Sorry, but another newb question - What do you mean by serial violation?

Septimius Severus · #**1172** January 28th, 2010, 02:54 PM

Stagger, I'm tempted to answer the above question but I am sure Gandalf can probably give you a more detailed answer.

Game note:

The poll on the new hosting interval is now closed.

The results were 5 to 2 in favor of remaining at a 56 hour host for the next 10 turns.

Thanks to those who participated.

To anyone who is interested - Easy-Slay(TM) is so popular that our service is overbooked!

As a despicable treaty-breaker, Septimius has earned preferred customer status; we will be accomodating his slaughter requests first if at all possible. Customers already in line for service will still be butchered, however we have a host of valuable coupons and incentives available to any of our other valuable customers who will accept being moved to a later butchering. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but would like to remind you that we need to drive our hands in all the way up to the elbow, or the terrorists will have won.

Thank you (yes, all of you) for choosing Easy-Slay(TM)!

Where is the honor, courage, and valor in attacking teams who have no real chance of fighting back? Where is the sport in that? Sure it is the easier route, but it does not win you points in my book.

Rememberance of the "Days of Infamy" (sounds like a nice name for a game title

) and the score graphs were probably the reason for the Mysterios actions.

If the Mysterios truly remembered the days of infamy (known to the Devas as Customer Appreciation Week), I would think they'd let sleeping giants lie

Besides, seeing as how we are under attack by every other team, I don't think there is much cause to complain about a counterattack. It is the Mysterio's own unprovoked aggression that will bring about their ultimate doom. Prepare yourselves Mysterios, the Devas are coming. And this time we are serious.

I probably should not have said "violation".
We had 8 player files where the serial number matched those of another player file. Meaning that the same copy of Dominions made the file. 8 files had 3 numbers between them.

It's 12 -vs- 4. That sounds sporting to me.

Yes, I think I saw those melquarts running away from Pranda (109) last turn.

Game/sever note:

Gandalf tells me he is working on trying to get the accuracy issues worked out as far the displayed time remaining on the .cgi page. Assuming forced hosting is still on, the next turn is scheduled to host on:

Fri Jan 29 23:09:20 PST 2010

As of the posting of this message this means you've less than 24 hours to get your turns in. Please don't delay and I warn you against waiting till the last few seconds to get your turn in until this issue can be resolved.

You can check the old .cgi page here at this link for right now, which seems accurate:

http://www.dom3minions.com/~nav/bin/old_nav_chk.cgi

We could switch to forced host off/quick host only, but that is obviously not a viable long term solution. Anyone who can help Gandalf with his server math issues, contact him. In the meantime, I am asking that he restore the old turns received page or at least display the next hosting date and time if it can be done so accurately.
