how about a 24 hour timer for these first turns?

How about you don't stale again in DangerPudding?

[Wokeye]

I like this server business, first time I've played on one.

[Herode]

Ahem, maybe we have a little bug on this turn : I've opened turn 7, checked the situation, cliqued on 'save and quit', #not on 'end of turn'#... but the turn has been hosted anyway. Is there any way to check this and rewind ?

[llamabeast]

Unfortunately that's the way Dom3 works for server games. When you say "Save and quit", it creates a 2h file, then notices it has one and cheerfully uploads it to the server.

The way to get round this is to download the turn, then disconnect and play offline. Only reconnect when you're happy to upload your turn. Obviously this is mildly annoying - it's an irritating bug to my mind.

Yes, it is a known bug. What the game needs to do when somebody is using "Save & quit": Send a disconnect to the server, then save the game locally and drop to the main menu. Instead, it drops back to the server screen again and this makes the client upload his turn file regardless. If you're the last player or don't hand in a new turn, the server hosts.

I assume that everybody should know about this, it is frequently discussed on here. I should do a HowTo for playing Dominions games via Internet since this always comes up, mhh.

[Griefor]

Wow, from the looks of it I'm doing quite horrible. I've got about half as many provinces as the average player.

Ah well, maybe some of the stronger players will decide not to go after me because of it. This is a diplomacy game right?

i'll be happy to accept a tribute...
