The Pitboss connection thread

[Krill]

Is a vote necessary here or do you just want me to make a decision?

[sooooo]

I don't really think a vote is appropriate because the teams have vested interests. Best someone independent (you!) makes the decision.

[Hercules]

I tried to play the last two moves; I had played all the others much earlier. They may just have moved before I lost the connection, because one of them in view moved and then, close down.

Again, if you have important things to do, don't put them off to last 30 minutes of turn If you don't have important things to do, then it doesn't matter very much.

Anyway, Herc, are you going to answer my question - do you have a time when I can reload it and you can play right away, within reasonable timeframe for me?

[Swiss Pauli]

Still no reply from Herc/Templars? I'm beginning to get the impression that the actions they couldn't make can't have been that important. Any chance we can get on with the game and continue from T125?

Lets get on!

Was this the end of the game?

[snoopy369]

I don't think I can load the game without a decision by someone. I'll wait until tonight to load it then, that should give enough time...

[Dreylin]

IMO (i.e. not team), in the absence of word from Templars and in need of decision, we should invoke the Krill....

[Krill]

I think the game should be reloaded from after the turn has rolled over and the religion spread has occured.

Sorry, this is alot harder a decision to make than it seems at first glance. Templars already logged in and did most of their moves and then couldn't log in although others could, which makes it seem like it isn't a bug with the game, but a bug with Hercs connection, which hasn't been legislated for. Requireing a reload for every time a turnplayer has technical difficulties (and not a bug) is not going to work, especially if a major war breaks out. I know some teams will want the full 48 (well, closer to 54) hours to discuss stuff, but doing that every turn isn't good for the overall experience judging from the private fora. Templars, this is not in any way a warning, but it appears that speeding up your gameplay would be better for the game as a whole, and having more than 1 turn player would be useful to you (especially if Herc keeps on having these sort of connection problems, and you are going to do moves in the last hour or two of the turn).

[Hercules]

Play on because if the moves actually were completed, then no harm done. I won't know until I look at the new turn. Sorry for not getting back, I thought the game wasn't loaded.

[theViking]

When will the game be restarted?

[snoopy369]

I'll reload to start of turn, then. Just FYI, I don't think it would undo any religion spread unless Herc took an action that required a random roll (generally, combat), and even that I'm not sure is related (as there are multiple RNG streams). But I concur with the decision to load so I'm not going to argue any more against myself

Hello, Please its possible to stop the game saturday to monday? Team imperio lost his managers because holy week.

So its 3 days its to much time for us, maybe sunday and monday?

Thanks and sry for my english.

[Hercules]

I agree to request for stoppage for a few days. It is just too difficult to get team members to respond to latest developments at this Easter time.

I understand that a team can pause the game, how do you do that?
