Huh? Usually the understanding is that you don't have to resubmit a turn on a roll back.

Also, I'm not sure I understand....

Turn 27
Turn 28 Ryall stales, asks for mulligan
Rolled back to 27.
Turn 28? (I never received this!)
Turn 27??

Is this where we are at now?

I'd like to use my muligan, please.

Wow, double mulligan. The anticipation of turn 29 rises even higher.

We are back to turn 28 for a third time. If you staled the 3rd round of turn 27 the llamaserver will automatically use the turn file from a previous submission. So the moves you submitted after the first roll back should be in play.

What I was trying to say before is that you should use the latest file from the turn we rolled back from, not the turn we rolled back to.

If you you are not sure you have the latest turn file, try using the resend turn option.

I'm out of town again Sunday - can we delay hosting till late sunday EST?

chrispedersen · #6 May 3rd, 2009, 02:07 AM

I got a turn in, but I'd still like to ask the indulgence of the delay.

Best.
Chris

Postponed 12 hours for your convenience.

Good job keeping the pace up for 30 turns everyone, it has really been fun

As an aside, what are everyone's thoughts on the mulligan system so far? Does it sway people from springing surprises because they don't want to waste it on a mulligan? It will be interesting to see by game's end how long people horde them for, and what they will be willing to let slide rather than use one up.

Well, I love it. And kudos to AoE again.

I only used it to avoid a stale. But I've seen combat results for other people I really think it enhances a game.

a. It lets newb's learn from a mistake. If a newb sees the tactic and gets a do over - they can learn about the tactic and how to defeat it.

b. Really avoids unlucky events - barbarian walks up and kills your prentender with 216 pts of damage on a single hit.

Mulligans fix luck but not tactics. And it gives you a chance to recover from something you've never seen before.....

Now I just have to persuade people to do it 1/20 turns = ).
