RAND2 - full, everyone send me an email - Page 6

One pretender file got messed up - probably my fault. The game is down (again! I am sorry! I am sorry!) but hopefully I will be able to fix the problem and restart the game. People will have to re-play their first turns, but that's not too painful I think. Thanks again to everyone for incredible patience. This has been very educational for me (and in the future, things will go much more smoothly).

Cheers!

Thank you, Ygorl, for your efforts. I am sure everything will be great after the kinks are ironed out.

Ygorl, could you please extend the hosting on the weekend because I will not be able to play this saturday (11/03). TIA.

this hard research is going to be a real pain for some people

Hmm... is turn 1 starting over again? Or are we on to turn 2 yet?

Ygorl · #56 March 9th, 2006, 02:23 AM

I'm still trying to understand and fix a very bizarre... Um, bizarre thing.
I'd tell you about it, but I'd have to mindwipe you.
I am cautiously optimistic, though, that it's about to be resolved (pending something happening which should happen today or tomorrow).
Unfortunately, we'll be back to turn 1. Still, if you're going to have to redo any turn at all, turn 1 isn't a bad choice (and, thanks to my nifty automated backups, you don't have to re-upload pretenders...)

WraithLord, what's the difference between WraithLord and Izaqyos? And, don't worry, I will slow down the hosting for the weekend (I will set it to 48-hour quickhost on Friday).

Make sure you delete your previous RAND2 game folder though or you will see the last(or first if you didn't delete it before turn1 v2.0) turn 1.

Someone wanna help me with understanding this version of Orania. Are the special sites still in the provinces they would be?

Ygorl · #58 March 9th, 2006, 03:58 AM

Nope. It's a naked map. Nothing is fixed except the starting points (and even those aren't assigned to specific nations).

Eh? I haven't noticed you playing Ermor any more than is usual... I for one will never get used to the change unless you start

Won't we all see what nation Wraithlord is playing if the hosting time is extended? I mean, wouldn't the last to play be him? That's why such requests oughta be relayed via Alneyan or some other kind-hearted fool

Only, that wouldn't do any good if there are any other games that the cause for extension is in. And, if there are none deductions can be made from that... Sheesh, I'm going to get a headache if I think this trough...

Anyway, one option to avoid the possible problem would be taking the server down for 24 hours at some point. That's probably too much, though. (Of course, if I should happen to find out what nation Izaqyos is, I doubt I can resist the temptation!)

Indeed, thinking about it, won't posting to this thread make it possible to correlate nations and people? I mean, if one assumes that you will take your turn and post to the forum at nearly the same time, you could in theory observe a co-incidence of such events and draw conclusions.

Of course, the odds for observing such an event should be rather low unless you in fact are paying attention to the matter, and chances are everybody has something better to do with their time

Yeah, I've got a fever and it shows...
