Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

We haven't been able to resolve Pangaea's corrupt turn issue.

The only options I see are to wait for llama to come back and see if he can do anything or to rollback the turn and try again.

I hate to suggest another rollback after our last fiasco, but it may come to that.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

ok..I'm going to hold off on submitting my turn. I'd prefer not to waste more time and some big micro orders if we may get a rollback again.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Oh god please not another rollback... I'll send gems to Pangaea if it means they'll accept a stale instead of rolling this game back again. Shall we take up a collection? Anything but another rollback!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

That's a thought. TwoBits what do you think? How much will a stale hurt? If you're not actually at war one turn might not be that bad?

Regardless, I'm not going to do anything tonight, so I'm going to push it back a day in the hopes a miracle answer will appear.

We do need to get this game moving before it dies though.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I'd take a stale rather than a rollback any day. But I'd still like to hear from Llama first, and see if he has a solution.

I'll loan a dwarven hammer!

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hey, if people want to me with gifts so as Pangaea will suck up a stale for the team, I wont say no :D

But I'd like to know what the problem is that is happening, before going down that road. I mean, say I stale, and then get another corrupt turn file?

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

I don't really have an answer for that. All I can do is hope.

There really isn't much we can do to diagnose the problem without llama, and I don't know when he's going to be back.
If it isn't a one-time corrupt turn we could still rollback to this or the previous turn if necessary. (I think llamaserver lets you go back more than one turn. Not sure about that though.)

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]
 

Hm, I think if we did another rollback, especially a multi-turn rollback, a lot more people would be walking away from the game, and I don't want to be the cause of that.

Just kind of bad timing Llama seems to be out of town at the moment. So here's what I suggest: There's 5 other players who don't have their turns in yet. If they get their turns in, and Pangaea is the last to go and Llama still hasn't returned, go ahead and force the turn (and if other players feel generous and want to take pity on me by sending some gold/gems/items - and lets face it, staling at this point in the game really sucks :( - I would certainly appreciate it :D ).

But if after that, I get another corrupt turn file, I don't know what we'd do. Heck, without access to my turn, I couldn't even turn Pangaea AI! I'd be out of the game in effect, and there wouldn't even be an incompetent AI defending the place - it'd be a total free-for-all for all Pangaea's neighbors.

Has this ever happened to anyone else in an MP game before (to them or to another player)?
