MP Game - 6 player Karan Map - ready to restart - Page 3

Hmm...I checked and there have been no games added since i did that, and yet it now says there is no room at the inn. I do not see any way to delete the game either. I'm stumped.

Any suggestions?

Dammit! I know the slot was open for a couple of hours there - maybe I should've just created a stub game until we got this cleared up. Someone must've started a game that had been stopped (my best guess is Throne of Heavens).

First off, I'll post a message in the Throne of Heaven's thread, asking what their status is, and to see if they will be stopped soon (again). If they really do intend to run, then I suggest we send a PM asking Esben if we can get a new game open despite the limit.

I've heard back from Esben, there's nothing he can do to help us.

I did post in the Throne of Heavens thread, but haven't heard any response yet. I imagine they will be stopping their game soon.

Bummer. Thanks for checking that out Thufir. I saw checked the Throne thread, and it does sound like that game is disintigrating. I guess we will just go into standby mode until the situation resolves.

Sorry everyone. Not sure if there was anything i could have done anyway, but it was my first time setting up a game on Mosehansen and i may have missed a trick.

Well, this is clearly my bad. But for future reference, here's how it works: if some dufus (now who's the dufus in our case?

) screws up his upload, or for some other very compelling reason the game owner decides that the game must be re-initialized (and I specifically do *not* mean restarted in the sense of using the restart command on mosehansen), then the game owner can stop the game and immediately recreate a new game on mosehansen, with the same settings as the original.

This means that everyone must reupload their pretenders to the new game, and it's certainly a PITA for all involved. That said, I have done it for others in games that I own. (At least I can say this is the first time that I'm the dufus!)

Ok so is the final word that we are out of a game ?
Can we find someone else to host ? (yeah, I don't know who, I am just anxious to play this one

)

Me too! Personally, I'd be fine w/ playing on any host that's available. Looking at the Throne of Heaven's thread, it's very hard to imagine that that game will continue on, but I don't know how long it will take them to figure that out.

Tyrant, if you're around, I've saved a slot for you, and sent you a PM w/ the details. Whenever you're ready we can do the handoff, and get this game off the ground again.

Tyrant · #29 October 7th, 2004, 04:37 PM

Sent you a PM, but thought i'd post here as well. I'll be around alot today (10/7) just let me know when.
