Default Re: Setsumi - LA game, upload pretenders!

I was referring to whatever the current turn is, no rollbacks.

So: Option D: For turns 56-59 non-Ermor players submit a single non-blank .2h file, Ermor plays all turns. (Blank .2h files should be used for all turns so Zeldor can't tell in advance if a player will be staling, or force people to wait until the last 5 minutes to submit turns, etc.)

Option E: Everyone but Ermor stales 56 and 57. Continue as normal with 58.

hmmmm i didn't realize this is possible. If you submit a blank file as a 2H then won't the server reject it as an improper file? People have already submitted turn 56 so will a blank file really cause the server to revert their submitted status to a staled status?

okay i will leave these in since they were suggested, but there is a problem with these. As far as I know there is no way to verify if someone sent a "blank" 2h file. Therefore, options D and E would rely on everyone be willing to cooperate. And there would be no way to verify if anyone actually followed instructions or not.

With A,B, and C there is no such problems. As admin I can implement those with or without anyone's cooperation. So i prefer those options to the ones Micah suggested. But I want to to be democratic instead of despotic so let's vote.
