Okay, my current preference is that we keep going on this game -- Panther and Tauren and Turin having missed one turn -- and I turn off forced-hosting.

And I fix the e-mail notification.

I'll go turn off forced hosting.

It looks like everything is working out for me with my new system. I did my move, the turn hosted, and I then did my next move.

E-mail notification is still broken. I'll work on that.

I think I fixed e-mail notification.

I have now fixed all three of the "problems with TCP/IP games" that we discussed earlier. If anybody has any other suggestions about how to improve the serving of this game I'd like to hear it.

Regards,

Zooko the Hosto

I see that Panther has been overtaken in the Hall of Fame by that upstart Peneios.

Now if I only knew whether either of them were my enemies then I would know whether to worry about a sudden strike by a super powerful Pretender...

Wait a minute. I understand the halting now. I understand we're waiting for Panther to get his computer up and running, that's fine.

However, once his computer is working... why no clock?

It was as per Panther's request.

Now that you've expressed concern -- I was a bit concerned about it too -- I'm going to set it back to 48 quickhost, but if someone notifies me via e-mail or via a post to this list that something has come up and neither they nor their partner can make moves then I'll stop the clock for them.

I thought of another reason I dislike TCP. It's too easy to accidently upload your turn before you're ready.

Ioticus: that's a good point.

It's a reasonable Wishlist Item For Dom3 to "uncommit" your move.
