Turn Tracking Thread II (October 8th onwards) - Page 2

Googlie:
If it is still an open question as to what is going on, see my post in your "urgent" thread in our forum wherein I uploaded a copy of a 'near end of turn' save I got from Maki which you can look at if you haven't gotten one from somewhere else. There seem to be some odd problems with it in addition to the one where it wants to go to the Benedictines. For example, we have better intrinsic drone control than we deserve and the cost of SE changes may be off - perhaps the difficulty level got corrupted somehow? In any case, these symptoms are not present if I load a copy of the Borgs original transmission, so it must have happened during our custody of the turn (SMAX version differences?), so unless it is a truly wierd time-bomb, the problem is no worse than can be fixed by retaking our turn from the middle or the beginning.

I have replicated the problem (can occur when saving mid game play and one can accidentally have quit the game - the AI essentially takes over the faction pre exiting)

I have mandated a replay of the entire turn (so if Makahlua replays there will prolly be 2 or 3 replay messages - maybe 1 or 2 if another player does it (and about a dozen if I were to do it !!!))

Never mind.

As PEACE plays after the CyCon, this current problem with a corrupt .sav file has not affected the CyCon turn.

I can attest that right up to - and including - the turn that CyCon transmitted to PEACE the turns are OK

Most likely "retire" instead of "end turn" has been chosen.

This will give exactly this effect - the game jumps remaining players of current turn and goes to first player (in this game Hive)

Googlie · October 18, 2003, 15:09

Yeah - either Makahlua or some other PEACE member is going to replay the turn (when anyone of them gets round to reading their forum threads, that is)

(I've done it, from the CyCon's pass-on turn, and it does save and exit to the Drones as it should, but while I think I have faithfully replicated all their current turn moves it should be done by one of them)

Just waiting ...........

Here you go - now where's the Dunce cap?

2143 to Hive

Kody · October 19, 2003, 09:30

The turn should be up in about 11 hours. This is only to allow me to sleep and to wait for more than 1 person in the turn chat.

I have placed a *** nudge *** in the CyCon private forum

Maniac · October 23, 2003, 12:24

Sorry! If Drogue doesn't play in the meantime, I'll promise to play the turn within the next seven hours.

As the 48 hour period has elapsed, I have placed a *** nudge *** in the PEACE private forum and asked if an extension is being sought

My apologies, I was away from the computer all day (isn't sharing -fun-?

Check the private forums before you post the turn.

Booya .

Edited to add that the reloads are from dealing with an AI faction(who rang us up before we could even take a move)

Googlie · November 4, 2003, 02:16

Roko ;

Did you remember to e-mail and PM Archaic that the turn was posted? (He'd requested that from Voltaire and subsequently from Kody)

- although I think Minute Mirage played the last few turns -

Never mind - I can hang a post in their Private Forum that the turn is here

G.

Kody · November 4, 2003, 02:29

This place certainly has been quiet of late.

Jamski · November 4, 2003, 13:59

We're missing one Kody

To Rokossovky and any future Hive turn players: Please send a PM to Dean Archaic, when you post the turn here. This will ensure that we'll play our turns in a timely fashion.
