[BtS] Aybraus's Pitboss

[adrianj]

The settler survived!

 

[Aybraus]

And there was MUCH rejoicing.

 

[mikeyia]

Still have to see if i pop a tech from a hut again. May need to reload if not.
Seriously won't matter to me if not.

 

[Aybraus]

you made my heart skip a beat there.

 

[Levgre]

I wasn't able to repeat my turn the same because there was a bear on the tile I moved my scout to last time... seems it didn't matter though.

 

[oyzar]

My warrior that survived last time this time died to a bear...

 

[Rusten]

My warrior that survived last time this time died to a bear...

The reload has proved to be horsehockey for me too.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

Somebody please send or post the connect data. Abry's e-mail does not work.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

OK, I have the connect data; the host needs to boot me to AI so that I can join.

 

[mikeyia]

Maybe I will complain a bit about the reload. Instead of popping a free tech I let loose a barbarian horde and lost a warrior. Oh well crap happens.

 

[Munro]

Thanks for reloading. I'm back from my trip, so will plan to play on unless I hear otherwise. Sorry to everyone who had already played several turns before the reload happened with better luck than now....

 

[whiplash_CDC]

Unless the host gets his act together real quick I will leave this game permanently. He has taken over my civ and refuses to release it back.

 

[oyzar]

You are currently AI so i have no idea how you can't take back control...

 

[Munro]

Uh oh. Maybe Aybraus doesn't have 'take over AI' enabled? Neither of the two AI civs show up in the leader selection screen, which means that now they've been kicked to AI, no-one can take them back.

As far as I know, the only way to fix this is to reload to before they were kicked to AI (and it also means no-one can ever be kicked to AI in the future). Unless anyone else knows of another way?

Fortunately, it looks like they were only kicked to AI last night at about 1:13 am US eastern time (less than 24 hours ago) so the reload shouldn't be too painful. In fact, according to civstats I was the last person to play before the host kicked both civs to AI, so the last autosave before then would be:

\My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Saves\pitboss\auto\Recovery_Munro.CivBeyondSwordSave

Aybraus: any chance you can reload from here? I will avoid logging back in again in the meantime to avoid overwriting the autosave.

Anyone who's played since then will need to replay their last turn.

 

[Ronnie1]

Make a copy of that autosave munro!

 

[Munro]

It's a file on Aybraus' pitboss server - that's just the default location for where they go.. I can't access it though. But hopefully it's there.

 

[Hoplosternum]

Yes. I was wondering why I had been removed from the game....

Still I was coming last anyway with a fairly crappy start

 

[oyzar]

Not having take over AI enabled in such a huge game is a rather big mistake... Maybe we even have to restart...

 

[whiplash_CDC]

The host now has me disconnected from the Hamachi network.

I'm out of here!

 

[Munro]

Aybraus: what's going on in with this game? It doesn't look like you've played your turn in at least the last 2 turns and we're waiting to hear from you about reloading to before you kicked Hoplosternum and whiplash (if he still wants to play) to AI.

In the meantime, I'm not able to log in and play my turns either because it'll overwrite the autosave so that's at least 3 of us that aren't able to access the game right now.

Are you there?

In the meantime, please can someone else (anyone but me, Hoplosternum or whiplash) log in and pause the turn timer so we don't have a bunch of meaningless turns rolling over in the meantime?
