To play, or not to play, that is the question. Oh, well. I guess I'll think about it more when I see a non-newbie join.

But to actually join the game you have to create your Pretender in DomII, then connect to the mosehansen server on that game's port number and pick your race. You don't join the game through the web interface.

[djtool]

sheesh some of us have to work ya know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

i'll start the game.

I guess my level of skill depends on what nation...but i'm still learning that's for sure.

Never mind about Jotun. I'll be Ermor.

You seem to have picked up a lot of nameless anonymous players. Either they're the newbies who haven't figured out how to sign-in on Mosehansen, or 10-to-1 says that they stale and AWOL.

[djtool]

well if that happens i believe I can set them to AI.

if not then I'll heave a sigh and chalk it up to learning via experience.

"You seem to have picked up a lot of nameless anonymous players. Either they're the newbies who haven't figured out how to sign-in on Mosehansen, or 10-to-1 says that they stale and AWOL."
I'll take that bet.

Newby who forgot how to sign on

[Boron]

question why do i not see a md5 checksum for me ?
every player expect me has listed one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Norfleet]

Are you Jotunheim? Mose's server may be bugged with Jotunheim, as was reported Last game.

[Boron]

no i am arco

[Norfleet]

Arco probably has the same problem. It's another nation whose .2h isn't quite named like the nation itself is. Just like how Jotunheim's 2h is just "jotun.2h", Arco is even more complicated at "arcoscep.2h".

[Esben Mose Hansen]

I just fixed arco for this problem. As a special service, you can all help check the rest of the nations <evil grin/>

This is racial discrimination! Why does Man get its full name in its abbreviation, but Ulm doesn't?

[Boron]

ah thnx http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
any other nation which has this problem ?

[djtool]

Last turn I took i'm pretty sure that that drool guy went stale. If someone can would you check on that? if he goes stale the days i'm gone I will set his nation to AI when i get back on monday (tomorrow) evening.

[drool]

yes you are right. i was out of town for a weekend. so i was forced to make a stale turn. these things happen to happen.

[Pickles]

Hi
I have just accidentally logged on to this as Abysia (I copied the short cut to set up another game but did not edit it). If he is passworded he will be OK of course. I panicked & closed as soon as I did this & did not really see what happenend & obviously do not want to do it again to check. I cannot contact Tannath directly so could we pause the game until he can confirm I have not messed him up - we have 12 hours anyway.

Sorry about this

You'd only have overwritten his turn if you actually had an abysia.2h present for that game, or you actually viewed his turn, then pressed "End Turn" after doing something or nothing. If you freaked out the moment you saw the flag screen, nothing happened. If you freaked out after actually viewing the turn, and you pressed "End Turn", then bad things have happened. The easy way to verify this without doing it again is to inspect your Dom2 folder for that game, and see if you now have an abysia.2h present in your directory that corresponds to that game.

[Pickles]

OK I have no .2h file for abysia so there is no problem & I can go back to sleep

Thanks Norfleet.
