Version 3.08 Newbie game (finished)

[lch]

As Sensori wrote, he's just pulling a leg here. I just hoped that Newbies could enjoy their first MP game and have some fun and success even with "weak" MP tactics without being pummeled to death by turn 5-10. As long as that's the case, I don't mind. Should you start a savage bloodbath among them I might emulate LA R'lyeh's insanity and change some of your orders before I host a turn, maybe.

We're waiting for Mow's pretender, then I'll start the game.

[Mow]

Hmm.. I had problems to download the update. Sorry for the delay.

My pretender is on the way.

[lch]

Okay, the game has started now. Everybody should have received a message from the host with the info how to connect to the server etc. - if you have not received the message then please check your Spam folder and add the email address of the host to your Whitelist. If you can't even find it in your Spam folder then report it here.

The timer is set for 48 hours per turn, if you all are done before that then it will automatically host the new turn even before that. So better check back on the game once per day. In case you won't have time to do your turns in time because you'll be travelling or for whatever other reason, please leave a message here in the thread in advance and send me an email (you can just reply to the host messages).

Have a good game and have fun, everybody!

P.S.: In case some other game already uses the same name, please tell me about it and I'll change it.

Hmmm... I've greylisting on my mailserver. And your mailserver tried to deliver the mail only once (10:31:45) and then never again.

Might it be that the mail server you use do not handle RFC correct?

[lch]

I'm using nbSMTP over a smtp relay server for the turn notifications. It is only called once, that's correct. I could switch back to sendmail if you prefer that, although I don't trust it that much.

[lch]

Actually, it seems as if even nbSMTP is resending emails:

Code:

Your message could not be delivered for 24 hour(s).

It will be retried until it is 4 day(s) old.

    is not yet authorized to deliver mail from 451 <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxx> to

    <xxxxx@xxxxxx.de>. Please try later. (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Looks like this game is having a good hosting frequency so far.

Hmmm...

seems that arcor has a bit buggy mail setup. They seems to send out every mail only after more than 4 hours. Then the greylisting ticket is not valid anymore. Also it seems to use different senders for the same mail.

Well, anyway, I got the information from Bluebird as you could see.

We should organize some time when we all get online at once and get a whole bunch o turns done.
