PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

[The Panther]

I guess I am cheating now, according to the message screen. Some very odd things are going on, which probably explains the cheating message. I had a black knight become a commander the previous turn and he has quite nice magic skills. Just this past turn, a ghoul commander (with a bunch of nice artifacs!!!) appeared out of nowhere.

I think the game got a bit messed up with the replaying of all the turns over the past few weeks and we are headed for a Nagot error.

I must admit I'm not really adverse to some strange happenings, should spice up the yarns... now if only I had something interesting happen...

Thanks to many hiccups, we are still in the vicinity of turn 30, or halfway through. It is of course wonderful to have 5 of 9 folks keeping up to date. YS1 was down to 2 by what, turn 15 or so?

I note that through intention or coincidence, a most of us had at least somewhat momentous happenings in turn 30: Ashembe's death, what looks like Aftial's rebellion and Ghost's finale, the opening of the Ether Gate, and poor Galameteia's final appearance.

To close out this ramble, I'll just say that I counted words, and collectively we've put out about 75,000 words of fiction so far. If we add even another 50,000 in the next 30 turns, that'll make an average-sized novel.

So here's to another 30 turns, and may each yarn come to the close it deserves.

I second djo's comments, this game has been very successful for producing stories.

I am concerned about the problems with this latest turn though. Will these errors sprial out of control and produce an unplayable game in just a few turns? Is the problem as simple as hosting the turn with some one person's incorrect turn (i.e. a turn 30 based on an old version of turn 29)?

I have not had experience with games going out of sync before, but I imagine it is bad or the death of the game.

I would also like to add that, as much as it has been a pain sometimes to have to replay turns, I would far rather the game not run into fatal errors and die horribly. I don't mind if the oddness doesn't spiral out of control -- I was all set to incorporate Kaspar the preternaturally-smart city guard into my yarns a few revisions back -- unless it means the end of the game.

So... how are we going to resolve this current problem?

Well, its your call. I can rollback the turn yet another time if thats what you guys want.
