Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Commandante Loko will not be participating in this game, feel free to take any of his prefered nations.

Also some more info about the game, it will be a dedicated server running pretty close to 24/7 with game being quickhosted or forcehosted if no quickhost for 2 days. The prefered speed is once a day, but with some slack as theres always something that might get in the way.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

You might want to change this to a specific name so that people can find it. OR altertantively have the post moved to the MP forum after the game is started so it's easier to keep track.

Aldin Marignon

Game will start after the weekend, or as soon as I get all the pretenders.

Ps. Anyone getting force hosted 3 times will be Banned from all future games.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

James will be joining as Pangea.

also if you could pm me your email as you upload your pretender, that would be good. so i can nag you when/if your late with a turn and for better communication for server related things.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">A PM here is probably the best way to reach me. This game should finish extremely quickly with a 35 province victory condition.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Actually I think you'll be suprised by the time it will take. 35 provinces is over 2.5 times your share of provinces (not considering water) so should take some time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Ok now we're only missing:

Man
Ermor
Vanheim
Machaka

Looks like we might get the game started today or tomorrow if they turn in they're pretenders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Oh no, the server keeps the pretender saved. You just need to connect again when we start up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Just uploaded my machaka Pretender.
I hope I dont need to be Online,to reserve Machaka as human controlled, all the time until the game starts?

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Just waiting for Malcoda now, then we'll be off http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Finally got my design finished... but the server is down...?

Pillin do you have a pretender for Man? I hadn't submitted one, so if so it might be an error.

I will send you my nation settings by PM to confirm....

Regards,

Rabe the Avalonian

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Found the server, had wrong ip in shortcut.


Pillin please confirm pretender name from pm.

tried to upload, though it said human controlled before I started and gave me the "your god is now in charge of man" msg after some vigorous clicking. Status unclear.

Regards,

Rabe the Lord in Limbo.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Rabe, you crack me up so bad.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

After sorting things out with Rabe I've decided to start the game. Vanheim will not be participating as I havent had any acknowledgment that hes in the game. So missing one player I decided to up the victory condition to 45 provinces. Hope this isnt a problem.

Good luck everybody!

Ps. I will also be sending out a email notice for this.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Took my turn successfully. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

God, I forgot what a viciously bad terrain map DE can be....

Another thing I noticed is... we are on a map with a fair amount of water, and no water-based nations.

Any particular reason we avoided Inland?


Rabe of the Poor Starting Position.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Bad news everyone. someone on this forum was kind enough to overwrite the ulm pretender with one of they're own, so we'll have to restart.

This time I'm not posting the port, but mailing it to you.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

I didnt receive the Email with the new IP/port.
Could someone please leave me a Personal Message?

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Took my turn, it hosted... now I get hung at "waiting for game info" when trying to connect.... anyone else having this problem?

Rabe the Rejected

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

If the server's been up a few days, it's probably getting clogged by the unburied corpses of dead connections, and needs to be restarted.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Game crashed when hosting, back up now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Down again?

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Yes, I was without net connection for some hours today. Server is back up again.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Crashed again?

I recommend NOT upgrading, for now....

heh - nothing like taking the naval Version of Marigon then winding up in the middle of the continent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Between that and my complete military ineptitude I have chosen to become computer controlled for the four turns it will take my neighbors to eliminate me entirely - have fun all!

>Took my turn, it hosted... now I get hung

I get it pretty much every time. It takes a minute or so to get game info (another game I'm in it takes a few seconds). About 50% of the time it returns with "Got bad packet from server" so I just have to keep on retrying until it gets through. I guess this is why the server is getting clogged with dead connections.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Pillin, did you upgrade the server to 2.08, or am I getting a unrelated weird error?

Rabe the Tired of posting on this board...

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

I can't read my turnfile with 2.06, but I can with 2.08. I presume from this that the server has been upgraded. I'm preparing my next turn with 2.08 as that appears to be my only option.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Marignon didnt go computer controlled it seems...maybe someone should remind Aldin .

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Whoops! Sorry, thought I did it right. Could someone PM me the current IP / Port so I can correct this?

~Aldin

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Seems to be crashed again.

I'd like to thank Pillin for putting up with hosting the server, since it seems to do this every turn and must be a pain in the a**.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Server crashed while I was logged in, dunno if it thinks it got my .2h.

Please do NOT host until I can make sure it's properly uploaded.

Thanks,

Rabe the Bad luck Charmer

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

OK bad news everyone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif That Last crash was actually my hd giving up the ghost.. its now in the supercomputer in the sky R.I.P. I was not able to recover the fathrland file and I didnt really forsee this so no backup either http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Good luck with the machine.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Darn, sorry to hear that the game is gone. I was so looking forward to seeing how my 300+ undead army was going to fare against your bordering Natajara SC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Thats very sad,I loved my Machaka Kingdom:(

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

That's annoying, since I had found a devil's lair on turn5.

Re: Pillins tcpip game(was New server game) (full)
 

Yeah I was enjoying that game too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif and your undeads would not only be meet by my avatar (whos not built for undead slaying, too much encumbrance) but also a strong company of elephants and foot soldiers, backed up by a decent amount of priests http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
