And of course the more players you've got the more chances for someone to not pay attention and use old files.

WTF. Really, one of the top nations goes AI. What a dick move. Good job Skymoon. AI at turn 18 without telling anybody.

Also, Like I said Pythium. Agartha is the vengeful type. How is invading who now?

Hello all,

As you will have noticed, we’ve been experiencing a bit of a delay due to the Marignon player setting his nation to AI and disappearing. Luckily I have now found a sub, and will roll back the turn so he can submit a new turn 17 and we can then continue on as we were.

Rollbacks though are delicate matters, and require some care to execute properly without ruining the entire game. As such I’m sending you all this e-mail with the necessary explanations and instructions.
Before anything else everyone HAS TO delete their current 2h and trn files for turn 18. THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT. If any single player fails to do this it will most likely cause catastrophic crashes and ensure the game cannot be continued. I will say again: DELETE YOUR CURRENT TURN FILES NOW. You will get a new turn file for turn 18 when I re-host the game. Simply overwriting your current turn files with the new one you receive (like you do for all other turns) is NOT good enough, and will cause the crashes mentioned before, so please be good boys (or girls) and trust me on this, okay?

What will then happen is the following:
1) I will rollback the turn to turn 17.
2) Stagger Lee (the new Marignon player) will submit a new turn. No one else should do so! I’m serious here, anyone submitting a new turn 17 anyway will incur my eternal wrath and such more.
3) I will immediately force hosting. That way, the llamaserver will just use your previously submitted turns again and no one can gain any benefit from the knowledge they gained from seeing the turn play out
4) You will all receive a new turn 18, from which you can then play and submit a new turn as normal. I will say here again: make sure you deleted your previous turn files before saving the newly received turn into your games folder, and do NOT just overwrite it.

Sorry for repeating the same thing over and over again, but better safe than sorry. I would not like to have to abandon the game because someone thought I was just joking around.
As a final point, Stagger Lee has mentioned he’ll be busy over the weekend, and will probably only be able to play his turn afterwards, so the rollback will only happen at that time. Until then I hope you have fun doing other stuff.
