Yes all are welcome, but please be aware that since this is game is not aimed only at new players, it may be a trial by fire ;)

Bandar Log, please.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Recruiting Players 7/15)
 

OK, I was thinking about either Bandar Log or Shinuyama. Then you chose it for me. I will choose Shinuyama.

Ashdod for me.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full.. starting soon)
 

Ok the game is up: http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Origin

Don't forget to enable CBM 1.3 in your mod preferences when creating a pretender.

E-mail your pretender to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net

Make sure you have the word "Origin" in the subject of the e-mail.

Check the Llamaserver FAQ<URL=HTTP: showthread.php?t="35160" forum.shrapnelgames.com> if there are any other questions connecting

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

I was in several blitzes a few years ago, but I've never been in a non-blitz MP.
I followed the directions on the Llamaserver FAQ, and a minute or two later the Llamaserver page for Origin updated to show Ashdod as having a pretender uploaded. But the directions say that I should receive a confirmation email after a few minutes. It's been almost 4 hours now, and I haven't received one. Which doesn't matter of course. But if I can't recieve my turns, that might be a problem...

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Yeah, it doesn't send me that confirmation letter for uploading my pretender either. But I still have no problem with it, and it will start sending confirmation e-mails when you start sending turns.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Hmm, strange.... I didn't get one either. I'm pretty sure it used to do that. Perhaps it stopped working at some point and llama doesn't know about it. I'll try to find out.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Yeah llama confirmed that the notifications stopped working recently, and he hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet. Just make sure your nation shows up on the game page after you send the e-mail, and everything should be ok.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

10 uploaded, 5 more to go.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

The game has started! I've received my first turn

Any rules I need to know quick? I presume mercenaries are allowed? I presume casting wish is allowed? It says all other settings are default, though I notice that renaming commanders appears to be legal.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Yep, good luck to all! Only restriction I can think of is... don't copy the "Fire Commanders" from bogus. Other than that anything goes.

As far as renaming commanders, I must have missed that when setting up the game. I don't think it has a big impact though, so not worth a restart.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

I've never heard of that exploit, what is it? And how do you know if someone uses it?

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

The archer from the event where Bogus the troll attacks one of your provinces has a "Fire at Commanders" command. If charmed, the command can be copied to other commanders that shouldn't have it. It's likely you can tell that someone is abusing it by running the game with the -ddd flag. Perhaps it's even been fixed now. I couldn't find it on the bug list.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Anything goes? Have Mists of deception been fixed then or is considered ok? The movement exploit thinghy whatever it was is ok? There are some other examples I guess. I just mean "anything goes" could be a bit risky to say.

Perhaps you should reserve yourself the right as admin to interfere in case of extreme and obvious exploits/cheats?

Though I agree we should be as liberal as possible.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Yeah the batte enchantment + retreat thing has been fixed, as has the movement bug. I'm just not aware of anything else that I'd consider enough of an exploit to ban. But you're probably right, and I'd just say excercise your best judgement.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

First weekend of the game, lets see if we can fit a few extra turns in.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

well just waiting on Abysia, but they staled last turn...

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

I'm looking for a replacement. If I can't find anyone, Abysia will be set to AI this turn.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Hey guys, I'm really sorry about the stales, I lost internet connection at a very inopportune time and I understand if you want to sub me out or set me to AI. I can continue to play without any more stales but, again, I understand if you want me out.


My apologies,
Deadnature

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

If you can play, why we would we want you out? I thought you might have vanished as often happens in MP games.

But you designed the pretender and scales so I'd happily have you play on vs. a sub or AI.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... upload pretenders)
 

Yeah I'm happy to have you continue playing if possible.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

ok, thanks for understanding guys I'm gonna have to do some fast expanding to keep up; should be a nice challenge :)

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

There should be plenty of room for you to catch up. This map is considerably larger than I realized!

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

I submitted turns and got confirmation email. I wonder why it still shows "waiting for 2h file" for Shinuyama.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

It looks like it's fixed now. Probably that status page had not updated yet.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

Whats up with Oceania? He has staled twice and is the only nation yet to submit this turn, but seems to be have at least been on the boards recently.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything. I'll try looking for a replacement.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

It seems there are issues with the llamaserver, so I've turned off quickhost temporarily. I may delay the game as well if it looks like other games continue to report problems when the turn is processed.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

Another game (Joker2) just hosted and everything seems fine, the mails are still insane but it seems to be working anyhow.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

I think it's probably best if we just postpone it until the server is fixed.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

It looks like the game is back up. It may be wise to resend your last turn, just to make sure there are no issues given the recent problems with the server.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

Apparently we're switching versions now? My latest turn file causes dominions to exit with a message that I need 3.21.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

Oh yes. Sorry I forgot to mention it. Llamaserver was upgraded to the new version already, so everyone will have to upgrade before submitting their next turn.

Re: Origin - new MA CBM game (Full... started)
 

I had a strange thing happen between turn 16 and 17:
I had a province go from 44 resources to 0 resources with no apparent explanation between turns in an MP game. No events, no change in population, no unrest. Just my resources vanished. And it was a province i had built a lab/temple to recruit indies. Can't do that anymore...
