SGOTM 17 - Maintenance Thread

[Duckweed]

Personally, no objection to the extension. However, as the 2nd slowest team in progress, I believe that PD won't need it, OTOH, I'd rush it with my slow running laptop in the last 2 days.

FE. Assuming we can match their great finish.

I doubt it will, thank you for the sarcasm

 

[bcool]

2 weeks would be appreciated.

 

[adrianj]

Misfit Gypsy Nuts are on target to finish within the deadline.

 

[Trystero]

Unusual Suspects should finish on time, but don't object to an extension.

The Shawshank Redemption would still appreciate any extension that can be offered. If all teams end up not needing it, great, call the competition over when the last team is done. But, it would be nice to have a buffer time that other teams are okay with waiting for, since real-life has given our team participation problems.

Besides, sometimes it's fun to actively watch the last couple of teams struggle their way through challenges that your team has already made it through.

I'm not hearing an urgent request for an extension, but perhaps a couple of weeks would make some of you a bit more comfortable. I'll extend to Saturday, 6 July. In practice, due to time zones, that gives a lot of you some of Sunday as well.

Guys! There is a system to protect you from downloading another team's save until the game is over. It remains in force even if your team has finished.

It is not foolproof, and so it may be possible for you to deliberately circumvent it. However, if you get an error message for one download attempt, it is not going to work if you just keep trying more downloads. I am seeing people making multiple failed attempts. Please don't waste your time or the server's

Alan,

Is the 2 week extension too much? Could all teams be realistically finished within the original deadline?

 

[AlanH]

I was asked for an extension. I've given it. I don't really think it would be fair to remove it again, reducing the remaining playing time by 60%.

Unless the teams still to complete all PM me and tell me they only need one week now?

 

[Sun Tzu Wu]

A deadline contraction? Please leave the deadline as is. When the last team has submitted their final save, AlanH can declare the game ended and prepare the SGOTM-17 results as his schedule permits.

Can we have a deadline removal? We need forever time to finish the game

Spoiler :

bad joke bad joke

.....

 

[AlanH]

All the teams are finished, and everyone achieved a victory.

It's after midnight here, so I'll polish up the laurels and publish the final results ... tomorrow

At last I'm able to ask.

What happened to Judaism in the game?

 

[pepe26]

We had a Jew in the game. Toku nabbed it afair.

 

[pepe26]

Impressive display from PD! Well done, guys!

 

[Folket]

In our game Judaism was never founded.

 

[pepe26]

I'm not sure if it's a buff or a nerf... ^^

 

[TalladegaKnight]

In our game Judaism was never founded.

In testing that happened a few times to me. Removing the religious techs would sometimes cause 1 not to be founded.
