The Pitboss connection thread

[sooooo]

Hi, I tried to log in 3 times for realms beyond, I could connect to the host but I could not connect to "palbo" on any occasion, receiving the same error message.

Civstats has not ticked over so there must be a crash somewhere.

EDIT: I have pmed snoopy.

EDIT 2: Civstats now ticked over, previously it was running the minus numbers for time left.

Two more people from RB have the same problem like soooo.
civstat showing a negative number is not an indication of a problem. It often does this close to tick over time.

Looks like it was not a glitch at all. palbo logged out after some 4 hours.
I can now log in fine.

I got some feedback to the proposal. We don’t feel it has been thoroughly thought out. Just people agreeing without debate.


Is what Dreylin proposed the usual fair way of conducting 2 v 1 wars ?

Are there other reasonable fair alternatives?

Restricting Templars and Imperio to specific sequential 16 hour slots seems strange.

Why not up to 24 hours for RB to play and in the second 24 hour period, Templars and Imperio can play when they are able to.

We are unsure about the rationale around the rule regarding upgrades and promotions.

[Dreylin]

Herc,

We read that the spirit of the "double-move war" rule was to simulate sequential turns during war - in order to preserve that spirit, we suggested a way of doing so that we felt was fair to all parties.

We were open to alternative suggestions, but none have been made.

The upgrades & promos clause is designed to stop teams from "attack-watching" and trying to affect attack outcomes on the fly. Note that although it is not explicitly stated in the rules, this applies to RB after the 16hr window has expired.

e.g. if team X has a stack of Maces & Elephants and attacks Team Y's stack with all their Elephants first, Team Y cannot promote their remaining units to Shock to better handle the Maces, or upgrade a warrior to Mace rather than Pike

Quite simply I am going to be away for approximately 48 hrs. So it would be courteous if the game was paused for 24 hours. I could by not ending turn achieve the same end result but I thought this would be better.

It will be still be a close call.

[Krill]

OK. 24 hours pause as of the end of Imperios turn.

You caught me at a bad time.

[sooooo]

Looks like the game is down anyway.

[mostly-harmless]

The game is back up and timer is ticking. 1 hour left on the clock.

Not sure what went on.

I am at a conference and a staying overnight and back tomorrow I would appreciate if the game could be paused after the first 16 hours so that I wont miss the turn.

Thanks

Game paused for the Templars. I think that only we (RB) can unpause the game, so post here when you want it done.

[Donovan Zoi]

Templars requested, and were granted, a 24-hour pause. It looks to me like you can restart the game if you'd like.

[Krill]

Anyone (not just RB) can unpause the game now...just post here when it's done.

[mostly-harmless]

Game is resumed. 29hours on the clock.

Since we've had a nice, long time to think about this turn, can the remaining teams play and hit enter as soon as they can so we don't have to wait for the full 27 hours to count down. Cheers.
