Default Re: PBW: now that\'s quite the trick.

Phoenix-D,

The Last four .plr turns you have summitted have been exactly the same file size. The statistical odds against this being the case even for two consecutive turns normally are staggering.

Most likely what's happening is you have separate installs for 1.78 and 1.84 on your computer. And you are downloading and playing the turns normally using 1.84, but when it comes time to upload your .plr file you are browsing to the 1.78 directory by accident and uploading the same .plr file over and over. I strongly suggest you go to the 1.78 install and delete the .plr file there to avoid this with future turns.

The double colonize message is a bit odd, but I have seen cases where the AI takes a turn for a player in a sim turn game and the game will send duplicate Messages. I thought at first it was a feature built in so that the player doesn't miss important log events when they miss a turn, but it doesn't happen consistantly, so I am not really sure it's that.

I have no problem setting the turn back a few turns to undo any damage the AI did to your empire. Have you mentioned the problem to yoru opponent?
