Hey it's a bug! I object. Put the Cthulhu wannabes back where they belong!

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

just to confirm, the Mose server has not updated the patch, right?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Just uploaded my pretender.
Only Jotunheim and Rlyeh are missing.

I am pretty sure he'll publicly announce any tempering. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

yeah they are still missing .
hopefully tomorrow morning ( = about 10 hours from now ) they have uploaded and we can start http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm playing all my games with 2.13 without any problem.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

You should play with 2.12 . Johan said that 2.13 works but battereplay inconsistencies can occur if you play a 2.12 game with 2.13 patch .

Ooops. Nevermind. I see you have a full house. Have fun!!

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Boron,

Sorry, but I'm pulling out. Since another newbie game is starting (and a really newbie one at that), I'd prefer that one instead. Besides, I thought I would have a sea to myself to start with. No offense meant to anyone. Have fun! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Hello, yes I see I still have to sign on! It will be done in a few minutes. Since Boron is pulling out, I'll post PashaDawg to join in his spot.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Np . In the old faerun you had a sea yourself and i dunno if it is a bug here or intended that Ryleh + Atlantis start so close together .


I would say lets start now with 16 players but i wait a few hours and leave it meanwhile open .
Plz post your preffered options :
-Start
-Wait a few hours for a new atlantisplayer
-Turn atlantis Ai

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

if nobody Posts an opinion or joins as atlantis really quick i start in about 4-5 hours http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

i would like to wait for another... theres just something cool about a game with all 17 nations.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Glad that the mighty Spider Lord is in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

i will start now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I have uploaded my spooky scary wicked Atlantic God Pretender. Y'all might as well admit defeat now. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

I think that fills all of the slots.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

sweet!!! this should be fun! 15 hall of fame right? And Indy 7? I hope everyone remember to put a password! (otherwise you can still reupload a new pretender before the game is started!!) and if you read this too late and you have no password, well, stay quiet and no one will notice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Awesome! I was hoping you would join us - I was a clandestine reader of the Newbie Game by Aku thread, and always looked forward to the next post by the Great Spider Lord. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Bah! The GREAT SPIDER LORD was but a oily blackhead on the divine tush of the wise and omniscient WISE ANCIENT KRACKAN KING of the OCEAN… (WAKKO for short).

Beware, the WISE ONE is swimming as we speak… biding his time… waiting for the right time to STRIKE the dry land and drag all of your mothers, fathers and children into the cold salty deep. Their doom is certain, and they shudder in their dreams with DISPAIR.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif Someone else's pretender is playing Caelum!!! Its a different password!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif noooooooo!!!!
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

I uploaded my pretender like 5 times to be sure!!! And it still didn't override the first person's pretender!?!?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I just checked and I was able to log in with my password with Caelum. Looks like it's Borked. Sorry Lex. Maybe we can restart. I don't know though with this many people.

I hope I don't get a key violation for checking.

I also got my 1st shot at my pretender design instead of my latest Version. But I'll live they were both good.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

WTF http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

now we see that my concerns were true but you said i shouldn't kick you to be sure when i asked http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

what do we do now ?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I've never tested this myself, but I've heard it said that re-uploading a pretender does not work. This is why I told Boron he had to kick the anonymous players.

I know this is a pain, but I think this justifies a restart (as in killing and recreating the game).

Edit:
Unless you can kick anonymous players on turn 1, and re-upload still. But I'd guess that's not possible.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

I've just made myself anonymous on Mose server (you can kick me now) and I'll upload a pretender fresh. is there a way to restart without everyone reuploading pretender?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Probably not - but we should try.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

i will try that if someone can confirm that it works http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

i think it doesn't work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
i will write esben a pm or post in the thread for his server to ask him what we can do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

hopefully there is a solution without restarting the game .

i fear though that the 2 solutions are :
-continue the game and Huzurdaddi plays caelum or gives you his password and you play his caelum
-stop the game and everybody has to upload again
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Gosh. You're listed on the Mosehansen site for this game as Caelum. Hmmm. Is there a way to restart or something?

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Ignore me. I was living in the past. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Might as well restart and re-upload.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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 .

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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.

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

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

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.

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Ok an important anouncement :

Sorry for the inconvenience but i decided to restart . We are still at turn 1 and most ppl have probably not modified their pretender yet and it would be just bad to play without Lex as Caelum .

I am pretty sure that this time everything works finally as it should http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I wrote Lex a pm to try one Last workaround that might work and if this doesn't work we restart .
With good probability we restart in about 1 hour .

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

sweet! I was looking forward to playing Faerun!

Re: Newbiegame 3 on mosehansen . status : open
 

Mose said there is no other way to fix it then making a new game too .

So i restarted . There is a figure of speech : Third time is a charm .

So this time hopefully finally everything is as it should be . Fortunately we probably get nothing then a few hours delay but Lex can play his pretender now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
