Re: what do you like about PBEM?
 

Okay, my current preference is that we keep going on this game -- Panther and Tauren and Turin having missed one turn -- and I turn off forced-hosting.

And I fix the e-mail notification.

I'll go turn off forced hosting.

It looks like everything is working out for me with my new system. I did my move, the turn hosted, and I then did my next move.

Re: Game continues
 

E-mail notification is still broken. I'll work on that.

Re: Game continues
 

I think I fixed e-mail notification.

I have now fixed all three of the "problems with TCP/IP games" that we discussed earlier. If anybody has any other suggestions about how to improve the serving of this game I'd like to hear it.

I see that Panther has been overtaken in the Hall of Fame by that upstart Peneios.

Now if I only knew whether either of them were my enemies then I would know whether to worry about a sudden strike by a super powerful Pretender...

Re: Game continues
 

Wait a minute. I understand the halting now. I understand we're waiting for Panther to get his computer up and running, that's fine.

However, once his computer is working... why no clock?

Re: Game continues
 

It was as per Panther's request.

Now that you've expressed concern -- I was a bit concerned about it too -- I'm going to set it back to 48 quickhost, but if someone notifies me via e-mail or via a post to this list that something has come up and neither they nor their partner can make moves then I'll stop the clock for them.

Re: Game continues
 

I thought of another reason I dislike TCP. It's too easy to accidently upload your turn before you're ready.

Re: Game continues
 

you can still reupload, unless you were last, in which case tough http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ioticus: that's a good point.

It's a reasonable Wishlist Item For Dom3 to "uncommit" your move.
