Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

postponed 24 hs

hosting interval: 72 hs

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

The end result is a postponement of 48 hours. The llamaserver assumes that adjusting the host interval also adjusts the interval of the current turn. However, it would now be bad form or correct the little mistake.

*Goes off to twiddle his thumbs for another 2 days as Abysia still isn't set to AI*

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Regarding Abysia. Obviously hes not playing. If everyone agrees I will have to ask someone outside the game to turn him AI.
Who could that be?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Any of the regulars will likely help out in this regard. Your best bet to hop onto the IRC channel for Dominions and ask for a volunteer. Information about the channel can be found in the Dominions FAQ and IRC thread.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

ok jurri turned abysia to AI.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

GOOD JOB!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh BTW, could you turn the guy I am at war with to AI too (just for a few turns would be fine):p

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

sure, 7 virgins for 7 days.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

If I was gonna give up 7 virgins for 7 Days I would give to my enemy Pretender....He might have a Heart attack and it would be done with!!:D

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

We haven't really had a whole lot of smack talking in this game. That's really disappointing since I find it to be one of my favorite parts of this game. I guess I only have myself to blame for not starting things early. Better late then never I guess.

My fellow Ermorians and I are slightly insulted that the forces sent by Argatha amounts to what they assume to be a threat to our mighty empire. I seriously hope there will be more to it then what they have offered up to our graveyards so far. We have decided that it would only be sportsmanlike to devote only a fraction of what we have to offer as well.

If by chance they manage to strike down our elders with their pitiful little band, they will rise again more powerful then you can ever imagine. Good fortune to you, though good fortune is much more then what you will need.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Well it seems I forgot to offer my forge capabilities up to the public.

I can forge most items. If you're looking for something drop me a PM and we can discuss prices. I don't have any set prices, as I'm willing to deal if you have a gem type I could use. Just drop me a PM and we'll start the barter.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Hi guys. I am still on business trip, and I barely had time to play... Now tonight I　have to work overtime, and it could be possible I could stall... Could admin please delay the turn by 6 hours? I am sure I could return to my hotel and finish by then. Thanks!

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I fear i read this too late. but nobody staled. good.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I got a little wierdness going on. I got the "dead prophets power has left.." message a couple of turns back and i now have the option to appoint a new, but my original is not dead. Anyone else seeing game glitches?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

That never happened to me. In fact ive never heard of such instance.
Its not in the bugs short list.
keep a copy of the save. maybe it will be useful to Edi.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I haven't seen this, but it has been reported recently. sansanjuan made note of it: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...postcount=2648

Edi thinks the problem might be do to a fix related to dead prophets not triggering the ability to reappoint a prophet. A sort of over-correction most likely.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I need an extension of 24 hours tacked on to the end of our next turn as I will be out of town until late Sunday.

Thank you,,,please confirm (Arco)

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I have also PM'd Torin...

Since we have had some issues on this could I please have a confirmaton on the extension as I am in the middle of a war and a stale in this situation isn't what I need.:re:

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Postponed 24 hs

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Um. I thought he needed the 24 hours tacked on the next turn. Not this one.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I do need 24 tacked on the NEXT turn...

If Sauro would have got his turn in I might of been able to get this turn in before I left in 8 Hours.

However, I will need at lEAST 12 hours and most likely 24 on the NEXT turn if Sauro takes it to the very end of the turn.

If quickhost is on I will get it done as fast as I can when I get back.

Thanks...I will PM Torin as I don't think he reads these forums much:up:

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

It is turn 53 and I respectfully dissolve the Nap I have made with Fomotia.

As I give it effective turn 53 Hostilities will commence on turn 56 unless we agree to an earlier date.

Arco

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I have the most recent turn (as of Friday the 15 in...I may need a 24 hour for the NEXT turn as I am leaving town.

I have talked to Torin already and he said "ok

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

So...it didn't work. Can we try rehosting it once or twice to make sure it won't work? I'm not really looking forward to redoing my entire turn.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

OK...I am leaving at 6AN CST USA tomorrow morning dor 5 days.

