Btw, are we doing anything for turn notification - posting here or email?

Guys, there is a WEIRD problem with the game. At least the first three
nation in the list are NOT password protected. I usually try them all
to make sure that no one forgot to put a password, and as I hit nations
1, 2 and 3, I got their turns.

In a game that has such strict communication rules, this is enough to
ruin the game. PLEASE, PLEASE restart.

And let everyone make sure that their nations passwords work. I have
never seen this happen.

Could be those players simply skipped making passwords and in that case it ain�t susch a big deal.

If passwords have disappeared somehow then of course we�d have to restart.

I'm one of these players. I do not remember skipping a password in the last
four years I've been playing Dom 2/3. Using catgod, Minevra shows a password.
It's possible I uploaded an earlier version, but seriously, do you want to ask
yourself, every turn, whether someone will blank your orders, or peek at your
position? I know I do not, and if 3 of the first 3 nations are unprotected,
what are the chances they are the only ones?

In that case I might second a restart. But it would require redesigning and resending all pretenders with no password = big delay again.

I don�t think I would be that worried about abuse really. I trust the participants. I have another game without password and I dont worry a bit. Still I guess it could make a lot of bad feelings if accusations of abuse were thrown around the forum, might be better to be secure.

Lets hear some more opinions on this.

ok for restart

To make things easier during the restart, CU should have people email him their pretenders, as to not have to deal with the interface bug.

fine with restart.

question if we do restart - my capital was on a wasteland - not sure if that was intentional but most MP games I have been in capital is at least a plain province or better.
