Well, the game is up and running again on my server; switching the wireless channel seems to have cured the problem.

you hosted with my previously submitted turn, now I am doomed! (well not really but its annoying)

Nevertheless I am happy that you will continuing hosting, do you? (Otherwise my friend can host, but his server is quite slow...)

Reverend Zombie · #3 August 26th, 2004, 08:41 PM

Ahh, that is the host that went off this morning, before I was aware we had a problem. I was a few minutes late checking the server, or I would have skipped the host.

I will continue hosting, assuming incidents like this every now and again don't both anyone too much...

Oh hell, does this mean the server's going to host again in 3 hours time? That means I'm going to stale (again - if what you're saying is that the restart effectively forced a stale already).

Chazar · #5 August 27th, 2004, 07:21 AM

I would also recommend to set out hosting whenever the server was unavailable for some time, because it could be just that time window a player had planned to submit his turn. So I would like to set out this hosting, since two players (Ulm & Marignon) are still missing!

(Or we might switch to QuickHost only to prevent such problems at all. I'd rather enjoy a good fight than my enemies staling...)

@Mark the Merciful: Didnt look like you were staling Last turn, since your forces attacked according to my reports. BUT it is indeed hosting within to hours and you have not submitted a turn! Can you reach Reverend Zombie to set out hosting?

Chazar · #6 August 27th, 2004, 07:41 AM

@Mark: I had submitted my turn before I read your post, i.e. I did not take advantage of knowing that you might stale. Nevertheless, a stale turn is certainly a huge disadvantage for you while being involved in battle with me, so I am willing to even out the score:

I could imagine of not moving all my armies concerned with our battle once within the next three or four turns. Would you consider that fair? Its not exactly like a stale, but you could prepare for that on the other hand as well. Any other suggestions?

Reverend Zombie · #7 August 27th, 2004, 08:42 AM

Ulm will not stale, we will skip the host today.

I think Marignon has missed a couple of recent turns lately, not all of which were caused by the recent server outage.

So...I am not sure quickhost is a good idea unless we can verify that Marignon is still with us.
