Good morning folks.
Rhoth, I have the game set up to reject all your moves. he he he
My PC went down last night for some strange reason. Sorry about that. Loading the game up now.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
OK - game is back up with 21+ hours in the turn. It shows Rhoth and Ephack as having played.
Of the recovery saves - Rhoth's was time dated at 12.07 am. Ephack at 12.10 am, and snoop's at 2:35 am. I reloaded the snoopy recovery save, which probably means that is about when my computer crashed. I think. Rhoth and Ephack may want to check their turns to make sure what they wanted to happen in fact did.
Checking civ stats now.

I just logged in and played. Snoop, I can confirm that you do need to replay your turn - if in fact you got a chance to play it at all.
Civ stats is also up and running fine.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
Yeah, I did get a chance to play it, and replayed it now
Changed my hut luck for the worse though

I thought it would be the same.
New turn is up.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
Thats what that "random seed on reload" button is for.
Uncheck it and i THINK the trible loot should be the same no matter how many times you reload the turn.
Yes, I think you're right, Pinchak. And I confirm that small huts villages are quite agressives
Game seems to be down. Any chance to get it online tonight?
Sorry folks. Was watching the race, and then playing an interesting game of SP civ.
Game back up. 18+ hours left.
pinchak, Witt, and provi left to play.

I will look into it - not sure where it is on the pitboss setup though.Originally posted by pinchak

Well, you probably had it set to staying nonrandom as default is retain seed.
What presumably happened is someone did something that didn't happen the first time before I got the hut (I was an early player first time around, and a late player second time around), or didn't do something. That would change the result of the hut.
The way randoms work in civ, there are two different sets of random numbers, that are each seeded with a different starting number. Every civ out there has the same set of random numbers; the seed is what determines what happens in this particular game. Each time it needs a random number, it asks for the next one from whichever list is appropriate (I don't remember which list does what). That number is then taken on all computers playing the game; so the next time you need a random, everyone has the same random again.

You should be. You almost ruined our lives while watching cars go round a track!!!Originally posted by Beta
Sorry folks.
I'm not a drama queen I swear!
Sure. I believe you.
Looks like Gamespy broke the connection last night with 15 hours to go on the turn. Reloading.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
OK game back up with witt, pinchak, and provi to play.
A bit weird though - the civstats turn timer is about 5 minutes different than what is showing on the pitboss game timer. Any ideas? Never noticed whether they were exactly the same before or not.
snoop - thanks for the info on the random seed matter. You think they would simply have the game roll two ten-sided dice like the good ole' days of table top gaming.

:Hmmm: I have just played my turn but CivStats still shows me as not played yet....

New turn and no notice that I can see. I think civstats is disconnected - but when I go in to reset it, it indicates that the password is already in use. Hmmm..

Ok - had to go in to task manager - civstats did not show up as a program, but it did as a process. Ended it. Restarted and reactivated. Looks like the time is synched now, and civstats up to-date.
And I see what you mean Witt - it does indicate that you did not play the last turn.

Oh well, no real harm done though. Thanks for your efforts Beta!

Sorry about that Witt.
Game seems to be rolling along fine now.

A heads up - they are working on replacing some electric meters in our park. The power may be off for some short period(s) of time today. I am going to be out working in the yard for the next bit, but will try and check back regularly if the game needs restarting.
Taking a save now.

Electricity seems stable today
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
Game reloaded and running.

I am trying to engage in a MP game, and pitboss is giving me issues. Going to close it down for a few hours and start up later. Thx for your patience.

Make sure you are using the same username that you use to play turns in pittboss.
If you use the username you used to set up pittboss it will stop you.
But you probably already knew this.
CivStats is disconnected!
But the game is working... Pinchak has not played.

New turn... And still no civ stats...
Yep - understood. But that was not the issue. I think it was a case of too much running on a so-so fast dsl hook-up. I was slowing the game down. The next HOTW8 session is not until the week after next.Originally posted by pinchak

And yes - civstats is disconnected.
Connecting now.
