Tir na n'Og is here, and pissed because of rollback. If someone would just be kind enough to tell me if there's the possibility of having my previous 39th turn 2h file being stored in llamaserver so I can pretty much wait out this turn or do I have to resubmit something close to what I originally did back in 39?

Duke,

It says this on the previous page - looks like it just uses your old turn.

Quote:
Read this next bit carefully. I seem to be having difficulties explaining it coherently:

Note that once the game is rolled back, it will appear that the game is waiting for 2h files from all players. However, the 2h files from last time the turn was played will in fact be there, and will be used if the game hosts without them being overwritten. This can be useful; often, a game is rehosted in order for only one or two players to retake their turns, while everyone else is expected to make no changes. The game admin can therefore wait till just those players have submitted, and then force hosting. None of the other players will stale (assuming they actually submitted a 2h file last time the turn was played).

I hope all that makes sense!

I have been assured that the llamaserver does keep the old 2h files and will use them after a rollback. It just doesn't display them on the webpage.
So you should be able to just wait this out.

Most people had a copy of the 2h and re-sent it just to be sure.

If Arco sent in their turn, can we force host? That should eliminate some confusion and get the game caught up to speed.

But that leads to the Oceania problem. It appears that Daka is just done with this game completely which means that Oceania will stall until a sub is found. Should the game be halted until we find a sub?

For the record, I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to get Daka to remain (give him the province and the gear he got from his victorious fight if he loses inthe rollback). Of the replacement players, both will be the biggest countries surrounding me which is frustrating to have change relationships immediately.

The Oceania situation is currently the hold-up. Otherwise I'd force host it now.

I'm tempted to host this turn anyway using his old turn. hoo used the same 2h file and if I hear the same from Ossa, I don't see any reason not to proceed. Then Daka can keep playing or get a sub as he sees fit.

ok just let me look over all this when i get home later. Im not saying ill quit because im a brat. if you were in my position youd prob understand the frustration it caused me. its just a simple question of how much fun the game would be after that (not to mention that i really do suffer from slight OCD heh :P)

anyways i dont want to make this harder for you guys im sure your not very happy either

do whatever you want. im not changing my turn simply due to time constraints (and hope my two enemy's are honorable) . ill see how the turn folds out and decide whether it pisses me off enough or not.

one problem is that i got alooooot of gear from hoo and chances are its not going to happen again but at the same time i dont want thim to suffer due to this (btw hoo the animosity in game is only in-game.. its just role play ... im playing a bastard pretender right now which is part of why im not in a much better position after my crazy initial expansion ^^ lol )

All right. I'm going to host this thing then.

Fingers crossed. Hope it works out for everyone.