I was going to work on this turn all day and get it sent in and ask for an extension till tuesday for the NEXT turn.

So before I ry and load the turn that just came in....are you saying that it doesn't take, it staled, what?

If we don't get this resolved REAL soon then I will need an extension till tuesday on THIS turn (57 I think) if it doesn't work.

Let me ask this....If EVERONE stales then unless your starving somewhere it should have no effect on wars, or anything else should it?

Let me know guys...:doh:

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Sorry for the E-mail with all the errors, I am trying to do 5 things at once...:doh::doh::(

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

BTW, once I receive a turn notifacation that its received I delete the present turn as I can always add to it ect once its turned in....I DON'T have turn 57 anymore.

Someone would have to send it to me agian.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I think Llamaserver keeps a copy of all the .2h files that were sent in. So all we'd have to do is a manual rollback then a manual force host.

Who's the admin for this game again?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Torin is admin but he doesn't check the forums much or his PM's so I email him. You might want to do that or I am going to raise all kinds of H@ll if I have to stale.

I really am trying to pack, work and get this dang turn in all at once!!!

This game is driving me crazy...

BTW PM me and let me know what is happenong in your part of the worldas it will affect my next turn.:up:

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Drop me a PM with Torin's email if you don't have time to drop him a line.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I'm sure I'm the one that caused the failure since I'm the one that staled even though I submitted a turn file. (I've got a confirmation e-mail from llamaserver to show for it.) If you roll back and force hosting before I have a chance to redo my turn, the game will fail again.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Then we could roll back, then you could try submitting your turn again, and then force host.

It's worth a shot. I don't care much for everyone staling a turn.

Paging Torin!

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Go back in this thread to where Torin has been on. You either Right Click or left click ( I forget) on the part that says 'Online' or 'Not Online'.

Hit view public profile and it will have "send a privite mwssage and in some it will also have send an E-mail" (Depends on how you set it up), Just click on that (Mine is set up the same way...it doesn't give you the E-mail address...just sends one with yours to respond).

Send him a PM AND an E-mail AND put it in the forum to back yourself up if je doesn't see it or respond.

He doesn't say much....just "OK" in the few instances I have contacted him.

iF we get it done fairly soon I will start working on my turn and will stay up until I can get it done but I will need a EXTENSION on the NEXT turn till Tuesday (though if he sets it on quickhost there is a chance we won't make the finals and I may be back a little earlier and can keep us on schedule).

If NOT then I WII just need an extension till Tuesday on this turn...there is just no way around it as I told everyone earlier.

ALSO, PM me with your Info, plans what ever... PLEASE.

Hope this helps ...let me know what we are doing.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Ok to make this clear to evryone.

I have Pm'd Torin and explained the situation.

I am leaving town Tommorow morning at 6 am CST USA time and will be back Monday evening.

I had asked that the NEXT turn (58) have an extension to Tuesday with it still set on quick host in case we don't make the finals.

With this screwup we have 2 options...everyone gets a stale or we ALL redo turn (57) and HOPE (according to Lama) that it works.

If we are going to redo the turn anyway what difference does a stale make IF we all have it.

Regardless, At this point I am requesting (and have told Torin) that I will need an extension until Tuesday. I MAY have limited access to a comp and could get my turn in on time.

But I need the Extension just the same in case.

What bothers me right now is that only Bigdisawesome and myself have either noticed this or have a comment.

Also I will need turn 57 sent to me as I have deleted it once I got a received message to save space on my E-mail list.

Sorry guys, I am stressed trying to get eveything done so I can get a little sleep and be ready to play tomorrow.

Grudge

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Doesn't really matter too much to me weather we roll back or run with it. Sounds like we're gonna have an all weekend pause anyway so we'll have plenty of time to discuss it.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

What I need is the discussion to get discussed so I know what I need to do IF I can access a computer.

