Global War (upgraded to 3.20)

eh, that's if it thinks you are playing two nations... did you look at another good player (which is fine) but accidentally save a turn? that's the only thing i can think of.

edit: or, conversely, if someone else accidentally submitted a turn for you, as well as their own nation.

how this mechanic works exactly is not fully understood

[LoloMo]

Nope, I have no access to the other good nations. I guess another nation should have this error message too?

[archaeolept]

one would think... but like i said, the mechanics are not fully understood.

i've gotten it by changing a nation to AI in the game, which I also was a player in. Other people swear that that doesn't happen...

probably won't happen again, but who knows?

AFAIK you can play for 2 nations from same cd-key as long as you use the same computer and OS. Problems occur with different computers [and maybe even starting a turn on one PC and finishing on another]. There was a thread about it. Have you tried saving turn again and submitting it again?

[archaeolept]

no, this would be a message upon commencement of the turn; basically saying you didn't get to take one.

and when i got the message, both my nation and the nation i was setting ai were played from the same pc...

like i said, the mechanism is not well understood

I also had that problem about 15 turns ago because I had started a turn on one computer and finished on another.

Now I just got a stale turn for my plane being toooo late

Is timer back on 24h hosting?
Because I wont be able to keep pace as I'm still on holidays...
One stale turn is bad (and this particular one more than anyone can know) at this stage but two or more... erf

i think it's on 48 hr turns. i'm fine w/ 72 hr turns as far as that goes.
