After everyone voted, the midnight thing kindof fell off. I cant come up with anything simple for switching from quick to midnight without a chance of more stales.
So its still in quick mode and will process as soon as... [checking]... Pythium does a turn

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
Can anyone tell me if Pythium's taken the turn yet?

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
I would be fine with starting over and trying the newer settings that will force it to host at midnight if someone doesn't move in 24 hrs. I think the main reason Gandalf isn't just making it host at midnight his time is the possibility of stale turns.
I've been checking this game once a day to see if Pythium has moved, but I just resolved to stop doing that.

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
Hosting just once a day is probably the simplest solution. Anyway, more than 1 turn per day wasn't working.

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
wow Im sorry. got involved in the DomMap thing, and a job interview. Time flew. SOmeone should have prodded me.
OK Im guessing that making the change should only stale Pythium if anyone so I switched it. I will try again for the combo of having both quick and midnight set since Kristoffer says that should work. Its supposed to operate as quick IF all turns are in OR midnight if there hasnt been a quick since Last midnight.
on the side, the --postexec thing is fun to play with on game hosting. I had it text messaging my cel to tell me to take my turn  but thats too much. Ive had it write data to a web file. (wish Dom2 would export game info like the score charts). Now I just have it send me an email.
