Might as well restart and re-upload.

Confirmation is up to you, Boron. As game owner, I know that prior to game starting you will see an option to kick all anonymous players. I know this option disappears in later turns, and I'm pretty confident that it's not there on turn 1 (but since I own no games on turn 1 - I can't confirm, tho you can). If you don't see such an option, then we know we're hosed.


I agree that it is unlikely Esben will have a solution for us, but do please post us asap, as soon as you hear back from him.


As much as it is a large PITA, I don't think in the big picture it's that it's such huge issue for everyone to re-upload. We would lose a day worst case, and I know if I were in Lex's shoes, it'd be pretty frustrating to play someone else's pretender.

I don't see the kick anonymous players option anymore .

But i had an idea which i posted now on Moses serversthread :

If Lex sends manually his pretenderfile to Mose perhaps Mose can replace Huzurdaddi's pretenderfile with Lex's pretender and everything works . What do you think ?

i will check every 2-3 hours now the thread hopefully Mose answers soon .
As long i keep the game running and if Mose's response is negative then we can rehost .

we've all got our pretenders tweaked already, and everyone's about to login for their first turn, except instead of playing turn 1, we simply reupload and start asap (its not like the first couple of turns are the most thrilling anyways)

as for the kicking-of-anonymous-players, i guess I've just proved that you've gotta do it. if anyone sees this happen again, you can say you've seen it live and bought the tshirt.

Uhm lots of players have probably overwritten their pretender already again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I just wait a bit now for Mose's reply and if it is negative i restart then ok ?
But i hope that my suggested "walkaround" works and it would be the easiest solution then cause nobody needs to reupload anything then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Boron,

I'm skeptical about the manual workaround. It's a good idea, but while it might well work in the end, manual steps like this usually take a couple of tries before getting it right, by which time we might have gotten a restart off the ground. I also feel a little funny about asking Esben to nursemaid for us, as he's done a lot by providing the server in the first place.

Anyhow, I wouldn't wait too long before doing the restart - if we're going to do this the sooner we get it over with the better. If everyone's around today (and today is a holiday in the US), then we might still get this off the ground in a few hours.

Today's Labour Day?! Soooo THAT'S why there's fighter jets cruising at low altitude over my home!!! And here I thought we where under attack!

Hmmmm, I'm just not seeing it. I mean, a great spider lord, frothing at the mouth with venemous drool - now there's something to fear! Brings back images of Shelob and all that.

But cold, fishy, squiddies? That just doesn't do it for me. Guess we'll have to see those squiddies in action before we believe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oh, and Boron, while you're hanging out waiting for Esben's response, you might consider taking a turn in Pandemonium http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif We're just waiting on you and Jarenko right now, and hopefully we'll get Jarenko set to AI soon.

Speaking of which, would anyone reading this thread care to do a favor for those of us playing in the Pandemonium2 game? We just need someone to set Jarenko to AI, and we need it to be someone not playing in the game. It just takes a few minutes, and I can give you the necessary info by PM.
