It took a l o n g time but I was able to get on and set my game (Duplicity) to Last player upload. And we had just reached the point where all the players were functioning and we could get some turns in...

Just visited PBW site and it was normal speed March 9 at 2:46 PM EST. If you need to take admin action now would be a good time to do it.

Ya, it seems to be up, but I hadn't gotten the Last turn which I had replied to by email. So, I uploaded my Last turn again, got the turn back and... something really weird happened. Although the game is set not to go to AI control, it looks like two turns happened in the log report, one of which seems done by the AI.

Maybe it had run my emailed turn but not sent me the next turn, and then it accepted my plr file even though it was for the wrong turn... or something? Bizarre stuff that I've not seen before.

Ok, the site does seem to be communicating better at the moment. I was able to get in and turn the auto procesing back off so if your turn has not run yet it should not unless all the players upload, or if the game owner manually kicks it off. That should eliminate further game issues until we can work out what exactly is happening.

Ok, my opponent says he didn't have problems, so apparently what happened to me was:

I didn't get the latest turn in email during the "down time", so I sent my turn once in email and then uploaded it again for the next turn, resulting in the game running using the wrong plr file for me, with screwy results. Moral - if you're not certain what turn it is, load the current turn from PBW to make sure you send it the right plr file.

Good advice. Nine times out of ten that I have checked out games where the AI played a turn for somebody, it has been that they uploaded a previous turn for one reason or another.

Just do a little dance (smoke a little bud haha like th AIM icon) and then you log on and it might work, it is working now so i think it could be an intermittent thing, the dance is important.

Long Live PBW (how do you say that in latin?)