Otherwise I will be back and have about 12 hours to do my turn WHATEVER we do....

This game is one of the best I have played and I want it to comtinue.

It just seems at this stage of the game any thing that gord wrong has a BIG imppact on the turns and what you scripted.

I just was lobbying for us to continue with the stale as if everyone staled there was a 'No harm No foul' to it.

That was until I loaded the game and saw the things that had happened because it DID stale.

Sigh...I guess I don't really care, lets just do something.:eek:

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I sent K a PM to see if he remembers the PW. If I get it, I'll try rolling back the current turn. If that happens you won't need the old turn GrudgeBringer.
See here.
http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ction=rollback

Hopefully if AoE resubmits his turn it'll work and the turn we all did already will work.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

However, I'm off to work for at least the next 8-9 hours. But we won't let you stale Grudge. It's too late in the game not to give extensions to prevent stales.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Everyone staled 'cause Llamaserver unloaded the turns and tried again with blanks after the game crashed. I kinda think it may be my fault, after getting errors in an SP game i realized that i had downloaded the "b" version of the last patch but never installed it, so i did so. I did do the turn over from the start after i updated, but maybe i should have re-downloaded it entirely. I've had a couple glitchy things happen this game before this- the prophet thing i mentioned earlier and two cases of false video tape in minor battles with Sauro. Perhaps these are due to my failure to patch properly, or perhaps there's something else entirely going on.

In any case i'm for holding up for as long as it takes to get this straightened out and make sure GB gets a chance to get his turn in. Possibly someone else who's a little more active on the forum could take over as admin?

@Grudgebringer - the Horror Harmonica attack was very amusing :D

@Big- Zoiks! That is a ferocious onslaught, I think I may be toast.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

ok so we rollback to do turn 57 again??

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Yes, but if it doesn't work we might have to try rolling back and having AoE and/or Tyrant resubmit their turns then try.

I don't mind taking care of it if you wanna pass off hosting duties.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I still need a Extension till tuesday\

I didn't get to see the battle, never used it before.....did it do anything?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I'm on stand-by, but honestly the whole issue isn't worth this much complicated fuss. Also, everyone should have an equal chance to rethink their turn in my opinion.

P.S.: Something about GrudgeBringer's writing style bothers me. The way he makes each sentence a paragraph makes it harder for me to get what he is saying. No offense, its just weird.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

So...are you gonna take care of it Torin?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

rolled to 57. lets see how that works

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I've done my part. A new turn made form scratch.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I think you will also need to delay hosting by a few days for Grudgebringer

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

AOE, sorry if I confuse you with my writing style. I separate each point into a paragraph so that it's easier to scan for the points you want to pick out.

Thanks, Revolution. I have very limited access to a computer, and there is no way I can start turn 57 before I return on Monday evening. However, I will work diligently to get it completed ASAP (Tyrant...guess I won't use that horror harmonica trick again, huh?)

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

Well if you submitted a turn 57 already, then the llamaserver still has it on file and will use it if I'm not mistaken. So really only people that might have had problems need to resubmit. AoE and maybe Tyrant. So if Tyrant get's his turn in before this hosts tomorrow then it should be good to go.

This text excerpt comes from the llamaserver...
Note that once the game is rolled back, it will appear that the game is waiting for 2h files from all players. However, the 2h files from last time the turn was played will in fact be there, and will be used if the game hosts without them being overwritten. This can be useful; often, a game is rehosted in order for only one or two players to retake their turns, while everyone else is expected to make no changes. The game admin can therefore wait till just those players have submitted, and then force hosting. None of the other players will stale (assuming they actually submitted a 2h file last time the turn was played).

So you'll still need an extension on the next turn, but you should be alright on this one.

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

I was thinking we were delaying till next week and I've got evening plans. Any chance we could delay for 8 hours so i can do my turn tomorrow morning instead of the middle of the night tonight?

Re: EA DarkHeavens (Game on!)
 

NM, got it in, much easier the second time 'round.
