Re: The Terrible Twos - Server Problems

I had an inkling that I could unpause it myself ... but I did not want to do that if there was a purpose to the pause.

And I knew when I posted earlier that I could get at the game two hours later ... and get the turn done if the unpause would work.

Now, if neither Munro or Whip plays, is that going to be a problem? Isn't Munro waiting for Whip at the moment? Which might be why he paused?

While I agree that pauses are to be avoided in general, there can be RARE times it is useful. If it can avoid a reload, for example.

So in this instance, do we need to pause to let Whip and Munro play to avoid another reload?

No.

Munro has done a great job giving Whiplash every opportunity to do his turn. I can only assume (and hope) that Munro will not miss the turn as a result. As for Whiplash, for him to request a reload and then not do his turn...well, I think we've done more than our share to accommodate him these last couple of days.

Then would you (and hsoft) agree to letting Munro and I move first? Waiting around for 17 hours every turn is getting old fast.

Munro has (harmlessly) double moved me last turn (I had internet problems), so the turn order has in fact changed. I've been waiting for you two to play.

Cool, moving now. Should be harmless as well.

Yes, I'll be moving shortly as well (in the next 2-3 hours) so we - Elkad and I - will continue to play first (before hsoft & whiplash) from here on.

Re: The Terrible Twos - Server Problems

The server is now down for the holidays. I'll be restoring to the start of 375 AD (current turn) around 11:00 am eastern (4:00 pm GMT) on Dec 29.
