Ok, hosting seems to be postponed. It looks like we have time to resolve some severe problems that appeared and continue without more delays.

I'm back now and looking at the queue of requests...

It appears that llamabeast paused the game at someone's request. So that should solve the pause requests.

There has been another request made about a bug which has impacted one player's game. It may require some tricks to resolve it or, as a last resort, a rollback. Tho personally I very much dislike rollbacks and would prefer to just continue. I will let you know how it goes.

Arghhh! No rollbacks!

Especially in a game of this size, with teams. Whatever it is, it isn't a bug it's a feature.

Yeah, we should try to avoid any rollbacks, everyone knows they are evil.

Quick! Modify the specification at the root of the thread to specify no-rollbacks.

My partner quit after playing 2 or 3 turns of the possible 12. I'm trying hard, but so far havent found a replacement. If u know anyone who might be interested please inform me or get him to PM me.

I strongly do not intend to play any more turns with my expartner's team.

thanks

Two out of three of the teams having player problems are more or less fixed. But one is still having trouble. To that end I am forced to postpone for 24hrs while I consult with Llamabeast again.

I apologize for the delay guys - but the truth is that I have NO WAY of knowing which nation is which in the email change list. So if those nations need to be changed I must rely on llama, who has a busy schedule.

All hail Llamabeast, master of the server!

Llama has fixed Prepo so that I can now properly set players emails without playing a guessing game. So we shouldnt need to bother him any more. All remaining player issues have been resolved, for better or worse. Game should be proceeding smoothly now.

That said - I am going away for the weekend again. Hopefully no one has a freak out like last time? Just in case, I have given Sheap the password to the admin page. If its an emergency, you'll need to get in touch with him. But please be responsible - Sheap was very generous to watch the game at all so make every effort to get your turns in on time and handle problems on your own.
