My Macness seems to be disallowing me to read the turn...

I can't download it. Herc, or somebody of the Pirates (or anybody for that matter) could e-mail me I'd appreciate it.

Pirates to Drones Turn 2102

Call me Ismael - no, no, no, that's not me, it must be the rum talking again.

Polly wanna cracker! Awkk! - no, no, no, that's not it either.

Maybe the answer's in this here bottle washing up on the shore. Why don't you'all open it right up and shiver your timbers.

Cuspidore Brownbeard out.

2103 to Hive

2103 to Hive

The march of the drones have started

[GeneralTacticus]

Ok, it seems we have a problem here. When I finished the turn, I pressed escape by mistake, and then saved the turn in roder to avoid losing the results of pod pops. However, when I then tried to end the turn, the game claimed that the year was now 2104 and that the Hive were next. As things stand, the only solutions that I can see are to either replay the turn and accept different pod results or else replay the turn until we got the right pod results, both of which would be most annoying, or else hope that googlie can do something about it. Here is the save taken after I'd ended the turn.

I would say replay your turn. It is so close to the begining, not much could have happened, so it shouldn't take that long, or be that annoying should it? I would just play it once, and act as if you hadn't played it before. It may give you a very small advantage (knowing what you do from playing the turn once before) but it's hardly a big advantage at this stage.

But it's up to Googlie

[Googlie]

Hmm - I can't replicate that - when I play the Uni 2103 turn, hit escape and save, when I re-open it it opens right on the save where I left it

And when I open the Hive's 2104 turn that GT attached it's showing 2 replays already for the UoP's 2103 turn.

Some further explanation needed?

But clearly the save you attached is the Hive for 2104 - I'm not sure why a Uni exit would bypass the other factions' turns and jump to the next year - but it obviously has.

Obviously a snafu, so a complete turn replay is in order, replicating the moves and accepting a possible different podpop outcome

Subsequent players will see a "Uni has reloaded 3 times" message, which, if they are satisfied with the explanation for the first 2 reloads, can be ignored

Just a further thought. Can any of GT colleagues play the earlier turn duplicating the moves.

[Googlie]

Yes - any Uni member with the password can play the turn normally, and no replay message will appear

[buster]

Just redo the turn - with or without reload message and lets move on. I mean if the save got corrupted there is really no other option. Just do it using the same moves and repopping the pods - if results are better lucky for you if theý are worse too bad.

[Googlie]

Let's get the restarted turn up to date while we're waiting for MarkG.

We'll do it like a regular PBEM - I'll e-mail the passwords to the turnplayer with instructions to send the turn on by e-mail to the next in line, and send the restarted Hive, 2102 to Voltaire

Don't post the passwords in your private forums until MarkG's confirmation.

New password has been sent to Voltaire by Private Message

[Googlie]

Hmmm - too late now to think of it, but I guess i could have played everyone's restarted turns myself, as a) I know the passwords and b) I can see the moves already made.

Ah well

Waiting for Voltaire

[mark13]

Well, you might as well, if you've still got the original save...

[Googlie]

As we have been stalled for four hours or so, I played the Uni's turn.

Attachment deleted as turn has been played

[Googlie]

Pulled it, as on comparing files I hadn't replicated the Uni's build

So there will be a reload message
