DOMII PBEM game update

King Lear · #1 November 14th, 2003, 10:08 PM

I have noticed that the battle results have been different then what was said. For example, C'tis should not have gotten those wonderful elephants, for, they were all dead. Oh well.

On a different note, i'm leaving in about an hour for a short weekend excursion. I'll get back sunday night, Texas time, but i don't think i'll have access to the game until then. Sorry for all the inconvinience this may cause.

much apologies to anyone playing the game - my phone line is busted, and therefore my connection to all things internet (I'm writing this from work) - so I haven't played my turn and won't be able to for maybe a couple more days. If you aren't willing to wait on me it's ok - just switch me to computer-controlled (if that's still an option).

once again sorry and I'll hopefully get the problem fixed very soon.

We have a lot of options. Someone could take over your spot, we can flip you to computer controlled, or I could just force-host for a turn (or two, depending on how fast people go) - unless you're in the middle of a war it wouldn't be a complete disaster, I guess, and you'd have lots of money when you came back.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I have force-hosted a turn.

I will force-host again on Sunday, so hopefully you get a chance to go Online before I do. I don't see any way for me to switch you to comp. controlled from the console.

Starting Monday I'll put it on a schedule; let's say hosting Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (with Sat. off).

further update for trebuchet and anyone else playing - I am still unconnected, except for emergency use - and will be until friday this week. I am ok with just missing turns if you can't switch me to computer-controlled. honestly I don't know what else to do. If i just miss my turns, perhaps people would be gracious enough to not destroy me utterly while I can't fight back

I am really sorry about this whole business - sorry guys!

Welcome back, Patrik.

Just an update, we lost connectivity here for an hour or two at some point, so apologies if anyone got cut off in mid-turn. It should be up now, however. (And if you did get cut off mid turn, it will upload your turn when you log in again).
