I played just turn 37 and hope everything will sort itself out.

There was problems with the llamaserver yesterday. It seems that 2 turns were just hosted in a row. I did not receive turn 36. It seems everyone staled on turn 36. As long as we are all in the same boat it is okay.

Hm, strange. For me it seems you moved on every turn and I hadn't any stales either, except for buggy turn 38, but the server accepts only 2h for turn 37, so I guess no stales actually happened.

I figured that out after. It took me a while to find the right turn.

Anyway, I now know what the AI is doing next, so I know where to build my PD for the next turn.

Heh, me too. But maybe there is some randomness here...

Great. Now, it seems, everything went COMPLETELY wrong. I just received turn 39 with TWO stales in a row. So funny.

Yep. I did as well. I'm going to PM llamabeast with the details; it seems to me we will have to suffer a rollback; he'll have to recompile our Turn 36 orders and we'll get Turn 37 again.

Okay, wow, crazy stuff!

Thanks for letting me know IndyPendant, I had missed this completely.

Basically I think Dominions tried to host the turn but for some reason it failed to work properly, I don't know why. The LlamaServer doesn't expect that so it all went crazy and out of synch - I haven't bothered to work out the details, but basically the LlamaServer only knows what turn it is by keeping count of hostings, so if it gets out of synch with the real turn number Bad Things Happen.

I've rolled back to a Turn 37 I found which appears to be all fine, and got the LlamaServer to resend turns to all of you. Before you look at your turns, DELETE ANY 2H FILES IN YOUR BALANCE DIRECTORY. Otherwise confusion may result.

Okay, hopefully all will be well from here, let me know if there are any problems.

PS I've added a 24h delay. And apologies for the all-caps shouting above. It makes me cringe just to look at it.

The e-mail says I've got turn 38, but the game says it's #39...
