Psh. I trust you guys :).

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Are we sure we want to take that risk, while we are on turn1?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

It's up to you guys; but unless a bunch of people come on and demand a restart, I'm not going to do that now. Especially a restart that requires everyone to log back on and upload new pretenders.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

I'm afraid if we did that, it would take a week to get everyone to re-upload their pretenders, and some people would probably drop out during the process, delaying us again as we look for replacement players.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

I'm obstaining from this decision. All I will say is that I intently watch this thread and would have no doubt in my own ability to swiftly resend my pretender if needed... with a password of course.

Lingchih:

You are the one that didn't forget about password :) I'm just stating my concerns. Even if everyone is fair then at the end someone may claim that he lost because someone was looking at his turns. I have no idea if there is a way to check if someone else looked at your turn.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Yeah I too did not password my pretender. All I have played on is Lllamma server where there is no need for such a thing. I could always resend my pretender with a password easily.

If we are going to do it now Is the time as the game has not really started yet. Personally I think it would be a good idea. But I'll go with whatever the consensus is.

I believe that the server logs IP addresses from incoming connections - I will check in the morning, I'm wasted.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Well, it's rather easy to know if someone else has accessed your turn on an mp server. If, when you log in, the game asks you to choose your nation (after you have already chosen it in the beginning), then someone else has viewed your turn. True, this does not prevent cheating, but it does let you know if cheating has been done.

Seriously though, if this had never been brought up (Zeldor!!!), this would never have been a problem. Hardly anyone in Dominions even thinks of cheating. Almost everyone I know would find that way beneath them. But, when it is made obvious that it is easy to look at another's turn... well, people get tempted.

That said, I could deal with a restart. The only really acceptable restart is a turn 1 restart. But people... please, PW protect your nations. This is not a PBEM game.

I actually thought about it and didn't password. Figured that since it's a team game, there will probably be times when teammates need to perform sub duties, and passwords would just complicate things. We're all adults here right? I don't cheat at scrabble and I wouldn't cheat at this, and until disappointed otherwise I'm happy to go with no passwords. I agree *very strongly* with Dr Praetorius that it's better to get this thing going.
