My read of the above, is that we should ignore the turn files we received (mine says 29). If we had already played our turn, we should resubmit the 2H file. If we haven't yet played our turns, we should do so, and submit the 2H file. In other words, ignore the new turn that came in.

Yes, that's right.

Hmm, maybe I suffer from an unclear writing style. I will have to work on it.

Well, I tried to send in the last turn file. This is the message I received:

"Hello from the LlamaServer.

I received an e-mail from you, but unfortunately there seems to be a problem with it.

Your 2h file seems to be for a different turn number to the one the game's currently on. The 2h file is for turn 32, while the game is now on turn 33."

Any suggestions Llama? I received two turn files in the mail. Is one of those maybe turn 33, even though it says 29? Did everyone else have this problem?

[llamabeast]

Looking into it...

Okay - I'll be honest, I'm really really confused.

I can see that it sent turn 32 out at some point, and almost all of you had sent in your 2h files for turn 32.

Then, when it went crazy, it sent out its "Turn 29"s, which I _think_ were actually Turn 34s, but I'm not sure as I have no way of checking. This is strange, because it implies that it hosted twice, which makes no sense.

The earliest fatherland file (the one needed to host the game) that I have is Turn 33. This would be fine, since almost everyone took turn 32. The only trouble is that I don't have the .trn files for turn 33, so it may not be possible for you to actually take the turn. So, I would like it if you could check all the e-mails you got, and see if any of them are turn 33 (Early Winter). If they are, please let me know, and that is the turn to take.

I am offically confused, as well. Maybe turn #29 is haunted? Anyway ...

I received two turn files, whose subject lines indicate they are from turn #29. I wasafraid to try to play them on my saved game, which is on turn #32.

To make a long story short, I made a copy of the saved game and downloaded the first emailed turn. It correctly played turn 32 and gave me turn 33 to play, so I think thats the right way to go.

Hope this helps,

Aha! Okay, you have _two_ "Turn 29"s?

Yes, in that case, play the one which is really turn 33, "early winter".

Apologies guys.
