Sorry but im still not able to connect

[jeffr]

I also can't connect.

It looks like my IP address is different now for some reason, that was the problem.

My ip: 97 dot 81 dot 86 dot 245
Port: 2000

Try that, it should work.

"The recent scale-loss bug" That doesn't affect every game, does it? I thought it was an intermittent problem. If you took order-3, you should have it, right?

[IndyPendant]

No. The old scale-loss bug was intermittent. The recent patch fixed it--and introduced a new one: now, a province's scales change depending on its neighbours' scales, regardless of dominion. So if you have Order-3 and Growth-3, but your opponent has Turmoil-3 and Death-1 for example, and he owns some of your province's neighbours, you can kiss your good scales goodbye.

Still, I...think...KO has recently indicated that this is indeed a bug, although he's being annoyingly murky about it, possibly due to ESL. If it is a bug that is going to be fixed soon, then my initial start will be rather severely weakened by a loss of roughly 25% of my wealth--but then a start could be hampered by poor positioning too, for example. If I get my scales back in another patch soon, I'll keep playing. ; )

--Oh, and changing the IP fixed things for me.

Turn #1 has ticked.

[Hetzer]

Next turn...

[CUnknown]

Turn deadline extended. I don't like to see people stale so early.

[AlgaeNymph]

Did the last one playing the previous turn forget to post, because I got a stale.

Is there any way to get e-mail notices for turns?

[CUnknown]

Sure, I would do that.. how do we set up e-mail notices? Does anyone know?

[IndyPendant]

I would talk to Velusion. He seems to be the master of the hosted games. (llamabeast being the master of emailed games. ; )
