Could that person please identify himself/herself, and prepare a new pretender (take care with the password) so we can get moving again?

Will the new game have the same name? Do I need to blow that directory away or will it overwrite automatically? |

Re: Gandalf ! Help !
We don't KNOW that the person exists yet. No name or nation has been stated as missing a password. Someone could be pulling our leg...

Re: Gandalf ! Help !
That's true, and the reason we're waiting for the person to identify themselves.

Re: Gandalf ! Help !
I could go into a deep explanation but the short response is that cracking a password takes anywhere from hours to days. Months if the person chose a good one (which is rare). With Dom games Ive usually been more lucky than expert (bad passwords).
Plus Id have to know which file to crack which means you would have the answer needed for a fast restart.

The coming Version will feature a master password that can be set by the host. The master password can be used to access all turns. Still people had better remember their passwords as giving someone the master password on turn 1 wouldn't be the best thing to do. |
