Ah ok.

If all of the turns are in, does it automatically start the next turn? Or do we still need to wait for the server to time-out?

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Quickhosting is on, that means that it hosts automatically when all the turns are in.

Hey ich, just wanted to say great server and interface and the graphs pages rock or will soon anyway. Thanks for putting this together and for putting up with all of us!

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I concur... thank you, Ich.

Looks like we're just waiting for Omnirizon now...

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Omnirizon is new to MP gaming in general, and he hasn't received the first email that I usually send out in new games. Let's paste it here again:

How to connect to the game:

Host/IP: valhalla.techno-mage.com
Port: 2474
(in the game via: Network -> connect to a Dominions server)

You might want to create a shortcut/alias for this so that you don't have to type it in every time. You can directly connect to the game server by starting the game via "dom3 -C --ipadr valhalla.techno-mage.com --port 2474"

You have 48 hours to play your turns once the server has hosted.

... somebody write a better tutorial about disconnecting after downloading the turn and then preparing the turn offline. Or is there already a FAQ about this somewhere?

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Still having problems, Omnirizon? Anything we can assist you with?

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I'll reset the timer now. I hope that the game runs nicely after the first hosting.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

hey folks.

no problems. i needed extra time for this first turn because i am on the road. i'm now at my destination and everything will be going fine with me from here on out.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Anyone have anything juicy, interesting, funny to report? Any pretenders killed by independents? Been there, done that... Happy to chat with my neighbours once we meet. And happy to trade gems for blood slaves anyone.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

We're getting close to forced hosting. Hope Nerildar plays his turn soon...

Ich, I wonder if it would be possible to have the script automatically send the last person who hasn't played their turn a reminder email? Would that be something easy to implement? Might be useful, methinks.

I don't mean to be impatient, mind you -- it's just that everyone else played their turns within the first 12 hours or so, so it might be prudent to let the last person know we're still waiting on him/her.
