Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)

[Teraswaerto]

So, when I looked at the restarted game, it said Machaka already had a player. I did click on it, and it said "your god is now in control of Machaka", so I guess that took care of that.

OK ten players listed and 10 nations selected. Im starting the game (again)

Im working on a way of managing the games by web which should be more efficient (anyone here CGI?) and I will keep that in mind as a good addition to the process.

Hopefully no problems this time.
You should consider php for the web stuff.. itll be alot easier than going with pure cgi. Should be a simple thing to make a little page to drop the files into a dir with a password.

Kewl. Let me know when its ready.

Heehee. Its just that I keep hearing java script, perl, php, xml, /etc /etc and Im just an old BASIC programmer. Nearly all the random map generation stuff I have on there was done in BASIC. If I cracked down and learned the quirks of CGI enough to write one Id probably write it in BASIC also.

-- Yes you can teach an old dog new tricks. The hard part is getting him to want to learn new tricks.

OK some false starts there but this should be good now. Whoever did a machaka turn should go ahead and take it back (ignore the turned in note) and do "continue where I left off" just to be sure its done correct. (I got the same message on Pangaea because I was logged in during a false start)

[Teraswaerto]

When I log on as Machaka, it displays the game as if though it hadn't been restarted at all, and when I try to end my turn it says "wrong password".

AARRGGGHHHH!
Lessons learned. Apologies to you all but dont mind me, actually this is kindof fun. I havent had any admining headaches for a long time.

OK the problem is that we had games named RyanzEye on our machines, and now the god files wont load right because they were "used" apparently.

Easiest fix... start again, new game name.

Lesson learned... make copys of god files before starting game.

suggestion: figure out who is playing what nations

hope for future: I am keeping notes and writing scripts to automate all of this so this isnt a waste of time.

Again, apologies to all....

-- All errors made here will be chalked up to "experience". If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Ive had a ton of "experience"

Let's try again next year, then. I am off for new year's eve party now!

Have a good remaining few hours, everyone.

[rabelais]

The server is currently non reponsive, are we starting again?

Please advise when it's back up.

Thanks!

P.S. does anyone else think it's weird that your GOD can't build a temple?

[SurvivalistMerc]

Rabelais,

I thought that was weird, too...but your prophet can. So you can't be without the ability to get temples entirely.

I guess the devs thought that it was beneath divinity to construct the building in which the divinity will be worshipped. Which ultimately made sense to me...but I thought it odd at first, too.

Is the game full, or room for one more?
