Gotm17 Submissions 172 Recv'd - Now Closed

[Oddible]

I just submitted - it being March 31st. But I couldn't finish my game. It started crashing a lot around 1900 and every turn thereafter. In fact, it doesn't crash unless I try to go to the Domestic Advisor (F1). So is really unplayable at this point. Yuk

I just can't make it.
Anyway, thanks for the extra chance Creepster.
It just gets too busy with Tournament, GOTM and some other stuff.

I will make sure GOTM 18 will be ready in time.

In my GOTM15 I gifted all my cities except the one closest to an enemy AI, moved the units out of that city, disbanded my capital and then declared war on the guy with units near my last city. One turn later the game was over in time to submit.

Since you retain most of your score while doing this you could submit and not take the hit to your score average that you would for not submitting at all.

Of course if your goal is to only submit wins then see you next month!

Hari Kari!

I have to remember that for next time I run out of time.
I just got home from work, I don't think I'm on time to do that just now. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.

I just had a quick thought about it, and it really isn't in my playing style. I know I'll get 0 points. But I'd rather have 0 points than having a defeat.

Anyway thanks again for the advice.
I'll just continue playing my game (if I have time besides GOTM 18) and see how I did compared to those who did submit.

@ oddible - that sounds like the problem I had. Did you add a barbarian worker to one of your cities? After I emailed cracker and creepster about it, they were able to give me a workaround: either

- abandon the city which had the barbarian worker (by right-click), or
- simply never use the F1 screen or go to that city's screen.

I found the second would be unworkable, so I abandoned my city after building a settler from it to resettle. Since it wasn't a critical city, it didn't have much impact on my game. I know that it's too late to submit now, but if you'd like to complete the game for your own enjoyment, you could try this.

The last of the results are in and now being processed. Please review the posting to make sure your name is there. If there are any problems PM me ASAP. There are some name listed that we need a copy of your saved file. The one we received was either not there or corrupt.

This month we received 172 games. An awesome number!! Great job out there guys. We will post the results as soon as we can.

Creepster,

I was away from my computer and Internet for 2 weeks and I just got back today and I read in the topic that my submitted file that I sent before 10th of March is corrupted or something.

But as I see im over the deadline now. Can you make it possible for me to resend the save file today?
Before I left i have seen my submitted save file in the list of received files and I tought everything is fine...

You can resend your file if the previous one was corrupted and is listed as such. Just try to make it quick.

kmark, Yes please send it in. This is one of the reasosns it takes a few days to get the results published. We have to sort through the saves to make sure tha they are good.

So please send it in ASAP.

No, Renata's a nickname I've been using online since ... a long time . 'Renate' was my middle-school German class 'name', which is where I got it from. But I get that question a lot, often in Portuguese.

You're allowed to read any thread on the forum except the ones marked 'Spoiler', and even those you can read once you've met the requirements - those requirements will be listed in the first post in the thread.

Ok I have submitted it again just now.
Found out what was the problem: accidentally putted a space into the file name. I have submitted it again fast and sent the wrong again , BUT 10 secs later I realized my fault and submitted the correct one... I hope this isnt confusing. It should be fine now.

Anyway, thanks for the flexibility.

Arrrghhhh! gotm17 was the first game I've ever played out to the bitter end, even after it became clear I wasn't going to win... just wanted to see where i'd end up statistics wise. Finished it with two days to spare, sent it in, and then sometime during the interim between that and finding out that the submission hadn't worked, i failed to notice myself erasing all the files in my saves folder!

Oh well, I'll be aiming for the middle of the pack next month so watch out!

Should have posted this along time ago..

When I submitted my save I believe I put in my victory condition as being conquest. Infact it was a space race victory.

Sorry about that guys
