most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

I'm afraid i have to quit all games i'm in. my 'rl' situation has changed unexpectedly and I must dedicate most of my free time to my son. I am in the following games, anyone who wants to take over is more than welcome. Other wise game-masters please set me to CC.

my password for all games is 'nopeeking'

MOSEHANSEN:

port 2269
port 2263
port 2281


BENATAR.SNURGLE.ORG

port 2000

thanks again and good luck to all

Potential subs might want more info about some of these positions.

The mosehansen 2269 game, "Faerun Folly" is the only one I know about. The nation is Pangaea and it's late-game (approaching turn 70, I think). Pangaea has no enemies I know of, and is currently digesting one or two AI positions, but there are at least 4 stronger nations in the game, so the prospects of victory are not great.

Madre di dios, djtool! You're the _second_ person to post their passwords publicly, meaning that _all_ their games need to be set to AI, because _ANYONE_ can screw with the orders for those games now.

We need a bloody bumper sticker, "If you're stupid and you know it, post your password".

Remember! Passwords can't be changed, so posting your password publicly invites unethical people to ... use that password, either to modify orders, or to look at battle plans and orders.

Sweet mother of morons. _EMAIL_ a password when you have a replacement, don't post it. Or do people a favor and simply set your positions to AI, if you really don't have enough time to spend arranging a replacement.

omg djtool at least edit your post. then hopefully no one who's seen it cares. that really does screw the games you're in quite somewhat http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

sorry you can't continue playing though.

also having just been bitten by the "forced stale if you're in the game and do someone's turn even if using master password to set the game to AI" there's no way in hell i'm going to screw myself over again.

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

Sorry to hear you are forced to leave http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Hopefully whatever is up with your son will turn out OK.

Figures... I'm hosting six games, only playing in one, and it's this one.

I can set you to AI if that's the consensus, but this would result in me seeing your turn. It would probably be best for you to set yourself to AI.

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

I think you can avoid this if you can arrange to submit the turns from different IP addresses. That's what I'm going to try to do in Faerun Folly in a couple of hours if no-one shows up prepared to play Pangaea with a compromised password.

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

the message says "CD key violation" so I would worry if both turns come from installations of the same copy of Dom II. Better to find some trusted third party, like sheap http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif, to set the player to AI. That's what I should have done.

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

This issue was discussed in the thread MP Game - Faerun Folly and re-reading it, I see Kristoffer O saying that you need to do both turns from the same machine, same IP, to avoid the stale. That's how I understand his post, anyway.

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

ehh, that's what i did when it happened to me. same machine, same ip. which makes sense, if it is a cd key violation.

anyways, I can set him to AI for you - where do I download whatever Version of faerum is being used?

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

Arryn's site has it, I think.

EDIT: No, on second thought it might be Gandalf's.
Just a moment, I'll see if i can find the URL.

EDIT: http://www.dom2minions.com/~tmpspace/
(Faerun.zip) if the Version from Arryn doesn't work (but it should).

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

d/ling original revised from arryn's

edit: i'm still nagotting w/ a malloc re. faerum.tga

Re: most apologetic, subs needed for 4 games
 

ahh, that Version worked. Pan now set to AI.
