Default Re: Global Spells

The only way that could have happened is if the turn before the stale, the player who cast the global cast it using the monthly command.

There's no way ANY orders of ANY sort happen during a stale turn. Nothing. Unless they were already queued in a previous turn, like overflow recruitment, or monthly rituals, or blood hunt/blood sacrifice/preach for example.



e: To clarify, the way it works is the client (player) compiles a .2h file containing that player's orders. The server is given the .2h file and checks if it corresponds to the current turn. If the server doesn't have a .2h file that corresponds to the current turn, when the timer runs down it generates the turn and assigns no orders, and gives the stale turn message. The server might have an old .2h file that corresponds to an older turn, but it won't use it, since it does check to see if the .2h corresponds to the right turn. In other words, having partial orders is impossible. Either the server got a current .2h and the player did not get the stale turn message, or the server did not get a current .2h, no orders were executed, and the player got the stale turn message.
