The Artifacts Game - [ HOLY S**T MICAH WON!! ]

[quantum_mechani]

You were right, you have to resend the turn. Not the turn 3 turn though, if you've already done one.

Well, I guess I will either have a lot of money, or my army, next turn now. I'd prefer to have the army though.

Heh, oh well, it's just a game.

From llamas Info to rollbacks, we don't need to resend:


artifacts: Roll back to previous turn

This will cause the game to return to the previous turn.

Note that I highly recommend not doing this. The main reason for this is the fact that players have already seen the current turn, and so they know what would happen given the set of moves they used last time. Hence, consciously or not, they are very likely to use this information to change their actions next time they submit a turn. Even assuming none of the players' actions are affected, there will always be a suspicion in the mind of the other players if battles turn out significantly differently. Therefore just in the interest of having the game feel completely fair, I think rollbacks are a bad idea.

Having said that, there are situations where rollbacks are called for, which is why I've included the option here.

Note that once the game is rolled back, it will appear that the game is waiting for 2h files from all players. However, the 2h files from last time the turn was played will in fact be there, and will be used if the game hosts without them being overwritten. This can be useful; often, a game is rehosted in order for only one or two players to retake their turns, while everyone else is expected to make no changes. The game admin can therefore wait till just those players have submitted, and then force hosting. None of the other players will stale (assuming they actually submitted a 2h file last time the turn was played).

Well, I must agree with you: it's confusing! Doesn't seem like sending your old turn 2 would be detrimental at least. If it is the case that everyone elses 2hs are there and just hidden, hopefully Boron will get in his turn soon, and maybe the whole thing can avoid confusing a lot more people...

[Lingchih]

From the status page, it looks like the game is now waiting on everyone to submit their turns. I think it won't host now until tomorrow. We'll see what happens then.

[calmon]

We just wait until boron send in his turn and QM force hosting. The other turnfiles are still in (read the bolt words in my post).

[quantum_mechani]

Just got in contact with boron, his should be in in a few minutes, then we will be back on track.

[quantum_mechani]

Hmm, we may need to rollback again, it shows many people staled the turn. Can somone who did not resubmit confirm?

[Lingchih]

I think we need to restart the game.

I didn't stale, seems fine
