[TECH] Pitboss 33 IT and Tech Issues Thread
|
|
I genuinely don't mind if I play before or after yourself. I just have a lot of thinking to do being in rather a lot of wars and quite restricted play times. Rolling the turn is rather irrelevant to me. I'll see if anyone else who can play more regular would like a crack at modern warfare though.

First, FYI I posted this in the unified tech thread:

I'm trying to play the turn, but it's just not cooperating, so that's going to hold us up unfortunately. I'll try one last time in a few minutes. --- I guess I can just speak frankly since we're all very aware of where the game's at, and I'm not exactly spoiling anything. I'm torn about this game. REM probably has it won, but when the turns get to me, I do really enjoy it. I also don't think the win is SO foregone that it's not worth playing out. I'd place REM's odds of victory at around 90%. A concession would be well-deserved, but there's no chance I would be conceding just yet if pace hadn't been an issue. And as far as pace goes, the last few turns have definitely been fine. So... I dunno. I'm still having fun, but I get the feeling this run of decent turns is not a new normal. I guess I'll sleep on it.

I don't want to end the game here at all, purely for enjoyments sake. But I don't want to be causing others grief. I have precious little time for gaming currently, and I don't want to be causing people offence or upsetting them which in the last couple of turns I have done enough to 2 players/teams for them to take it to the tech thread, nevermind if there are any personal thread grumblings. I certainly agree that I am the front runner, and that the victory is nowhere near a forgone conclusion to the point where it isn't worth playing out. I would feel awful if this caused the game to crash and burn. Yesterday I was hugely annoyed. I did spend quite a while waiting to be able to get in the turn being blocked by xenu, and tried to play it straight after the 31 x2 turn I played. I chose to stay up and wait specifically because I wanted to not make the turn wait another day, as it would have been around a day before I could have attempted to play again. I was shattered the whole next day for the first day on a new job. Whilst I wasn't expecting plaudits for this, it really got to me what happened in the tech thread yesterday. I thought my pace had been OK the last few turns, certainly no worse than the amount of time I was generally having to wait to be able to play. It shouldn't change much from what it currently is as I am off shifts now. So in summary I will do whatever the majority would want to do, be it for myself to play on or get a sub (which I could hang around and help somewhat). I would prefer to play on but not at the expense of others enjoyment. I don't think the game should be called either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll review my NatNeg settings, it's been a while since I played pitboss so maybe there is something I need to change. But that's the kind of thing you have to tell someone, i didn't see any messages saying another player was trying to connect. That said, I was connected to the game for 40 minutes, not an egregiously long period of time. To avoid bad timing next time, unless something unplanned happens I'll be playing my turn 13 or 14 hours from now after the little Tyrant is in bed. Feel free to play any time you want to.

I would prefer to play on but not at the expense of others enjoyment. I don't think the game should be called either way. I've thought about this a little more. I really don't want to play on with a sub (would prefer calling it over that), so at this stage I'd prefer to play on as-is. If turn pace devolves into a mess again I may still tap out, but I'd like to give it a little longer. The main reason is that the turns are very consequential right now, and that's part of why it would feel so hollow to call it.

No it's due to me I think. I've been having issues with everyone for a while. I'll be able to finish in about 3-4 hours. Lots of fronts to contemplate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
