Turn 16 sent.
Abysia and Man have missing turns. Folks, are you with us?

Goblyn? I did send you my turn. Check the mail in which I said "here's the final version of the 2h file!".

Could you please rehost? ><

I have your turn, but how can I re-host? I don't have a backup of the last turn. I'm sorry, i'm getting it mixed up terribly. If I have just the past turns you sent me can I move the game back somehow?

Good question. What are the files the game needs to host, the .trn, the .2h, and the ftherland? You have the 2hs and the trns in your inbox/outbox respectively, so it's the ftherland that's the problem.

I cannot stress what a huge disadvantage staling that turn has put me at -- so does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT - Can we try just using the old 2h and .trn files, plus the new ftherland? I'm not sure the ftherland file changes from turn to turn, so it's worth a try.

I'll try to right now. If it won't work, we have to somehow make it fair for you, ME.

Using the old .2h files seems to do nothing.
This might be a stupid idea, but what if I'd host the current turn with only you moving? So that way everyone would lose a single move.

Did you use the old trn files as well, though? I think you might have to use them and the 2h files together.

The problem with that is that my losses were much, much worse than I could recover in a single turn. (I would have taken some losses anyway - but as it is, I'm almost out of the game.)

Well... Man being attacked cannot just miss the turn. Graphs now just show his army is gone. Maybe ask some veterans if any chance to rehost?

What i'm doing now is putting both .trn and .2h files for turn 15 into the directory. It shows all of you as having turn 15, but as you didn't make any moves.

Hm. Does that mean all of us would stale turn 15, but then turn 16 would go on without a problem?

EDIT - Although, if all our 2h files are in the folder, I don't see why the game wouldn't recognise our moves.
