Guys, I am playing Ulm, and I can assure you that
the Queen is still alive. It is still only turn
one, you know?

As for Man/Vanheim, I am pretty sure I know what
happened. 'The *****' is what my girlfriend uses,
and Man/Vanheim is what she usually plays.
She has not played on Mose before. She must have
signed for both slots. Please wait for a few
hours before you boot her, I'll ask her which
one she wants to keep.

... *sigh* Getting her to try Dominions was not
easy. But I am really getting frustrated since
she started trying to play on-line.

Mose has done an incredible job (for free) to
ease the pain, but maybe something official should
be done? While waiting on that, would it be
possible to make it so that a played who remains
annonymous can be kicked out by anyone? I.e. if
one wants to give up the slot, change the
pretender, one could do it?

Maybe it would be better to restart the game so we can all pick our slots again. She can chose to be either Man or Vanheim (I figured it could be such a mistake, that's why I pointed it out).

Didn't mean to accuse you for using forbidden pretender, its just that user for Ulm is Peter and I don't recall any Peter on forums so I thought he could have joined the game without noticing the rule and selecting BF and VQ. Glad to be wrong about that.

I have also forgotten to put a password on my pretender so it would be nice if I could upload it again.
Btw. this is one reason why we should be able to overwrite our own pretenders (as mentioned in a discussion on Mosehansen thread).

1. Master password will not work before the next patch. It should really be removed from the game creating screen, but I'm too lazy.

2. Anonymous players can and should be kicked before game start. The one to do this is the game creator, and the time is when he removes the "Disallow clients to start the game" checkbox. It cannot be everybody because kicking means restarting the program on my server, and I don't want this to run rampant.

3. While I'm usually opposed to restarting games for any reason, I'm ennough of a romantic to agree the reasons below However, if it's just a matter of choosing between two nations, the other could just be set as a computer player.

4. You cannot kick anyone by any means except by knowing their real password. The kicking feature on the server only works as long as the game has not started. If you want to know why, ask Illwinter, though I can guess, and so can you

Lots of sunshine to everyone and so forth...

Since Man was staling I turned it AI.
I assumed that if someone had to choose beetween Man and Vanheim, and seen that Van has took his turn and Man not, I passed to action.

If I'm not mistaken, game rules were to use only 10 Magic point or immobile pretenders, right?

Is someone breaking those rules?
