Okay, I'm putting this and Figment up for substitutes. If I don't get "turn due in six hours" notices, I often stale, and miss out on fun stuff, and get !

*deep breath*

Don't worry, I'm not mad at any of you. Rollbacks would be nice, but I suspect that that's too much to ask.
We have never had "turn due in xx hours" notices in this game, even when Velusion was hosting. There is a status page you can check, if you don't feel like logging in to see how much time is left.

This is the games webdir
http://game.dom3minions.com/games/Fallacy
and this is the games stat file
http://game.dom3minions.com/games/Fallacy/stats.txt

Statistics for game 'Fallacy' turn -1

Ermor played this turn
Pythium played this turn
Man is computer controlled
Agartha played this turn
Caelum played this turn
C'tis didn't play this turn
Pangaea played this turn
Jotunheim didn't play this turn
Atlantis played this turn
R'lyeh played this turn
Eriu played this turn

Man is set to AI. Ctis and Jotunheim say they didnt play this turn. That means that they are still set to active players but didnt send a turn file.

Im asking SHOULD they be turned to AI?
(if they still want to play then thats fine)

Jotunheim should be set to AI. Since C'tis is here now, I would say no, leave C'tis player controlled, as long as he will do his turns. Next time he stales two times in a row he is out.

A rollback? That should likely never happen in a mp game involving several people. Traps have been laid and sprung. And you cannot lay the same trap twice, since a card thrown on the table cannot be picked back up.
Can't argue with that, except facetiously.

As C'tis is Agartha the Benevolent's vassal, it is Helena's choice wether the C'tis chieftain should be beheaded or not. C'tis was loyal throughout the wars, so Helena decided to let him live, but commands him to give his orders in time.

I have no objection to Ctis being given a 2nd chance. But if Ctis stales 2 turns consecutively again, there should be no discussion about it.

Jotunheim has 2 provinces, no capitol or pretender, and it will be ridiculous to look for a sub for a race that will be dead in 2-3 turns.

Actually that can be the best time to look for a sub.
Someone who hasnt tried MP games can get a taste of it without worrying about how well they will show since they can either die off (as expected) or do something surprising.

Please set Jotunheim to ai. there is nothing left for for a sub to play. And While I will bend the rules for Ctis, who has a decent position, I will not for Jotunheim.

But if you want to do their turns for them gandalf, I have no objections. Then you can see for yourself what they have and what they are up against.

OK by me for setting him AI.
Im waiting for a response from Velusian providing the master password.

Well that could be a huge problem!



Let me message Xox and see if we can get him to set himself to AI.
