FailedReality's Pitboss (1st - Vanilla)

Did we find a player for the Russians?
 
Hey guys, I'll be taking over for Russia. I haven't played pitboss before... so do I need any passwords or anything?
 
I would like to make a proposal, concerning wars and turn-taking protocol.

I do not like that, with simultaneous turns, that it becomes advantageous to wait as long as possible before making a move, or that a player can exploit someone not being able to be at their computer and making two subsequent quick moves to gain a victory(or a defender can rush and draft a unit or such)... it is one of the reasons I desired to play a game outside gamespy.

These are tactics that rely on things OUTSIDE of actual game mechanics and skill to win.

My proposal is thus. Once a player declares war on another, an artificial turn order is set up between the combatants. The aggressor takes their turn first, and afterwards the defender makes moves. If allies enter the conflict, then whole teams take their turn at once.

If a 3rd, or 4th, team enters, then they take their turns 3rd or 4th.

Of course common sense applies... you don't have to wait for things thatdon't involve military moves... if a team skips their turn the team that goes 2nd can go ahead of them, etc...

what do you guys think? Any other ideas?
 
I think we all respect and feel where you are coming from.

However the following sounds way too complicated.

"My proposal is thus. Once a player declares war on another, an artificial turn order is set up between the combatants. The aggressor takes their turn first, and afterwards the defender makes moves. If allies enter the conflict, then whole teams take their turn at once.

I noticed that we are lucky to get everyone to take their turn let alone enforce complicated turn procedures.

I will of course bow to the wishes of the host.
 
ok - server back up, however IanDC's recovery save was bad and when I loaded Gozer's save, there were no turns showing up, so I just rolled back to the last turn which now enabled 3 more hours on the turn. So New turn 18 hours left... Sorry for the delays..
 
it just takes about 20 min at the end of the turn to start a new turn.
so u cant connect for 20 min or so. Dont aks me why.
 
Anyone know where Forester has been? Might just be the uploader messing up and not showing him logging in, but I think it's saying he hasn't logged in the game since the 17th. Last login here was on the 20th. Not complaining, just curious if he told anyone.
