Team Pitboss Game

[Maga_R]

I am OK with save from the beginning of the turn 1230 AD (March 21th) I remember well what I did and also described it to my subs, so there are notes about my moves. Beginning of turn 1240 AD will likely be after AI moved, since he seems to move at the very beginning, so it would be too late. Any save from turn 1230AD would be good. Please let me know how to proceed, especially if I will be supposed to unpause a game - I do not know how to do it.

I mentioned AI double move in reply to Cal's remarks that it should be some "wrondoing" to merit a reload. From what my sub tells me, AI's moves were disastrous anyway, as one would expect based on SP experience.

The game has been reloaded from the 1230 AD Autosave, which is the beginning of that turn. There is 23 Pitboss hours on the timer after the reload.

Do note that the game is not paused anymore.

That being said, as the majority of the players seem to be in agreement that a reload can be granted, I will grant the reload on the condition that every player to his best ability tries to copy the moves he or she did and do not attempt to take advantage of this reload. Obviously that does not relate to the war between Maga and Majic, as Maga will be doing different moves than the AI did, and Majic should be allowed to do different moves related to the new strategy that will be done by Maga accordingly.

I'm back so I can try to replicate my moves. However, I must confess that my memory is not so perfect that I can replicate my play accurately several turns back. Aside from couple of major things I don't really remember what I did. E.g. my worker moves and other small stuff might be quite a lot off. Of course I will not intentionally abuse the confusion.

I think it matters most for those in war.

Thanks, everybody!

No problem Aivo. As I wrote: to the best of your abilities. You don't need to perfectly mimic your former moves, just the general idea/strategy. And as 2metraninja points out, it's the war participants who are the most important factors in this.

Great that things are moving again. Who is playing for Maga now btw? I'm just asking because it was said 2metra would play some turns because Maga was spoiled. But civstats say Maga logged in before the reload and is also playing the turn.

Hi,

I played my turn myself, never heard 2metra planned to play for me? You should be happy, he is much better at war than me - although he would probably simulate my level of play if he would ever play for me (so far he never did).

I did logged in when I came back to see what is going on - my Civstats was always showing the clock ticking.

I do not understand the concern of me being "spoiled" - you took two of my cities and obviously saw a lot of my territory, city defenses etc. Anyway, I am not supposed to mimic AI moves so naturally you will adjust your movements, so I do not see any problem with spoiling on my side. Anyway, as I wrote even battle that was supposed to be replayed - and in which I lost no unit previously - this time ended with my GG unit lost :-( and another one. But that is OK, it is unrealistic to expect that anybody would ideally repeat the moves at that level of complications.

If you insist - and 2metra agrees - I will not object to 2metra playing for me next couple of turns, although I do not understand rationale and I actually think it may be to my advantage I played the current turn (1240 AD) before reading it.

Also, IIRC we have new random seed on reload option on. So there is no telling what will happen in the battles.

I will be away from 5th to 25th.

barbu1977 will play my turns.

I'll be available for PM here, though, only might be slow to respond.
(and I might not look into this thread daily)

O_O vacation?

 

[socralynnek]

O_O vacation?

Business trip, so to say... (that's why I am probably available for PMs)

 

[Maga_R]

I cannot log into game - tried several times :-( - anybody else having problems?

As I just posted in the main server thread, I took the server offline because I needed to test something. Turns out the test was positive, and that I have identified the problem (thank you, 2metraninja, for your suggestion the other day! You were right!).

If you want to play your turn and you can play it within the next 15 minutes, send me an email at caledorn at gmail dot com and I will temporarily load the game so you can log in and so your turn. Otherwise you will have to wait until tomorrow as I am going to reinstall the server now.

 

[Maga_R]

Hi Caledorn.

there is no hurry at all, I was just confused as civstats was not yet showing game disconnected and I was afraid I will loose a turn again. I hope that the turn will not end earlier than 24 hours from now? Thank you for all your hosting efforts!

 

[Caledorn]

As the games will be down for a while, I will ask people to pause the game (and the ISDG) when everything is back up, so don't worry. You will not lose a turn, I promise

 

[Maga_R]

Great, thanks!

It's good to have hacker in the team, just as much as to have a ninja too

You are welcome.

 

[Caledorn]

The game is now up and running again, with 11:46 left on the timer. I have no ability to log in and pause this game, so please please pause the game whoever logs in first, so we don't need any reloads.

Thanks!

Just tried to log in and wasn't able to connect.

And just to mention it again... I will be unable to play for a 60 hour period starting 12 hours from now. So if someone could sub for me for a turn or two that would be awesome. Is anyone available? If not then perhaps a short pause until I return? I know the game has already had a few delays though so I understand if a pause would not be in order.
