Dolphin - EA game - restarted

[Ubercat]

Sigh... About an hour after the latest restart I designed a new and improved extra kickass Mictlan pretender build. If we have to restart yet again, DON'T do it before I resubmit my pretender!

Hey llamabeast, thanks for the hosting and most excellent scripting. If you are looking for improvements to put in I was thinking it'd be nice if the server sent you a notice if it rejected your turn for some reason. I'm playing two games on your server and I accidentally sent the wrong 2h file (grabbed it from the other game's directory)...didn't notice anything until I got the notice that I was about to stale.

I always get an Email from the server when I mix my turns up.

Thanks Baalz, I am indeed always looking for any suggestions people have for improvements. As Ubercat says though, the server does normally reply if there is any problem - the idea is that it will always respond whenever it receives an e-mail, with an appropriate message.

This leads to some silly situations actually. It now gets a fair bit of spam (not an issue as it reads it for me). It replies to the spam saying it couldn't find a 2h file. Often the spammer's address isn't a real address, so the mail server then writes back to say that the message was undeliverable. The llamaserver writes back to this message saying it couldn't find a 2h file. Happily it stops there because the mail server is too clever to write back again.

llamabeast, I've just got bit by this again and the server definitely didn't send me a notice. The problem is I'm in two games on your server, and I seem prone to accidentally send the wrong game's .2h file back when I'm attaching it to the email (they both seem to host around the same time, so I'm usually taking both turns close together). I just staled on the Allegiance game because I took my turn, then sent in the .2h file for this game which didn't do anything at all. Anyway, like I said, no biggie (it's my own stupid fault) but if you're looking for something to add then that safety net would be helpful for me. It would just check that the .2h file name matched the nation listed in the subject line. If it's already supposed to be sending me a message then there's some bug here.

Ouch, I almost feel bad about ganking Yomi's dragon like that.

I have done the same thing a Baalz more than once and have always got an e-mail back from the llamaserver saying there was a problem.

I have had mail from the llamaserver being classed as spam by my overactive spam filter - its fixed now but it did make life interesting there for a while.

So where is C'tis? Are you there? I wanted to send an ingame message but couldnt find you on the list. Don't see you on the llamaserver either?

Check the pretenders of the world screen, he (it?) went AI.

Set myself to AI after being pounded to death by ryleth they are pretty damn powerful underwater and i suppose it was just unfortunate that we both started so close together
