I apologize. I was told it wouldnt do that. Im not sure what might have caused it so I will gladly remove one or the other option as people wish.

Gandalf,

There is no need to apologize. This is my first MP experience, and I am having a wonderful time. I don't really expect to win or even Last long, truth be told...but who knows?

It's a wonderful experience, and I think all of us understand that it's your first time to host a MP game. We appreciate your willingness to host for us.

You are way ahead of me if you can figure out how to make it stop hosting after everyone does their turns.

I vote for midnight autohost only. These constant stale turns are a pain.

OK looks like a majority is in, or the fact that the GameMaster said to (I didnt notice that sooner). Changing it now.

Did enough folks take stale turns Last night or this morning that those of us who have only one stale turn should skip a turn?

I have had three stale turns.
one of them was today.
I check the game twice a day, morning and evening (GMT+2).
Truth is, it's quite frustrating to have this kind of start.
I am seriously considering giving up my position to the AI. Well, unless those stale turns also happen to the rest of the players. then we're all on even ground.

cheers, iz.

Well your on equal ground with me.

aldin · #**119** January 7th, 2004, 11:13 PM

I've had two, one self-inflicted, one Last night. I'm willing to take another if that's necessary.

It seems strange that you get hosts every now and then. I havn't had this kind of problem ever.

After having created a game this should be a perfectly fine commandline:

./dom2 -TS --port 1111 -t 0 22 -t 2 22 -t 4 22 -qsm testgame

It starts a dominions server (-S)
text only (-T)
portnbr 1111 (--port 1111)
hosting is sunday at ten (-t 0 22)
hosting is tuesday at ten (-t 2 22)
hosting is thursday at ten (-t 4 22)
it hosts upon arrival of all turns (-q)
no sound (-s)
no music (-m)
the game name is testgame

If the turns are recieved before turn the time host it skips the next time host if within 24 hours.

We have never come across this problem with this command line. In the rare cases when the server is restarted a problem might arise if the host time is only a few hours away.
