Pitboss BTS: The Angry Barbarians

[Amask]

I think that would be fitting

 

[hsalpihw]

I reloaded civstats and see some sort of bug. The timer and player status are correct but it shows the game at 0 AD. It's actually 880 AD,

 

[Indiansmoke]

I cannot connect, is ip still the same?

 

[Amask]

I can't either

 

[hsalpihw]

It was another network socket errror. Game is back up.

 

[Amask]

a bit over an hour left
gitbliss, DanDRidge, Kaleb, and mikeyia still to play their turn
I paused the game

 

[Kaleb]

thanks, I tried to login last night but couldn't. I won't be able to do my turn for another 7 hours or so

 

[Kaleb]

ok, new turn. thanks for pausing the game for me

 

[Amask]

I'll be away till sunday evening
I've queued up my moves, but if another reload is necessary for whatever reason, could you wait till then?
Barbarians will have a field day if my defensive moves get cancelled by a reload

Another Network Socket Error on 900 AD. That's three turns in a row. I've had that problem in other games hosted. While I've never been able to find the exact cause of this problem my suspicion is that it has to do with incompatibility between the host and some player. Do we have a new player who recently took over for another?

I'll hold the reload until Sunday PM.

 

[hsalpihw]

BTW, I'd like to get another one going. Anybody who can take over hosting duties here?

It must be me, sorry.

I'm having to connect with a mobile "broadband" device due to a cock up by our ISP. I won't be on proper broadband until Thursday - I think I should probably try and get a sub until then.

 

[Amask]

thanks for waiting

 

[Kaleb]

did we reload the last turn? or have we just carried on from where the last crash was? I'm a little confused.

And if it's always me that crashes the game I need to find a sub until my connection is fixed

A reload is needed to resume the game after a crash. My guess is that whiplash used the last recovery save, so whoever took their turn last before the crash should retake it.

That might be impossible to figure out, though, without whiplash at least, what with civstats going crazy and all.

 

[hsalpihw]

with the network socket error the game doesn't exactly "crash". It keeps on running but nobody can connect to it. When I see the nse I just save it while its still running, and reload that save file. There is no need for the last player to replay the turn.

1/2 hour to go and Kaleb and Dandridge have not played it.

Let me know if a load back is warrented.

 

[Kaleb]

I'm actually done with my turn, just DDR to go

 

[Dandridge]

The game is paused and when I log in I'm stuck at the diplo screen. Please someone unpause the game. I may miss my turn, but I don't think it matters much.

 

[Indiansmoke]

Ok unpaused it
