How\'d this happen?
 

OK, I'm in a Pirates and Nomads game on PBW, playing as a pirate race. After I submitted my last turn, I recieved an email telling me I had ben eliminated from the game.

The only way this could of happened, that I can come up with, is that an event triggred and the population of my Homeworld, my lone planet, rebelled.

Now here is what I don't get. I'd just submitted my turn, not all players have done their turn yet, so the the turn hasn't been processed.


So what happened?!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

I've told my gamemaster, and he's looking into it as well.

I'm assuming I'm actually out of the game, because when I click on the Game's forum button I get;

The following exception occured:

You were not authorized to that action.

Getting a log message in-game means all your stuff is dead.

Getting an email from PBW about it means only that the game host clicked the "Finished" button on your empire.

You will probably have to talk to a PBW admin about rolling the turn back, and un-finishing the empire, then rejoin the game.

I'm thinking we might go ahead and do the next turn and see if the problem doesn't just fix itself, but if it didn't, we'd have to do two turns over.

I got your email about possible message tricks, but I can assure thats not the case, I only know 2 races other than my own, and I haven't had any dealings with them for a while now.

DarkAnt mentioned possible intel, but like the Event possibility, I did not recieve notification, and it will still mean that it happened before the turn had been processed.

If you like, SJ, I can foward the Elimination notice to you so you can see it.

Re: How\'d this happen?
 

I never clicked your finished button and according to pbw you're still there. Tis very strange. Anyway, the turn will be run offline(thanks SJ) to make sure nothing goes terribly wrong and then I'll get the game going again. Sorry about this.

Re: How\'d this happen?
 

Hmm...the turn ran and I had it set that it shouldn't meaning a pbw admin got to it before I did? Just tell me if anything went wrong.

*edit*
Nothing seems to have gone wrong as far as I can tell...which means I lost a 1000 mineral bet to SJ.

Re: How\'d this happen?
 

Well, I was able to download my turn, play it, and upload it just fine. Nothing seemed amiss in my turn, so I guess it's all good.

Just some weird happenings is all.....I hope.
