New & raw web based Dominion II game server

To let you know, the NewbieTest game (port 2303) isn't hosting at the correct times anymore (was at 24h) and one of the players isn't playing anymore. So it's been at turn 3 for a few weeks now. Might want to just scrap it to free up space, I dunno.

Also the ones that're on 2305 and 2306 are listed as in progress, but if you connect it shows a small selection of nations and they're all listed Open. I selected vanheim for the 2306 game but it's not one of the nations that's listed (I'm quite sure there were about double the number of nations selected Last time I connected to it).

You might want to restart the host with a "process at midnight"

a kludgy work-around for missing players (if you didnt put in a master password) is to copy a turned-in file to the players name. It wont work for just any old file. If Man seems to be missing and Ctis has done their turn then copy Ctis.2h to Man.2h in the same directory.

This is good for when the player has actually been beaten but hasnt returned that Last file to the host to let the host know that they got that "you've been beaten" message. Im thinking that the host should maybe be rewritten to skip that.

The Urgaia game on 2301 has been static for about a week and could probably be killed, too.

The port 2305 game is running just fine, though. Breschau stated that "Also the ones that're on 2305 and 2306 are listed as in progress, but if you connect it shows a small selection of nations and they're all listed Open." but I think that might be because he did not load a Pretender for the 2305 game.

As Marignon, it takes me directly to the passoword screen.

I don't think I loaded a pretender for both of those, but I definitely loaded one for one of them. I just don't recall which one

The Apocalypse game is pretty full and has been listed as open for a while.

If the person who set it up reads this, could you post when you expect to start it?

I'm curious about that myself, as uploaded a pretender for it... and am anxious to try out this whole MP thing.

Is there a thread somewhere dedicated to this game for the players to comment on?

I think the webserver is great. Though it would be really sweet if there was some way to make comments or something that are linked to the games... kind of integrate the ease of starting an MP game and finding new players with a bit of communication. I don't really know if that is feasible though.

I'm wondering if they expected it to start when the timer ran out, not realising that that doesn't work just now.
