Hi,

Anyway, I have a silly QUESTION!!

A friend created a game on mosehansen's server and does not know how to actually _START_ the game. Can someone let me know?

Thank you!!
John

Btw, I'm JJ. I didn't start the "faster game" game. I just joined as Ermor then decided to drop out before it started so I set myself back to Anonymous and someone booted me, which is perfect. I just want to clear up that I am _not_ "Norfl**t". :-)

I think that Schmork is Ben, who I have played w/ in a PBEM game is also not "Norfl**t".

Not silly at all - this one had me thrown for a while too. You need to update the game parameters so clients are allowed to Start Game. Then connect with Dominions and start it.

Esben, one of the games on mosehansen (Cradle of Uncivilization) has gone into a stopped status 4 times in 5 days ( I restart it, but then sometimes see staled turns, even though the turn is in when I recheck after restarting).

Any idea what's happening, or if I should just let the game die a painful death? Thanks.

Make that five times in a stopped status, and a bump of the thread.

Re: Cradle of Uncivilization
The server just says "Something went wrong" and quits. Some internal state has probably been corrupted, but who knows?

Thanks Esben - guess there's an open slot on your server then.

Esben one of the games at your server (Faerun folly) seems to have a problem.
When I connect it crashes my system, other players reported the same.
Could you please see what is going on?

Thanks

Mose is unlikely to to be able to diagnose this, as it's probably a client-side problem unless everyone is getting it.

How many people are affected (I'm not, BTW)? Does it happen with every connection, or just intermittently?

Faerun Folly

I've just restarted the game, because it had started to hang on the "Waiting for game info" box. Restarting seems to have cleared the problem, but Ermor (Catquiet) and Pangaea (djtool) will have to upload their orders again (restarting clears any orders received for the current turn).
