Pitboss game within the team

Do you know if anything will have been lost dave?

 

[DaveShack]

I found something really interesting while cleaning up my system a few days ago. Under the saves\multi\auto directory, it creates a recovery save named for a player, apparently when the player joins or leaves. The game looked correct when I reloaded from this other autosave.

If anyone notices (has noticed) anything bizarre in this save, please let me know. We'll go on honor system for that, I trust nobody will use this to overturn a battle result. If it's seriously messed up there is a save from the previous night, but that would lose some data like anything that has been done since about 9pm last night.

BTW it was a power failure that caused this outage. My wife didn't mention it until I asked her why the computer was powered off.

Also, since I'm here, I should mention that I will be away from Aug 11th very early in the morning GMT-7 thru Aug 18th late at night. Those still playing can either take a weeks vacation, play on and hope it doesn't stay active but inaccessible while I'm gone, or find a volunteer to host for those days and I can send a save. I may get around to finding a secure way to log in remotely (must be careful given the IP is posted in a public place) but don't count on it.

www.logmein.com is a really nice remote access system. My only complaint is it can't handle 3d graphics, otherwise I'd be playing civ4 in a browser window at work.

Wish you would have had your vacation coincide with mine. Any chance of changing it back about 4 days.

/joking...Do you want to be my sub-player daveshack. Details still not nailed down since its a job interview trip.(wife's and mine).

 

[Robi D]

Well i was going to ask Daveshack to fill in for me while i was gone for 3 days but doesn't matter now.

BTW does anyone know what happened to the civstats page?

 

[robboo]

got hacked... he said it will be backup in a few days.

 

[BCLG100]

is the game down for anyone else?

 

[robboo]

yep............

 

[RegentMan]

Up for me now.

EDIT - Ooh! Welcome Tubby!

 

[Tubby Rower]

Thanks.... I thought that I would drop in for a visit to see how things were going since I haven't talked to you for a while

 

[robboo]

So how is the visit going...RM being a nice host?

 

[Tubby Rower]

meh.. there's these Mongol's that keep showing up. They keep stealing all of the women. The sort of look like those neanderthals off of the Geico commercials

 

[RegentMan]

Hey! We take pride in our beautiful women!

 

[BCLG100]

so its going off for a week tomorrow?

 

[robboo]

I think he said he would leave it up and hope for good luck?

 

[BCLG100]

ah right ok-sounds like fun

 

[DaveShack]

Actually that was a call for votes from the living : leave it up or take it down?

 

[Robi D]

I think we should take it down for the week just to be on the safe side.

 

[BCLG100]

I dont mind dave whatever is good for you.

 

[Tubby Rower]

take it down. that way RM can think about my units (if Dave hasn't run them off yet) for a week before the 2nd and 3rd wave comes.
