Those that have resubmitted...if you havn't moved in the same way, then redo your turn and submit it. Minor things will be missed , but an attack or retreat will unbalance the game and may destroy it if you don't carry out the same turns (besides you may have a different outcome this time with the same turn)

This is on your honor and anybody that feels that they have been screwed because of another player (NOT an event where you didn't get gold or something) needs to go to the forum and lets straighten it out.

If anyone feels that its ok to just do whatever you want....let your opinion be known and why. I think we can all can figure out who stands to benifit the most from not reproducing the turn exactly and deal with it.

Speak up folks and let us know if you submitted it the same...

Haven't seen the turn yet. Something went right, something went wrong. This much I can tell from llamaserver. I will not redo the turn when I get home.

Let me just make sure I understand. If I do nothing, the game will use the last turn I sent in. When I get home I will look at the turn, whistle a tune and wait for the real turn to come in the mail?

A learning experience it will be!

Mine was just a re-send of the same turn, I didn't even open the client, I didn't know the server kept the turns

If we want to resubmit the same turn exactly the same do we have to do anything or just wait for the turn to process?

NINJAED BY STAGGER- i guess i had the same question.

To quote the llamaserver:
Quote:
Read this next bit carefully. I seem to be having difficulties explaining it coherently:

Note that once the game is rolled back, it will appear that the game is waiting for 2h files from all players. However, the 2h files from last time the turn was played will in fact be there, and will be used if the game hosts without them being overwritten. This can be useful; often, a game is rehosted in order for only one or two players to retake their turns, while everyone else is expected to make no changes. The game admin can therefore wait till just those players have submitted, and then force hosting. None of the other players will stale (assuming they actually submitted a 2h file last time the turn was played).

I hope all that makes sense!
I've seen it work. There is no need to resubmit a turn. It will use the same 2h file you sent it before.

If you HAVE already sent in a turn that you need to redo to duplicate the original, the easiest thing to do is just pull the old .2h file from your Sent Email folder and send the same file again. (Assuming your email client saves copies of sent email.)

Then Y, please just force host right away. Everyone has their turns in right? either from last turn like they were supposed to or a new one for thejeff who missed his turn.

The POINT being tha that those that DID resbmit there turns must make the same moves for it to work.

I for one am not going to open up the file until we either try and force host it OR we decide its undoable.
