Turn Discussion

Well, if you knew what the response was going to be, why did you pause the game?

Umm, we didn't? Just knew one was due...

 

[Niklas]

The game has been unpaused, sorry once again for the delay. We have 15:40 left on the timer, hopefully we won't use all of those.

 

[Kaleb]

Oh the irony, team MS complaining about the game being held up...

 

[HUSch]

Til today our team has played allways in the correct time. That is more than you can say.

 

[General_W]

Let's not start a flame war here gentlemen

In point of fact, I think MS did pause the game on one occasion and (according to Memphus, who keeps track of this sort of thing) has gone over the 24 hour "limit" twice.

But who did what is really beside the point.
Everyone is a little edgy with the slow pace of the game over the past two weeks.

Let's just all agree we'd like the game to move a bit faster (regardless of who is currently holding the save) and hopefully every team can just personally commit to not pausing the game unless it's a really dire situation. Pauses for the sake of convenience are perfectly legal under our rules - but if everyone does it we end up like this.

It's always probably going to seem legitimate when it's your team pausing, and abusive when it's someone else.

Let's just all take a step back, and try to improve play times for the only team you actually have any influence on... the one you're a member of.

 

[Kaleb]

Yeah, ouch. and I also don't recall us ever pausing the game... but anywayz

But I concur with General W

Yes Sir I'll try to speed it up!

Team SANCTA (A.K.A. Me just now)

Has paused the game. There is approximatey ~30 Minutes on the clock left.

It is currently Saturn's Turn.

However, no one from Saturn has even logged into the game today. On top of this they did not receive thier full notice for thier 24 hour turn window.

If this is indispute by anyone, the time can be subtracted from SANCTA's pause time on our next turn.

As we are the only team that had yet to pause in this game, and still see no reason to pause on our turn this was not an easy descision. (and one many of the team members could be agaisn't )

[Lord Parkin]

Thanks, Memphus. We'll play soon.

 

[DMOC]

Yes, thanks again.

Just to clear up any confusion or hard feelings- our notification to Saturn on the turn tracker was 6 hours late because the turn autorolled on us without knowing, not because we just forgot to post. I guess someone unpaused the game and didn't tell us...

Anyways, I posted as soon as I saw the turn finished and was keeping track of the timer. I was ready to pause to prevent a reload but Memphus beat me to it. So overall no harm, no foul. In the future lets just all make sure to post in the turn tracker if you unpause the game!

 

[Memphus]

FYI Civ Stats says the MS ended thier turn. This isn't true. Upon logging in it is still thier turn and the game is paused.

 

[Indiansmoke]

It looks like Oyzar unpauzed the game and the turn auto rolled for us and we realized it too late, some of us were still discussing what moves to do..

Normally I would ask for a reload but it looks like Sancta will not like that.

In any case please be carefull in the future, when we pause the game it is for a reason.

 

[Memphus]

@Indian smoke check again? in the game it still says MS is up? (the * isn't beside thier name)

Edit: n/m that was back for your turn i get it now.

Normally SANCTA might be open to the reload (reluctantly, but would understand), but in this case (war) a new RNG could drastically change the course of the game.

 

[Niklas]

Did MS get to play their turn? HUSch said he would play Tuesday. If they didn't, a reroll is rather inevitable.

MS have yet to complete thier turn. Civstats says they finished, but upon loging in they have not. The turn is with MS with ~6 hours on the clock (paused)

 

[Niklas]

Ah, nvm for me as well, I too was fooled by the previous turn vs this turn. Carry on then.

No hard feelings. As you say, people in general just need to be more careful about notifying whenever they want to change anything to do with the turn timer - be it pausing, unpausing, or asking for a reload.

Basically what it meant was an important unit was a turn behind where it should have been

SANCTA will probably be able to guess which one I'm talking about and will know the significance of that. Oh well...

But that wasn't why I came to this thread - getting sidetracked - what I wanted to say was I can't log in to the server! It times out when trying to contact host.

So is that Paris? Or is that another unit cause our move could depend on that.

Confirmed I can't get into the game either...
