Wait a minute. I understand the halting now. I understand we're waiting for Panther to get his computer up and running, that's fine.

However, once his computer is working... why no clock?

[Zooko]

It was as per Panther's request.

Now that you've expressed concern -- I was a bit concerned about it too -- I'm going to set it back to 48 quickhost, but if someone notifies me via e-mail or via a post to this list that something has come up and neither they nor their partner can make moves then I'll stop the clock for them.

I thought of another reason I dislike TCP. It's too easy to accidently upload your turn before you're ready.

[archaeolept]

you can still reupload, unless you were last, in which case tough

[Zooko]

Ioticus: that's a good point.

It's a reasonable Wishlist Item For Dom3 to "uncommit" your move.

Someone had presumptiously conquered an Independent province that Bwoo the Great of T'ien Ch'i had been intending to Enlighten. That province has now been properly Enlightened.

Dear Red Team and Yellow Team:

To each of your peace-loving nations We, Bwoo and Stavros the Great Ones, extend Our heartfelt greetings and well-wishes.

We observe that while the Divine Will of Heaven and Earth have indicated that Purple Team and Blue Team must be utterly destroyed and eradicated from the land, it is likewise necessary for the Great Order Of Things that Red and Yellow survive and prosper in their appointed places.

Therefore, if there is any aid or intelligence that We can offer to you, our beloved brothers (or sisters as the case may be), please do not hesitate to call upon Us.

Affectionately,

Bwoo and Stavros the Great Ones

Ioticus - The best method for playing TCP/IP is as follows:
1. Connect to the game and select your nation.
2. Immediately exit the network game WITHOUT saving anything. To be safe, I always hit the little box with the 'X' in the upper right corner.
3. Open Dominions from your desktop, load the correct saved game, and play your turn to your heart's content.
4. When you are happy with your turn, go back to the network game and connect again.
5. Your new turn will automatically upload into the server.

This avoids the annoying procedure of accidently ending your network turn without doing anything.

That helps. Thanks.

hmm I seem to be struck by a rather annoying bug. My positive scales order 3 and growth 3 have mysteriously vanished in my capital, despite having lvl 5 dominion there all the time.
I hope they come back sometime, but they have been missing for 3 turns now.
