Good game rabbits, pity it ended for you. Thanks for playing.

3 who made themself available for playing turns. Most of the others were there to learn or observe (or for roleplay).

It seams as the rumor of our death was false.

[Zoid]

There's a fair bit of confusion going on now...

Yes rabbits are back in playing...hopefully this kick to ai after playing turn and take over again next turn won't happen again as it is a known exploit to get ai bonuses.

Um ya

For the record, Templars are against AI take overs, and against zapping teams from the game.

Get your collective houses in order and play the game, thats what you signed up for when you signed up for this DemoGame. If you can't play till the bitter end, then don't sign up.

I don't see how that would be an exploit; the AI is on Noble in MP games and doesn't have any bonuses of significance at that level. Unless takeover AI is handled differently from game-starting AI, but I am not aware that is the case.

Hook me up with a copy of BTS, and I'll ensure we never miss a turn.

This game is on prince correct?

I would like to help but I don't know how from here (Au).

I recall the game being on Prince, but even if the game were only on Noble, the AI gets a huge inflation reduction compared to a human on that level.

Granted it's still very early for inflation to be a significant factor but if the game were much later on it would be.

Also, I think the AI gets a few more zero upkeep units than a human does on Noble as well. If Rabbits were over the free suport limit for a human at the time, this would be a minor savings of gold they experienced.

Team RB is protesting about Templars recent illegal move, violating the agreed ruling on turn order and time frames, by moving units after their assigned time slot.

Proof is visible for Krill in the Team RB forums. Templars, of course, know which particular move we are concerned about.

I paused the game until the issue is resolved.

A suggested solution is to move another unit (of the same type) back to where the offending unit came from. This way the situation will be reset to the time when Templars finished their time slot.
And it possibly is also the fastest way to continue with the game.

A copy of the relevant admin ruling posted for reference:

1) RB has the first 16 hours of the turn to make moves. We have the full 16 hours, the other teams cannot move, upgrade or promote any units during this time. They can of course conduct trades, alter builds, civics, etc.

2) The order for the other two teams should be fixed for the remainder of the war. Templars->Imperio is probably most fair based on the order they've been finishing their turns, but if one team fails to take their turn in the alloted 16 hours, then that turn is forfiet for moving units. And I am watching.

3) 16 hours/16 hours is a workable arrangement, but if the first of the allied teams ends their turn early and then allows the other to play, that is acceptable. As long as the movement rules remain in effect.

[Krill]

Templars, I need to know everything you moved when you logged in the second time to the game. Please PM me the details.

OK, keep the game paused. I'm looking into the siuation. Depending on if that was the only unit moved, I'll have a ruling as soon as the templars reply to me.

[mostly-harmless]

Game unpaused. 7hours left.
