Turn Discussion

[Provolution]

Our turnplayer had a technical breakdown. System froze etc.

 

[Memphus]

but someone else on the team played? isn't that the point of the team? that if one player can't play someone else does?

 

[Provolution]

No, it happened during his shift, messing up the session.

 

[Krill]

So...you want a reload to fix the issue? Because a pause won't fix it.

 

[Memphus]

our turn is 100% documented and I can reproduce it. but the longer we wait...

 

[Provolution]

Yes, a reload is necessary, as stated by said turnplayer.

 

[Krill]

All Kaleb said was "We're done". Asking for a reload instead of posting "We're done." would have been more helpful in attaining a reload.

 

[Provolution]

You are perfectly right about that Krill, but he got unlucky, and I think I leave it for him to explain himself. There was obviously a crash, as he stated.

 

[Kaleb]

I've pm'ed Daveshack and asked Ginger Ale to look into it.

I'm not sure what the rules for a reload are and if we qualify, so I'll leave them to adjudicate. It's logged in our forums I don't think we need to explain more here.

 

[cav scout]

The reload we want if approved is: 1/22 3:18 PM turn roll 2080BC

 

[Renata]

So we'd need to replay a turn, if this goes through?

 

[Provolution]

Yes, there has been a technical issue that caused the problem.

 

[HUSch]

Ok!
GA will decide and then the game 'll be on.

 

[HUSch]

I connect with the game and then there is automatic pause, without any doing from me. after operate the pause-key, came the normal "waiting for other civ".

Not to be NOSEY....but I can't find in the rules what qualifies for a reload...

If it was a "misclick", then I'd be inclined to follow the HoF or GOTM procedures where it has to stand.

I am just not clear what sort of "technical" issues there can be...either the game crashed or not! If it crashed, reload, if not, then, well, NOT.

 

[Renata]

Could somebody please RE-pause the game? I don't know why you set the timer going again, HUSch -- whatever the heck is going on with Kazakhstan, we Cavaleiros are up and would prefer not to have the timer run out on our turn without our knowledge, you know?

I would do it myself but can't get to my CIV computer right now.

 

[Ronnie1]

I paused it...about 14 hours on the timer when restarted.

 

[Kaleb]

How quickly does Ginger Ale normally take to look at things like this and are there any other admins that could adjudicate?

I had a bad case of lag if you must know, and it resulted in more than one click that shouldn't have been. Sorry about all of this.

 

[DaveShack]

I sent a PM, just in case nobody else had previously.

 

[Lord Parkin]

You'd probably have to PM him, I suspect he doesn't check threads he hasn't posted in.

Onto the issue: sorry, but I'm not at all happy about reloading due to a misclick. Saturn had a misclick in the early game (the first of the game, in fact), and we had to continue.

Play on. Deal with it. Live with it.

We did.

Argh, misclicked a move. (If you accidentally press the right mouse button while loading the game, your units run off on their own...)

Ah well, SANCTA is up I guess.

Actually, it appears that you can't cancel move orders in-between turns, so our Scout will roam wild next turn as well before we can do anything. Could we perhaps have a reload of our present turn to fix this?

So, is the reload still requested? If so, I guess we need the official team optinions and I guess 4 of 5 teams approving.

It wasn't an official approval from me, we haven't really discussed it(also did you suddenly agree or did you just not read peter grimes post?)...

It was just me speaking ("Fine with me"), to get some responses going. Time is short, the more turns are played, the less sense it makes to reload.

Well if the consensus is to reload i am fine with that....however in a GOTM if you misclick you live with it.....it sucks....

Doubly so if the misclick happens before you've even loaded the game...

Never mind, plako managed to cancel what would have been the second move from the misclick.

We'll be good sports and play on.
