MP Game - Faerun Folly

Note that it's OK to gazump an anonymous position, but not an identified one. Compare the MD5 value to the one you had when you joined to see if you've been gazumped.

I thought that Esben had changed things so that you couldn't overwrite someone else's pretender, because his server restores the original one. You have to kick anonymous players in order for someone to overwrite / update a nation's pretender, or to allow someone to take those positions that the people have decided not to play.

Edit: Just verified this by uploading a new Ulm, since that player bowed out. The md5 doesn't change, because the server is keeping the original pretender.

Oh, OK. Is it possible to kick anonymous players while keeping the game open for pretender uploads?

Yeh - you kick anonymous, and it's supposed to restart the game. If need be, you kick anonymous, check the game to ensure the anons were booted, and manually restart the game.

Ulm and Caelum are available again.
We need one more to start - I'll give it another 24 hours and start with 14 if no-one shows up.

We have 15 players - Atlantis and Ulm are still available. The game will start approximately 18 hours from now.
