All The Nations (new game)

Zapmeister · #1 April 11th, 2004, 12:16 AM

OK, this isn't working. As suggested, I'll abandon this game and start again, with the name "Crowded_Land". There's 15 games on the server, though, so I hope there's room. Also, there appears to be no way to delete the old the game ("Stop the game" still doesn't work).

If the game gets created, I'll start a new thread under the new name.

Edit: Nope, there's a 15 game limit. We have to wait until All_The_Nations gets fixed, or something gets deleted. That means getting Mose's attention, I think.

See if you can't Mose to enable renaming as well, now that a command line switch exists to enable it trivially: --renaming.

May as well make it default: There's no sane reason why anyone would wish to disable it in favor of the existing repeating names loop.

The game has started responding again. I still have no idea what happened. 24 hours to get your orders in, everyone !!

EDIT: BTW, the report saying some people have taken their turns was spurious. No-one has played except me, at the time of writing.

Game's responding, but ... Vanheim is demanding a password, which I haven't been using / setting. Guess there was a reason it said Vanheim had taken its turn.

Hmm, still 8 players outstanding. I fear that during the delay getting started, some folks have wandered off. In the event that more than a couple of nations stale the first turn, what should we do ?

Reply here with the maximum number of stales you would tolerate before voting for a restart. For me, it's 2.

As one of the stale turn players, I'd vote happily for a restart whenever - I can't take my turns, because (near as I can tell) someone uploaded a pretender over the top of mine, with a password.

Well I just took my turn and it's still Turn 1 with 9 hours to go. Nobody has gotten a stale turn as far as I can see.

I was surprised to see that the game got started somehow, and I assume the other 6 people who haven't gone yet aren't aware yet.
