No. I'd say if no one else even notices the pause you're ok wink

PitBoss noob question: how do I tell if the game is paused?

I was also taking some screenshots. Didn't hit the pause/break (that I know of, anyway) but could easily see it happening. How would I know?

2 ways:

1-The turn timer stops

2-Where it says 'Waiting for other civilizations..' It will say 'Game paused by (whoever paused it)'

This is an interesting situation, given a similar situation is currently affecting RBP2. Much as a I symphatize with wanting to undo oversights, there should be some kind of definition between what should warrant a reload. I'm sure there's other teams that have also erred by now, and the more the game progresses, the more the likelyhood of these kinds of errors will increase.

As Dantski and Mukha were the team to finish the last turn, I don't really mind reloading it this time. But I'd also like to get some clarity on when requesting a reload is appropriate.

? Mukha didn't set a build, but according to civ stats, you were the one to end turn. Why didn't you check the box?

I think its difficult - what we decide this time has to be consistent for the whole game. Like in PB2, I think reloads should be for rule infractions or major issues. If we allow this, we have to allow others in the future.

We missed out on a turn of important scouting because of a mistake but we lived with it. I think we should be consistent, so we can avoid conflict later.

I'm ok with a reload now, but as the turns become more time-intensive, I think it would be better if we set a date as limit to allow these reloads. No more "Doh!" reloads after 2000 BC?

It was Dantski who ended the turn.
