HOTWXII Testing and Organisational thread

[Diplo Mongolia]

hey france, I could testplay with you tomorrow at 19:00 GMT. anyone else?

that's saturday at 1 PM american time right? more people should be available for that! I do NOT want another session lost for tech diffs. if we do find that we have problems we will have another 2 days to sort them out. and who knows, maybe france wasn't the only one who caused issues. so the more the better.

When is it?

In 2 hours from now.... 11:30pm GMT

Be great if you can play in HOTW11.

[Diplo Carpathia]

For the HOTW XI record, we need someone today who can login to our game for at least 1 turn.

I would be willing to play, even beyond that one turn.

Let me know what time in US EST. I won't be avaliable until 10:30 PM today.

(no it isn't silly me. +1 hour)

[Diplo France]

Yes it is, and anyone reading this is welcome to join. (I will be online for a hour or two)

[Diplo France]

Test was a succes.

[Diplo Carpathia]

Need replacment

Just a heads up...

I will need a replacement in either two weeks, three weeks, or a month.

If anyone knows someone who would like the helm of this empire for a session, please contact.

[Diplo France]

Today I'm 40 min early, like I said I'll never be late again... Hope I don't fall asleep thought.


Aren't we supposed to start early?

[Diplo Mongolia]

a lot of people were unable to start earlier I believe. But I started up the game so that people could get in and wait if they wanted to.

[Diplo France]

That's it. Having no issues before HOTW12 and then when they do crop up I switch to a completley different computer on a differnet connection and it still dosent work.


God must hate me. I'm going to try to make myself feel better with sex, alcohol and chocolate.



1st Edit: (Damm she's not in town as usual. Just chocolate and alcohol for me till monday. )

2nd Edit: Unless...

3rd Edit: Never underestimate the powah of phone numbers.

Even at impossible hours.

we'll try to figure out some way of making things right france. as for now, Nolan is subbing for you, so you're in good hands. here and there....

also in the news, Carp seems to have had a technical malfunction again, and as such we've waited 10 mins and are now trying for a sub. if we can't find one in another 10 mins, we'll be continuing with carp as AI.

[Diplo Carpathia]

Can someone email me the save.

I forgot to save it.

[Diplo Mongolia]

ok. another session finished with only some technical diffs. We got to squeeze off around 40 turns. Not any great feat, but we did propel the game forward. And that is good. I know Russia got a bit angry about us letting a sub start the game, but I stand on my point, that spending the 5 mins checking for technical problems was better than sitting in lobby for 5 mins. My apologies for the confusion and anger caused.

I'm very sorry to see France be unable to play today, I know he has done a lot to make things work, and it really does not make any sense why he seems to freeze the game. especially since he tried 2 different computers on different connections. that last part just throws any traditional problem solving straight out the window. We should keep trying to figure it out. It's a great mystery that must be solved.

I also want to thank VileMerchant for helping us sub, and would like to suggest he never go near a diplogame ever again.

A big thanks to Nolan who stepped in to save France from the clutches of the AI. I suggest France sends her a summary on diplomatic agreements and other issues of interest should it be necessary for her to sub for him again.

All things considered, decent session. Next will be better. I suggest we try to get France to work for about 30 mins next session. if the problem persists we'll have a sub ready to take over again. hopefully we'll be able to solve this enigma somehow.



and carp, I've mailed you the save on your carp at plomp mail.
