err...if?
You mean he didn't?



Ok I get out :p

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

This is true, ghoul did in fact get his pretender in with plenty of time. So cheers on that. But people, and myself, only take exception to the fact that you grandly assumed that I should have been doing the work to replace him for you.

That said, none of us should be resorting to name-calling, either. So lets keep things civil if we can from here on.



In other news, I have been in contact with the replacement team - they have one of their pretenders uploaded and assure me that the next one will be uploaded very soon. So hopefully we will get rolling today.

Ghoul...,Joining a game where 23 other people +admin are going to take part is a kind of responsibility. There are different ways to manage this responsibility, to minimize effect from your negative (or lack of positive) behavior on others. As for Alpine Joe - partially it's your bad luck,that you took him as a partner, but it's a team game and a team responsibility. If you felt some moment that you can't be responsible for your partner as he behaves in some crazy way, you should kick him off from the team (with blessing from game admin) and find another partner. Yourself. You say here that "everything was right until IH threw you out unexpectedly "...Do you read game threads at all? DO you visit IRC channel at least sometimes? I would definitely call what IH did as an action, which was highly expected by 22 players. Nothing personal, but you really should manage responsibility you took joining the game. Just next time be more careful about others then about yourself. You will earn some good karma this way and maybe it will give you a better teammate next time.

About the false start -

Sorry bout that guys. I got everything started fine, but then realized I forgot to switch out Kailasa's start for LA CTis. LA CTis actually ended up with no provs or capital of any kind - weird!!

Anyway, I unstarted the game and am now waiting to hear back from llama if everything is ok to restart (there is a bug with restarting multi-era games). So we should hear back from him soon.

Regardless, we are one huge step closer to starting the game :)

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

Apparently another false turn was generated by my un-start.

The game has not started yet - we must have llama manually unstart the game. This must be the bug he was referring to. I have 2 emails in to him already...

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

Llama did respond and restarted the game - however it appears that the map I sent him was overridden or ignored somehow. So, we are waiting for him again.

Sorry bout the delay, guys.

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

Oops, and sorry for yet another false start just now. The game is now set back to "Waiting for pretenders", so Ironhawk can change the map manually via the web interface. Generally that seems to be more reliable than me doing things by hand. Can't understand what could have gone wrong with me trying to use the new map yesterday though, that was quite straightforward.

Gremlins. It has to be Gremlins inside the Llamaserver.

Oh, sorry, I'll butt out again.

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

So the turn that I got in the wee hours of the morn' has I-assume-erroneous cheat-detection warnings going off? This is presumably not cool :(.

Re: Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]
 

Or someone did not use CBM to create their pretender. But it'd be 4 people, huh...
