It's a weekend thing.

@ tgbob - Let me know if and when you need any delay for your weekend trip.

@ Phonics / All - Atlantis staled last turn, which is not good considering a sub has only recently been found to stop such a thing happening. I PM-ed Phonics 36 hours ago to see what the situation is, but I've had no reply as of yet. But I notice Phonics is submitting turns for another game, so maybe it was a missing .trn file issue that caused the stale here (that's just an educated guess though). Hoping it was just a one-off stale

[PsiSoldier]

Atlantis is dead. When Neifle Cast the Astral Corruption Caleum asked for a cease fire and I accepted. And after Neifle gave in to my demands Atlantis was just the next logical target. There is nothing Phonics or anyone else could do. It doesn't matter much since Atlantis will only be around for a few more turns. The seas belong to Agartha now. I'll take his capital in just 2 more turns and by then there wont be much of anything else left belonging to Atlantis either.

[Calahan]

Yes, Atlantis appear to be in trouble, but I still wouldn't mind knowing what happened to Phonics. Since he's listed as playing Atlantis in the 'Aquamarine' game which has just started, and Atlantis hasn't staled any turns there so far.

So it appears he's still submitting turns in another game, but just not in this game for some reason?!?!

@ Phonics - Good to see you back Hope you can put up a good last stand against Agartha

@ All - tgbob has requested a delay as he is away over the weekend. He hasn't told me how long a delay he will need though, so I will add 24 hours for now, and may add further time if tgbob gets back to me asking for more, or if the deadline gets close without me having heard from tgbob (and his turn still outstanding)

@ All

I'm looking doubtful of getting home from work in time to finish up my turn tonight (think I need at least another hour or two on it at a guess). I'm going to add 4 hours to give myself some chance of getting it done though. But I may have to extend it until tomorrow if tiredness gets the better of me, since I don't see much point in struggling to stay awake until very late just to get a turn done.

Apologies for the short delay all the same though.

@ All

Just had a message from the llamaserver (which I assume you all got) that the attempted hosting of turn 84 failed due to a "Nagot gick fel" error.

Never encountered this problem before personally, but heard about it from various game threads. I guess our only options are the two suggested in the message. I certainly wouldn't want to see an entire turn staled by everyone at this stage, as there are wars going on, and a skipped turn could have serious repercussions. Especially as it effectively acts as a 'free' round of sieging, meaning fort walls could fall sooner than they should have.

So my suggestion is to rollback and attempt an immediate re-host. Since despite the llamaserver message saying this will only repeat the error, I did notice a game a few weeks back that did this exact thing without getting the error again. And I mainly noticed it as I remember thinking "I'm sure that won't work", but it did. So think it's worth trying as it will only take a few minutes to do, and if it fails then we've lost nothing (as we'll just be back to where we are now). But if it succeeds then it'll save us having to re-do all our turns.

If it doesn't work, then the only option is for all of us to genuinely re-do our turns as suggested in the llamaserver message.

I will wait for some feedback before doing anything though.

Give re-hosting a go, we lose nothing either way.

[PsiSoldier]

I dont see any harm in rehosting. It looks like the game still used all my gems for spells I cast but I didnt get what I should have gotten for it, so I more or less paid for nothing as it stands now.

[Valerius]

I agree; rehosting is worth a try.
