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?

Well, Arco has Sure Sut the Wyrm so I would say yes.

Just bumping this to make sure everyone involved saw it. Arco is using illegal pretender - the choices are (switching to old DOS option mode)
r) retry (restart game if you want but this time with legal pretenders)
i) ignore (keep playing)
a) abort (stop the game)

You guys make call.

I certainly don't want to abort the game. We have all invested quite a bit of time in it already.

Why don't we see if Esben would be willing to simply park the Wyrm in his capital.

Or perhaps pay some sort of reperation to everyone?

Another option would be to set him to AI. Although that doesn't sound very fun, and wouldn't necassarly be fair to his neighbors (of which I am one).

I'm playing Caelium just to be clear.
