[SPOILERS] Pindicator promises brighter days ahead

[pindicator]

Thanks Cornflakes. Let's go NW again if I can't get this sorted out by the next turn.

Speaking of which ... I haven't had any luck in researching this issue. You mentioned something in the tech thread about it being due to someone who has named their civilization name too long so that the packet is too large for my network setup -- if so, would that be something we should expect to remedy itself when I get back to my own place? Or is this something we need to continue to troubleshoot?

Moved your scout NW. Note that you have apparently met Commodore as there is no question mark next to his name. His scout wasn't in sight though when I tried to check. Situation now:

Please tell me this is some kind of early April Fools joke.

Thank you again for covering. I should be able to play the next turn.

Back home and I can play again.  I suppose the issue must be something with my parents' internet setup.  Next time I visit I'll get out a packet sniffer if I have time and poke around.

First thing I did was press F4 to make sure it was really happening.



At some point I have to wonder if Commodore and I are just part of the longest running practical joke in Realms Beyond's history.

Note how he has met 2 neighbors alread, one either on the same turn as me or earlier.  So we have close neighbors and lots of land.  Probably something similar to PB34 then?

Found a decent spot for city #2

I swear I didn't realize you two were neighbors until the map had been sent out. Though it's still not my fault if I had, it's all Ref the Ref's fault

[RefSteel]

Yeah ... I had no idea you guys were neighbors either until several hours after I posted the final map, when I had a chance to start looking over all the start positions with player names attached for the first time.

BRick is also entirely right though: Insofar as it's anybody's fault, it's definitely mine.

I noticed but didn't want to say anything cause I was scared they'd change it .

More scouting:



More friendly neighbors:



That's Gavagai, btw. He's already said hi to Commodore; they were at war last turn.
