Land Ahoy Part II

I got the distinct impression from his post in The Recruitment Centre that he did not agree to moderate. Yoda, on the other hand, expressed some interest, so I will invite him along.

Ok, Yoda agreed, so the next step is to track down the turn. I sent turn 91 to Agagnon some time ago, and that's the last turn I saw.

[ricketyclik]

That's later than my last turn.

Since I have never moderated a game before... someone let me know what is expected. Also, my email address is j_rustad@telus.net

My last was 90 to FlameFlash (as above)

I saw a 91 and passed it along to david on the 6th of July...

OK, main duty is to keep the game moving. All players should cc the turn they send to you, if a player takes more than a couple of days to play, you prompt/next them. Nexting means you open their turn and end it, then pass the next turn on to the appropriate player. The degree you play the turn for the nexted player is up to you.

Another aspect is to keep tabs on whether any cheating is going on... look out for ramp up rush-buying, suspicious troop movements (always heading straight for key objectives through unexplored territory, inexplicable non-entering of ruins, that sort of thing) and for use of a cheat program, ie, impossible gains in production or gold. On the latter, it is worth occasionally randomly comparing all cities from turn to turn, adding up all the gold and production, and seeing if it tallies up with the actual differences.

Fortunately the community is generally not interested in unfair advantage, and doesn't resort to cheating.

Ok, I resent turn 91 to Agagnon, as I suspect that is where our holdup is. Yoda, you should have received a copy of that turn...

Yes, I have a copy and will take a quick look at the situation.

Yoda-

Even if Agagnon wasn't the holdup the first time, he has had the resent turn for well over 48 hours now, and in the interests of getting this game moving again, perhaps you could play his turn for him?

Move done and sent. I did not follow all of the moderator rules as I changed a few things that I thought should be done. I hope everyone doesn't mind.

As long as you do the same for everybody else (like I know you will) I don't care.
