Default Replacement player in PBW game issue

In the CelebSEV game, a player recently dropped out and another player took over. However, the new player is unable to access the turns because he doesn't know the password. How do we correct this?

Thanks,

Javaslinger

PBW should email the player's password.

If the previous player lied to PBW, then you need to contact that player directly to get the password.

If all else fails, process the turn manually, and do a password reset from the host's ingame menu.
Your new player will have to miss a turn with the AI playing, but they'll have a 6 digit, known password to use.

PM'd javaslinger. I thought I entered my password correctly in all my PBW games...

Aegis already asked for the password on the PBW Admin Requests forum; he should have received it by now.

If the password I sent him doesn't work, he's stuck until the next SEV patch lets the host change a player's password.

The emails were delayed by about7 hours for some reason.

Probably went around the world and few times and paused at a yurt for a bit.

Had an email that was gumming up the works on the server. I deleted that and everything else in line behind it finally was sent.
