Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

I got a crappy starting position. I hope we start over. :D

Of course, if Tao is having technical difficulties, then I'm all in favor of waiting for him. But if he's stopped communicating...

So I guess we leave the ball in your court, Valerius? If you hear from him and he still can play, then we start over. Or if he's not playing then we find a sub. Hmm. Maybe the person playing Caelum. :p

Thanks for helping us with this, Valerius.

This is the worst part about restarting - someone usually ends up with a worse start position than they had the first time around. But I think we're going to have to do that since, as you noted, the mystery Caelum player has sent in a turn but not responded to my question of whether they are TaoCuathon.

I'll wait a few more minutes, then put the game back at "waiting for pretenders" (and *turn off* the autostart to avoid this happening again).

He was last on the forum under twelve hours ago and his last PM to me wasn't much longer ago than that so I'm hopeful we just need to resolve his problem with the savedgames folder.

No problem. BTW, admining a game is easy - except when things go wrong. ;)

Mysterious Caelum
 

Okay, should we wait another twelve hours, then if we don't hear from Tao, we'll just continue as we are with the mystery Caelum player? Would that be appropriate?

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

No, I don't like having unknown players in the game. If we don't hear from Tao I'll check to see if a player that missed sign-ups for Trinity by seconds is interested in playing.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

Okay, sounds good. :)

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

I heard back from Tao and he asked that we find a sub. I PM'd Nightfall, who just missed out on the Trinity game, to see if he's interested. If not, then I'll reopen recruitment.

I see almost everyone already submitted their turns. I'm going to return the game to accepting pretenders status and remove Caelum. Sorry about the delays/restart - sometimes things just don't go smoothly.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

Good news! Nightfall is interested in joining the game. He is looking through the available nations to see which seems interesting. I'll reset the game now.

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

Wonderful news! Welcome, Nightfall. :)

Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
 

It seems as though the pretender I had previously uploaded for Eriu has been saved for the relaunch of the game. As such, I assume that there is no need to resubmit my pretender. If this is not the case feel free to let me know.
