I also thought I had uploaded my turn, but since none of the things I tried to make that turn was made, my conclusion was that I must had uploaded a wron (older) turn file.

If you have your ministers on it is a completely diferent problem; the politics minister answers Messages before you play.

When I check the History page on the PBW site for the game, it says I've uploaded!

Well, some things one isn't meant to know, I guess.

The History will show you uploaded, even if you uploaded the wrong turn #, most likely the case here.

I suggest deleting your .PLR file once you've uploaded, and checked PBW has changed your status.

That way, you can't upload a wrong turn # by accident. You might still mess up the downloading, and PLAY the wrong turn, but you're likely to notice some Deja Vu, and realize the problem. Theres also the chance of uploading a turn from the wrong game, but the file names are usually pretty distinct; just double check before you press submit.

Yes, but this still doesn't explain why I can't reply to Messages.

If you uploaded the wrong turn #, then your turn was played by the AI and the AI answers the Messages as they come in, as in first before you open the turn. If an answer has already been given, you cannot send another.

Nah, I can't belive that!
This is a new turn sent out by the PBW server.
No orders are given by any AI BEFORE the turns are sent out.
The AI plays when the server runs the turns IF there hasn't arrived any valid turnfile.

1. No valid turn when turn processes-
AI plays-
Execute turns!
2. Send out turnfiles.
3 go to one.

Right?

Not:
1. No valid turn when turns processes-
AI plays.
Execute turns
AI plays
2. Send out turns.
3 Go to one.
