Turn 36 has been sent. It was delayed due to a corrupted Atlantis file, which sure seems common enough for this game. I would still like to keep the deadline at 5 PM MST tomorrow, or perhaps later in the evening as necessary.

Looking at the score graphs for Turn 36, there seems to be a plethora of nations who have no more independants to conquer. I guess it must be time for some wartime proposals. If only I could think of another one, I just might be dangerous.

As for my cross-country move, the approval paperwork seems hopelessly mired within endless buracracy. Of course, this has become quite typical for our splendid government (By the people, For the people, or some such random nonsense). I still don't have a date for the move as yet. And I just might get fed up with all this and tell them to go pound sand. Who knows???

Turn 37 has been sent. However, they may be a big problem.

When I hosted, I got a message that the C'tis file was corrupt. But instead of aborting the hosting with a Nagot error, it went ahead and finished the hosting anyway. So I have no idea what happened. It is not something I have ever seen before.

I guess there are basically 2 things to expect:

1. C'tis will be reported as a stale.
2. C'tis will get a Nagot error and be unable to do anything with his turn.

I sent him a message but have received no reply as yet.

That sucks. But it's not like there's much going on...

If there is something wrong with your turn, I'd hate to discover that it messes you up further in the future. It may be best to re-run turn 37, if there's something wrong now.

Morkilus · #**666** January 20th, 2006, 02:14 PM

why can't we re-do?

Ygorl · #**667** January 20th, 2006, 02:20 PM

I don't know much (or anything) about how or why games get corrupted, what the symptoms are, anything like that... But if there's any chance that Huntsman's nation might get screwed up, or (even worse!) the whole game might get screwed up, I'm definitely in favor of re-hosting.

Huntsman · #**668** January 20th, 2006, 08:55 PM

I'm checking the turn right now.

Edit: turn loads fine but I guess we won't know for sure until the next hosting

Cainehill · #**669** January 20th, 2006, 11:09 PM

If it loads fine, should be fine. Albeit you might want to get your turn in a little early - Panther could do a test run to make sure. ( IE, host with just your turn, check what happens, throw it away and rehost with all the turn files. )

I tested the newly received C'tis turn and it worked perfectly fine. Whatever the error was (if any), it appears to have been relatively benign. We will therefore continue on schedule with the current turn due at 5 PM MST on Sunday.

I am missing only the following turns:
Machaka
Man
Marignon
Vanheim (sent the trn file)
