Pitboss 18 IT and Tech Issues Thread

I assume that you guys have contacted both the game admin and informed Caledorn so that we can resume the game ASAP?

[Krill]

Yes to both, but Caledorn has gone to sleep for a bit. So looks like we miss a day.

Now Furungy is playing. Can someone repause the game?

[Lord Parkin]

Do we have an admin decision on the reload - whether to reload and to what save? It would also be nice to get some sort of explanation as to why a reload is requested/granted.

There has been a wartime turn order violation with some serious consequences. The reload seems justified to me.

Please people, if you're in a war, keep track of whether you're supposed to be playing before or after your opponent, and check the tracker regularly to make sure you're not about to make an illegal move. There have been a heap of wars in this game so far and most folks manage to avoid turn order violations with ease. It only takes a few seconds to check the tracker before you play, and doing so could save a day of playtime for 34 players.

I would suggest that when someone logs in to pause the game that you log in with something in your name indicating a game issue so other players don't just unpause and play anyway. That way there's a visible disclaimer in case someone doesn't visit the tech thread, or only checks the pitboss portal.

Why would somebody even unpause a paused game without checking to see what it was about?

MYKI went and played, so yet another pause is needed

Good idea. "Game Paused by CHECK TECH THREAD" ought to work.

You don't even need to log in, just try to join with the incorrect password for every single civ.

I paused it with ~3 hours left on the timer (with a hopefully alerting name)--any clue where Caledorn is?
