Bah server is down? Now I am sad in teh pants!

FAJ · #**362** November 21st, 2006, 06:21 PM

I was able to connect, did the whople turn, then as I ended turn, it went down! Now I have to do the whole thing over, when it comes back up

.

BTW, as for artifcat commissions, im still confused. Am I paying for the cost of the item, plus the commission, i.e. a skull mentor would cost me 24 each, or 14 each?

Remarkable, the server crashes immediately upon me leaving my apartment.

I will see what I can do, if anything.

FAJ: You probably won't have to redo your turn - your turnfile should automatically re-upload when the server comes back up.

A Skull Mentor from Sauromatia would cost you 14 gems.
A Skull Mentor from Tien Chi would cost you 12 gems.

But, and this is important, if you invade Sauromatia, you'll be considered a friendly nation by Tien Chi, and then you can get Skull Mentors from Tien Chi for only 10 gems.

So catsby, am I a friend or am i neutral?

Sheap don't worry about it if it is too much trouble. I plan on consuming large amounts of Thanksgiving food over the next few days to celebrate my occupation of native american, iraqi and afghanistan lands. (As suggested by a very misinformed person in this thread

)

so, your forging items at the gain of 2 gems?

How much would a lightless lantern cost?

Server was knocked out by power outage. I will attempt to get it back up before I head out. Otherwise, it could be down until Monday.

The 24 hour timer will be reset.

By the way:
You do not have to be connected to the server to play your turn, only to upload and download. It's basically the PBEM procedure, only without the EM. I usually use this process:
1) Connect to server, download turn, get to map screen
2) Go to options and choose "quit without saving"
3) Choose "play existing game" - your game should appear.
4) Play the turn normally and hit "end turn"
5) You'll be returned to the main menu.
6) Connect to the server, choose nation and put in your password if prompted. It will say "2h file has been uploaded."
7) Congratulations, you played your turn offline.

This has some advantages such as, you can play your turn on a laptop, over flaky dialup, if the server is down, saves money if your internet is metered per-minute, etc.

Close enough. We're forging items with a normal cost of 10 at a gain of 2 gems.

A lightless lantern would cost 6 gems (a gain of 1), unless you invaded Sauromatia or Arcocephale (in which case it would cost you only 5).
