trade/gift bug???

If not already done, someone who can describe this in detail should submit this to MM.

I always send Messages Last in the turn, as things I do might affect the content of the message.
And I've almost never had any problems with gifts/trades... seems to verify what's already stated.

Ok, I'll do my diplomatic stuff at the end of the turn now. Problem is, I tend to forget that when I've done everything else...

However, this doesn't solve the problem completely. Last turn I offered a gift, and this message didn't come through, although sending it was one of the very Last things I did (just sending one or two other Messages after this one). Unfortunately, only *one* message can be the very Last one...

Maybe I should report this to MM... what's the proper procedure?

Anyway, thanks for the help

Hey, maybe I could do your trades/gifts and you do my retrofitting??

Hmmm... interesting idea

All we need is some tech to instantly beam our ships across the galaxy, and of course, you'll have to gift all your techs to me so I can do your retrofits

Wait... gifting things does not work with me

...looks like we are stuck...

I have summoned this thread from the misty depths of time because a current PBW game is reporting the same problem. Several players are affected, and they are definitely trying to do diplomacy last during their turns.

Has anybody else run into this recently? Has anybody found a solution? The PBW admins are stumped.

No idea. I just know that very little is known about this bug except that saving might be involved and that doing diplomacy last usually avoids it.

I can almost assuredly say that I never saved when I found success at using diplo at the end.

Recommendation for a work-around? Do your turn. Save it (if you think that's necessary). Open it back (if you saved it off), do diplo and run/upload your turn without saving again.

Ya, what Slynky just said is exactly what I do, and I haven't seen this problem since I've been doing this. (For whatever that datum is worth.)
