Archaean - New LA Game - Upload pretenders

[James243]

Hmm...I've found the problem. The restart has made the Age "Invalid Age". On the admin page it's not registering any pretenders, therefore the 'delete pretender' link is inactive.

Additionally, the restart seems to have reset my admin password.

Ok, I'm going to create a new game called Archaean2. Please upload your pretenders to it. And please no-one select Ryleh or Ermor - it seems that once pretenders are sent they cant be deleted.

Ok, the new game "Archaean2" is now up. Please upload your pretenders again - so sorry for all the fuss. As soon as the twelfth pretender is uploaded the game apparently automatically kicks off, but the first turn seems to have a 2 or 3 day hosting period.

The great Old Man king of Agartha has been resent, though he was muttering the whole time about thinking he had done this before. He was also babbling something about it being a 15 mile trip uphill in the snow.

The Argathan people ask that you kindly ignore his rantings. He hasn't had any cake today.

[James243]

Haha - poor old man king of Agartha. Might be a bit of deja vu among the pretender gods today...

[Quitti]

Aww, well, wasn't in such a good starting location anyway... *grumble*

Hey guys, sorry for the hold-up, but I seem to have a problem uploading my pretender. Whenever I send my newlords/ file to pretenders (a) llamaserver (dot) net I get a response telling me that 'SPAM-LOW: Archaean2' doesn't exist

Then it goes on to tell me that Archaean2 does exist and that I can join...

I used no mods when I created my pretender (I thought that was the problem at first) I have had no problem uploading in the past. Weird huh?

I got the same message 3 times in a row. Keep trying. You will get thru. I did.

[Otherling]

Seems weird. I can only think of the obvious things to try: double-check the spelling, try recreating the pretender, maybe send it from a different address?

[Deadnature]

Ok, I'll keep at it and see what happens...hopefully we can get our first turn soon. Its strange because there are no obvious mistakes (spelling etc.) but my pretender went in for the last game just fine.

Furthermore, my turns for the other two games I am playing have no problem.

Thanks for the tips, we'll see what happens...

[Deadnature]

Well, I've tried everything: different email address, new pretenders, sending it several times, sending it in lowercase, carefully checking the spelling. My pretender is indeed from the LAutgart and so on.

I will keep trying but as of now I've gotten 20 or so "game does not exist" messages.
