I think Llamaserver keeps a copy of all the .2h files that were sent in. So all we'd have to do is a manual rollback then a manual force host.

Who's the admin for this game again?

GrudgeBringer · #2 May 27th, 2009, 02:38 PM

Torin is admin but he doesn't check the forums much or his PM's so I email him. You might want to do that or I am going to raise all kinds of H@ll if I have to stale.

I really am trying to pack, work and get this dang turn in all at once!!!

This game is driving me crazy...

BTW PM me and let me know what is happenong in your part of the worldas it will affect my next turn.

Drop me a PM with Torin's email if you don't have time to drop him a line.

I'm sure I'm the one that caused the failure since I'm the one that staled even though I submitted a turn file. (I've got a confirmation e-mail from llamaserver to show for it.) If you roll back and force hosting before I have a chance to redo my turn, the game will fail again.

Everyone staled 'cause Llamaserver unloaded the turns and tried again with blanks after the game crashed. I kinda think it may be my fault, after getting errors in an SP game i realized that i had downloaded the "b" version of the last patch but never installed it, so i did so. I did do the turn over from the start after i updated, but maybe i should have re-downloaded it entirely. I've had a couple glitchy things happen this game before this- the prophet thing i mentioned earlier and two cases of false video tape in minor battles with Sauro. Perhaps these are due to my failure to patch properly, or perhaps there's something else entirely going on.

In any case i'm for holding up for as long as it takes to get this straightened out and make sure GB gets a chance to get his turn in. Possibly someone else who's a little more active on the forum could take over as admin?

@Grudgebringer - the Horror Harmonica attack was very amusing

@Big- Zoiks! That is a ferocious onslaught, I think I may be toast.

Then we could roll back, then you could try submitting your turn again, and then force host.

It's worth a shot. I don't care much for everyone staling a turn.

Paging Torin!

Go back in this thread to where Torin has been on. You either Right Click or left click ( I forget) on the part that says 'Online' or 'Not Online'.

Hit view public profile and it will have "send a privite mwssage and in some it will also have send an E-mail" (Depends on how you set it up), Just click on that (Mine is set up the same way...it doesn't give you the E-mail address...just sends one with yours to respond).

Send him a PM AND an E-mail AND put it in the forum to back yourself up if je doesn't see it or respond.

He doesn't say much....just "OK" in the few instances I have contacted him.

iF we get it done fairly soon I will start working on my turn and will stay up until I can get it done but I will need a EXTENSION on the NEXT turn till Tuesday (though if he sets it on quickhost there is a chance we won't make the finals and I may be back a little earlier and can keep us on schedule).

If NOT then I WII just need an extension till Tuesday on this turn...there is just no way around it as I told everyone earlier.

ALSO, PM me with your Info, plans what ever... PLEASE.

Hope this helps ...let me know what we are doing.

GrudgeBringer · #8 May 27th, 2009, 09:37 PM

Ok to make this clear to evryone.

I have Pm'd Torin and explained the situation.

I am leaving town Tommorow morning at 6 am CST USA time and will be back Monday evening.

I had asked that the NEXT turn (58) have an extension to Tuesday with it still set on quick host in case we don't make the finals.

With this screwup we have 2 options...everyone gets a stale or we ALL redo turn (57) and HOPE (according to Lama) that it works.

If we are going to redo the turn anyway what difference does a stale make IF we all have it.

Regardless, At this point I am requesting (and have told Torin) that I will need an extension until Tuesday. I MAY have limited access to a comp and could get my turn in on time.

But I need the Extension just the same in case.

What bothers me right now is that only Bigdisawesome and myself have either noticed this or have a comment.

Also I will need turn 57 sent to me as I have deleted it once I got a received message to save space on my E-mail list.

Sorry guys, I am stressed trying to get eveything done so I can get a little sleep and be ready to play tomorrow.

Doesn't really matter too much to me weather we roll back or run with it. Sounds like we're gonna have an all weekend pause anyway so we'll have plenty of time to discuss it.

GrudgeBringer · #10 May 27th, 2009, 11:18 PM

What I need is the discussion to get discussed so I know what I need to do IF I can access a computer.

Otherwise I will be back and have about 12 hours to do my turn WHATEVER we do....

This game is one of the best I have played and I want it to comtinue.

It just seems at this stage of the game any thing that gord wrong has a BIG imppact on the turns and what you scripted.

I just was lobbying for us to continue with the stale as if everyone staled there was a 'No harm No foul' to it.

That was until I loaded the game and saw the things that had happened because it DID stale.

Sigh...I guess I don't really care, lets just do something.
