PBEM 8: E-mail & Technical Issues

[Shoot the Moon]

check your inbox shoot... i'm really sorry, it was stuck with me. my parents just got into town and i've had a hectic last day and a half. apologies.

Oh, no problem, a small delay every once in a while is no huge deal. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an email issue again that neither of us realized.

I might not be able to play tomorrow and on Thursday. I cannot say it for sure , but I have (again) to fly to Portugal and cannot guarantee that I will have the time to play or Internet access.

T50 is coming up. Update time?

I was taking my weekly look at the save and noticed accidentally a serious anomaly in the latest save that Serdoa has downloaded to the pbemtracker (RBPBEM8-take2_BC-0880_to_Hannibal.CivBeyondSwordSave). This anomaly is not present in the save that WarriorKnight has sent to pbemtracker. I strongly suggest that Serdoa you replay your turn from save RBPBEM8-take2_BC-0880_to_Hatshepsut.CivBeyondSwordSave.

In the Serdoa's save WarriorKnight has somehow been turned on Anarchy and is converting to Representation (that should be impossible). When I get to WarriorKnight's turn he indeed is in Anarchy, but after end turn Representation has been replaced by Despotism.

If I load the save sent to Serdoa and just click end turn everything works as usual.

Does Anyone have an idea what has happened?

[Serdoa]

Oh, great. I was wondering about his Representation change and thought he had built the Pyramids and there was an error with the log not showing that.

edit: Reuploaded - now it should be fine. Thanks for catching that plako

That makes me wonder if WarriorKnight has some mod components installed that he's forgotten about?

BTW, it is normal behavior for the game to bump you back into a default civic if you are somehow illegally in a civic. Usually the only way for this to happen is if you had and then lost the Pyramids or Shwedagon Paya.

[plako]

save seems to be alright.

The problem is/was probably in Serdoa's configuration since the save he got didn't have this problem.

[WarriorKnight]

Thanks for catching that plako.

What exactly is the problem? In the save that I just got, the log says that WarriorKnight adopted Representation and the demogs show lowest rival GNP as being 1 (suggesting someone is in revolt). Is that what is supposed to be happening, or is that what the problem was?

That's the problem, I shouldn't be in Representation. Maybe the bug occurred again during ad hoc's or meatbalz's turn? Not really sure why this is happening.
