Can I join as Sauromatia? Or am I not a noob? I've only played three MP games.

You are very welcome to join, K, and any open race is fine. I learned a lot about playing against Lanka by being trounced by you in the first game .

Not joining, just poking in where I shouldnt.
You might consider

--statfile
gives a nice short text file that gives you an easy way to see who turned in, who went ai, and who staled. You can also toss it into the webdir with scores

I turned this on in my other game and stats.txt always looks like this:
Code:

---

Statistics for game 'b2' turn -1



Abysia played this turn

C'tis played this turn

Agartha played this turn

R'lyeh played this turn

Lanka played this turn

Weird. I originally started that server from within the gui, then switched to command line. I'm guessing that's why it's broken.

So I wrote the attached extremely ugly bash script to put status info into the web page, and just cronned it up.

--hours 24 (or 36 or 72 or something)
a timeout on turns will save you some hassles later if no one has complaints about it. The -q (quickhost) is usually what really happens for quite awhile into the game anyway.

Will this work if I turn it on later?

Thanks for all the other tips too!

Hello I joined in with Mictian

[thejeff]

I uploaded, which apparently started the game.

I guess that's the "-uploadmaxp 6"?

I hope everyone was ready?

Hmmm, K had claimed Sauromatia, but hadn't uploaded yet.
I guess Tequilich took the 6th spot.

Do we want to restart? K?

Tequilich, the post was marked as Full, sorry. If K decides not to join then you can have his spot.

thejeff, you don't mind doing your first turn over do you?

We can wait for K to reply. If he's still interested, I will delete the game and restart it.

[thejeff]

Not a problem. It's a first turn.
Move the scout, prophetize and recruit. 5 minutes, tops.

I've deleted the game, and restarted the server. I added one more slot for Tequilich, I hope no-one objects. The players are:

tromper - Ermor
thejeff - Vanheim
Eressil3 - Lanka
Thrawn - Arco
vfb - Marverni
K - Sauromatia
Tequilich - Mictlan

Would all the above players please reconnect to the server and join the game, thanks.

God uploaded. Good luck everyone!

Thanks, just waiting for Tequilich now.
