MP Game - European War

[Cainehill]

Looking at the time stamps on our Messages here, I suspect that I got connected in a short time window (about 1/2 hour) where I got the original .trn file, and uploaded my .2h based on the original .trn file.

Didn't notice the post saying the game had been restarted with a different .map file, which meant that I needed to wipe _my_ directory and do things over, so in a sense it's my own fault, albeit I was looking for new Messages posted after mine.

This is a good reason for renaming the game, and thus the game directory, in cases like this where you're restarting the game and not just the server. Otherwise you need to make sure everyone knows that they need to delete the directory on their machine to avoid problems.

Apparently I as well, was given the "HAND OF WRATH" starting stale. The great void has said that to even the playing field, the wild groves of Pangaea must wait a season to begin their ultimately victorious conquest.

I'm okay with mine, though I don't know if anyone else is.

Right, keeping the same name causes the stale problem. I'm pretty sure I have posted a warning about that yesterday, right after Graeme has announced restart. But I don't see my post now. Conspiracy! Unless I've posted it to some other thread (or to some other board) by mistake

It's normal to start with 1 province only in the middle of mine and someone else capitol?

[Cainehill]

It's not incredibly common, but I've had it happen to me two or three times. Can I just say - I hope I'm your neighbor?

It seems to me that if several people (myself not among them) had stale turns through no fault of their own, then we should probably restart.

New Turn.

I take it then that none of the affected players feel the need to restart? Fine by me. But it sure is gonna be extra embarassing when they kick our cans...
