Welcome and thanks to the new Ulm player.

No problem with a rollback. Anybody who already looked at the turn and saved it should delete the contents of the game folder, and let a new .2h be built from scratch.

Also, my vote would be for normal in-game communication in the thread. My communication skills are bad enough that I would prefer to address my games when I'm thinking about them, and reserve email for RL, or urgent communications. If nobody answers me in the thread, I will stick to the original premise.

what's going on with the game? there was a rollback, than a force host(or so it seems) and than a server hosting error. can't even find the game on Llamaserver now so I have no idea when the next turn is due, and heck, if the game is still up...

I'd appreciate we delay the game(if it's still running that is) until we figure everything out.

It seemed like we were back in business but without the rollback. Then I looked a couple of days ago, Ulm player submitted a turn, and status page had no other players, just Ulm. The rest of us showed on the other pages. I wish I had checked staling data. My guess is we crashed again on hosting with only one player. Any word from llama?

Llamaserver was playing up again in the week. I've contacted llamabeast about this, and hopefully things will be restored again. tbh, restarting the game from scratch might be simpler if rather less satisfying.

Apologies for the delays in sorting this out. I haven't been in much the last few nights. Won't be able to fix it tonight either as I'll be at my girlfriend's and I can't access the server from there. Will try to look into it tomorrow.

OK guys.

We had the rollback, but only Arco and I played last turn. What's up?

13lackGu4rd · #37 November 13th, 2010, 07:49 PM

please don't initiate another rollback. I tried to warn you guys against the first time(when it was just for Ulm) and we had a rollback bug which almost killed the game entirely. I just think that all this idle time made people forget about this game, which I suspect is why they haven't submitted their turns.

perhaps you should send a llamaserver email to all the staling nations, inquiring why they staled and remind them that we're back in business, so they can resume submitting their turns. the only other thing you can do is keep an eye on llamaserver when it's near the hosting time. if too many people have yet to submit their turn than extend the hosting by 24 hours and check with said players what their problem is.

Hm, yes. I'm currently a bit burned out on Dom3 and my motivation is rather low, so sorry about the interruption to normal service.

ditto (without the rollback thing)

well, it seems like it's just you and me that actually contiue to play the game regularly. and to be honest, I haven't been investing as much time as I should have, this late in the game, yet nobody tried to make any move against me, mostly due to stales.

my position seems awfully dominant, and nobody seems to really try and challenge it. should we just end this game as it seems that the majority(3/5 players) completely lost interest already.
