New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[Alneyan]

Remake a turn file and send it to Pasha if you feel you should make significant changes to it, or otherwise do nothing and wait for turn 3 (I already converted your turn 2 file to this newer turn 2 game).

Speaking of which... Make sure you do NOT use your previous .2h file, in any way or manner, as doing so could result in massive pain for you. Basically, if something has changed between your two order files (and things almost always change), it can result in things not working straight at all. So start over your turn file.

Alneyan,

I am continually surprised by your abilites in getting these games going. Just this morning, I had visions of a complete new restart and another week or 2 to get RAND going.

Now I find that you saved all the turn files, recreated the entire game from scratch (making the old fatherland file worthless), loaded all the saved turn files into the new game, and hosted a turn without me having to do a single darn thing!!!

Holy Cow! We are nearly to Turn 3 instead of being a week away from turn 1!!!

Like I said, I am very impressed.


By the way, just use my same Turn 2 file as before since I am cut off from playing until Wednesday evening and I sure do not want to delay this game by maybe tweaking some minor thing or two. Only the mercs would be an issue (I didn't bid on any), and I don't recall seeing that anyone attacked blind on turn 1 (which would not transfer to the new game).

Any brave soul who previously attacked on Turn 2 should send in a changed turn for sure.

That's great that we can restart so quickly. Not that I care so early in the game, but if we sent scouts out no Turn 1 of the last game, and you recreated the game, I'm assuming we have new start locations and any scout orders from turn 1 were canceled. Right? Just curious, because I'm still at work and wondering where I'll be when I get home to check if I want to resend my turn 2 or use existing.

Somehow or another, the new game has the same start sites.

Hi All:

I am happy to keep going, but I don't quite understand what Alneyan did. But, it does not seem that I have all the turn files for all players yet.

Why not just restart the game using the orginal pretender files? Seems to me like the best course of action since we're only on turn 2.

Except that it's taking a week a turn right now.
