Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

well I think we should kick Arco out, etiquette is one thing, but this would also avoid potential cheating and stalling.

According to my previous MP experience mysterious players who fail to acknowledge their identity should be banned in the first place, before something goes wrong.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

it's pretty universal that they end up just staling out. If he's a real player, he should be able to post... Ubercat, you can restart it while keeping our other sent pretenders, right?

should modify the title to say we would like one or two more players, then.

Exactly. No mystery players in my games.

It can be either good orbad to be next to an AI in an MP game. The AI has no respect for NAPs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Sorry guys. I did my turn as soon as the game started and sent the thing. Not sure what happened after that. I may have sent it by accident to medley1 insteada 2. Got it together, now.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Got this e-mail from a guy yesterday:

Hi,

This was going to be my first multiplayer Dominions game. It was said in the Llamaserver FAQ not to use a password for your pretender. It seems that somebody has hijacked my pretender as soon as the game started and reset the email address to their own email. I was playing as Arcoscephale. This is very discouraging and I think in the future you should not tell people not to set a password.
--

Of course it had nothing to do with the password. Took me a while to realise I could check his e-mail address against the log to work out which game he was talking about. Anyway, it seems he was your mysterious Arco player. I e-mailed him back to explain you have to post on the forum if you want to play in a game, and that you were well within your rights to kick him, but also that if he posted here to join a game he'd be very welcome.

Mystery (largely) solved. Still seems a bit bizarre he didn't post, but there we go.
