllowed.

It won't take it...with the problems llamaserver is having he is wondering if that is the problem. I believe he is about the last pretender to be sent in and doesn't want to miss the game so any help would be appreciated.

Hopefully problem solved and Pretender sent in....forgot the _ between names on the subject line....Sorry to bother you

One pretender still missing, Yomi, you better get your ars in within 24 hours or I'm starting the game without you, 3 days to resend pretenders is more than generous.

Ok all, I'm sort of back from dealing with my unexpected RL affairs. I likely won't be fully back to normal running until I clear the backlog of RL and work stuff that built up during my unexpected absence, but I'm back enough to resume admin duties here.

I have contacted the guilty party (with regards holding the start up), so hopefully that player won't keep everyone waiting too long now. I haven't gone through the thread yet, but can whoever created the game please PM me the password. Since my admin powers could be pretty limited without it :)

I'll give the missing player another ~12 hours (to allow for timezones) to report in, otherwise I'll get this show on the road with 18 players.

The various problems have already seen the start of this game delayed too long, and the missing player has had plenty of time already to re-upload for take2. Plus if the player hasn't checked this thread at all, and so doesn't know a re-upload is needed, then that player's attention and interest in this game can't be too high to start with IMO. So better out than in.

@ All - I'm out of the office for the rest of the day now, but I will be starting this game once I get home with or without the missing player. I should be home by around 22:00 GMT, so expect the game to start around that time. (I've just PM-ed the missing player to tell them it's last chance saloon for their Pretender submission)
