E-mail notification is still broken. I'll work on that.

[Zooko]

I think I fixed e-mail notification.

I have now fixed all three of the "problems with TCP/IP games" that we discussed earlier. If anybody has any other suggestions about how to improve the serving of this game I'd like to hear it.

I see that Panther has been overtaken in the Hall of Fame by that upstart Peneios.

Now if I only knew whether either of them were my enemies then I would know whether to worry about a sudden strike by a super powerful Pretender...

Wait a minute. I understand the halting now. I understand we're waiting for Panther to get his computer up and running, that's fine.

However, once his computer is working... why no clock?

[Zooko]

It was as per Panther's request.

Now that you've expressed concern -- I was a bit concerned about it too -- I'm going to set it back to 48 quickhost, but if someone notifies me via e-mail or via a post to this list that something has come up and neither they nor their partner can make moves then I'll stop the clock for them.

I thought of another reason I dislike TCP. It's too easy to accidently upload your turn before you're ready.

[archaeolept]

you can still reupload, unless you were last, in which case tough

Ioticus - The best method for playing TCP/IP is as follows:
1. Connect to the game and select your nation.
2. Immediately exit the network game WITHOUT saving anything. To be safe, I always hit the little box with the 'X' in the upper right corner.
3. Open Dominions from your desktop, load the correct saved game, and play your turn to your heart's content.
4. When you are happy with your turn, go back to the network game and connect again.
5. Your new turn will automatically upload into the server.

This avoids the annoying procedure of accidently ending your network turn without doing anything.
