My ships are suddenly going all over the place, I wasted a turn of research, etc. Arrrggghhh!

Did the same thing happen to you, or was it just me?

Think back, Tater, and see if this might be what happened. This has happened between Lord Chane and I a few times and I think we figured it out to this error:

Parabolize had his turn uploaded already. You then unloaded yours...but the site just sat there. You, thinking it wasn't doing anything, clicked on the Upload button again. THEN what happened was your first turn went and the site started processing the turn. What you didn't know what that you sent the same turn twice. So, you left the site and started looking at your turn. Meanwhile, Parabolize finishes his turn and submits. Bingo, the turn runs because all files are ready only yours is the same turn file you sent before.

If this might be the answer to your question my advice is this: NEVER click the Upload button again. Have patience. Or exit the site and come back in and see if it has registered your turn.
