OHHHH SOLVER- --- Where are you ?

Rant mode ON.

This game has been moving at a snail's pace. We got through the first 5 turns where the longest turnaround time for anyone was 16 hours. Now we have had a series of longer delays with no explanation. I have been trying to identify what is going on ( not to blame but to get the game moving) and have found

Dr Faustus-- excellent turn rate -- longest was 18 hours and generally VERY fast

cbn -- all turns were played within 12 hours of receipt with the exception of a declared 3 day absence

SITS-- hard to tell since we do not usually have the benefit of Solver's posts to know when the turn was sent BUT always seems to reasonably fast

Twister --seems to be the fastest of the lot on weekdays but has considerable delays on weekends ( perhaps you do not play on weekends Twister??)

Solver-- There now seems to be a hitch with Solver. The last 3 turns from Solver have taken 2.5 days, 12 hours and 2.5 days respectively and these are estimates since we have to glean things from SITS' posts since Solver is not posting here, adding to the uncertainty as to the turn location. Missing turn notifications would not be so bothersome if it was a player that was playing quickly.

So my question is to Solver as to whether this can be improved.
There is not much we can do there except get the turn to Twister on Friday (assuming there is a weekend problem) so the weekend delay is minimized.



Rant mode OFF

whew!-- hate to be a complainer but we can do better than this--its obvious that Dr Faustus is equally discontent.

[SITS]

Nope - the last one I had from Solver was 2111 which I played and sent...

[DrFaustus]

The Phantom Game...

Again 3 days with no movement. Who has the turn ? Did you play Solver ? Have you seen the turn SITS ?

And Solver, it seems that all but one of the scores are posted in this thread.

Dr faustus 6
Cbn 3
SITS 5
Solver 10
Twister ?

[Solver]

Twice bigger yawn. Would someone please post the scores of 2110 to the SMAC Ratings thread? I'm waiting for it...

[DrFaustus]

Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwn. .....

2112 to University.

Snore.

[cbn]

2111 is played and sent to the cyborgs

[cbn]

I have the turn and will play at about 1800 Apolyton time.

[Twister]

Turn 2111 to the Hive

[SITS]

Turn received and sent on to Twister

[cbn]

And now we are over 48 hours with no notice !!

[SITS]

I've not received the turn yet from Solver...

[cbn]

Gang

I hate to be a pest about this but we are once again with a 36 hour gap ( and counting) with no notice or reason. Is the turn with Solver or has it moved on??

[DrFaustus]

2111 to Solver.

Score is 6.

[cbn]

2110 to the cyborgs

My score is a 3-- no suprise really


But I may have a bug. My F2 screen shores that I have a tech cost of 19 and accumulated tech of 19. The bar at the top shows up that I have 0 turns until the next tech.The tech should be available now!!! Instead not only do I not get the tech but the first base will now lose its tech contribution next turn IIRC. I have never seen this before . At this stage I have no tech enhancements or detractors to boost or derogate from tech points so there are no partial tech points or rounding that I can figure. Has anyone seen this before ?
