We have lift-off!!!!!!!!

[EPW]

Team Banana has a problem...we seem to be sharing our starting position with another civ.

[GeoModder]

Is it by chance the Babylonians?
If so, I think that civ is retired since it has zero score.

[EPW]

Yes

If Locotus can get back in with the other civ's he can simply load the game as the wrong one and RETIRE. This would boot that civ to the AI and the real civ owner can claim it with a new password that is set upon entering.

As an alternative, Snoopy can kick those civ's in the PitBoss admin screen and they will revert to the AI and can then be claimed by their real owners.

The only harm done is that Locotus has superior knowledge.

Imperio can't login when ask password for civ.

I think you need to contact Locutus.

I think we need a restart with apprently 3 teams locked to the same password and Locutus inadvertly knowing one other civs starting location.

I hope Locutus is still allowed to play.

And we also need the Mapmaker to PM both us and that other team who picked the same first & second place civs (in the same order) as we did to break the tie.

A low tech coin flip would suffice. (I call heads for Templar)

And if at all possible we need an admin to before annoucing the restart is ready to log into every team and set all the passwords.

I repeat!

A restart is not necessary.

Since we obviously have some PitBoss newbs here, I issue the following warning:

IF YOU ENTER THE PITBOSS GAME TO EITHER PLAY THE TURN OR SIMPLY TO REVIEW YOUR TEAM'S POSITION, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU LEAVE THE GAME USING EXIT TO MAIN MENU , NOT EXIT TO DESKTOP.

Doing the latter suspends the game timer and keeps the connection to the server open where Snoopy's machine may eat up all of his bandwidth.

That bug should be fixed in BtS, no? I thought it was.

I'm sorry for the confusion... I thought about adding passwords, but as I'm still up in the air as to joining a team or not, I didn't want to do that. AFAIK there's no way for me to add a password at the pitboss admin screen.

Whoops. Thanks for the notice. Anything else we should know regarding pitboss?

[snoopy369]

I will reload from the 4000 bc save tonight... this time please don't log in as other people

If I haven't by ~20:00 central time (11 hours from now), please PM me and remind me to...

[joncnunn]

I guess it's up to the Banana team as to weather they think Locutus knowlege of both of our starting locations requires a new map.

But both us Templars and Banana need to know which of us is the Incans and which is the Mayas so we can log in as the correct teams because we apprently both picked Incans first and Maya second.

The bug lives!

In the initial save, it had names associated with the teams... just use the right one (and don't have locutus take over 3 teams )
