Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)

Llamabeast,
Got a message "you have cheated" when starting 1st turn. I thought I didn't need that mod to create my Pretender only to play... What do I do and can I find how my Pretender was changed?

@sansanjuan: You mean WH must be enabled when making the god?

According to the faq it should not matter since it doesn�t affect pretender design...

Looks like we need a restart...

Okay guys - third time lucky!

I retrieved Ylvali's fixed 2h file from the LlamaServer backups (the problem was indeed presumably that you previously made your pretender while running CB) and restarted the game using that.

SSJ - You misread the message, it said that Pythium had cheated. You were fine.

Ylvali - Your animated thingy is cool but inordinately distracting. It's a bit much I think.

Everyone - brilliant, we're off again! Please replay your first turns with the new turn file you'll just have received. Apologies to those who'll be playing it for the third time.

Thanks Llamabeast, sorry �bout the inconvenience.

You might be right about my sig, I made it for another fora and it was appropriate there, but here it might be a bit too much. I�ll replace or remove it.

Doh! Thanks for pointing me straight.

seems the server is down. i'm not getting a conformation when i send in my turn.

same thing on the other game i'm involved in.

anybody else have this problem?

EDIT: other threads using llamaserver confirm, it is down.

I just noticed the crowns on some provinces. Reading a little I found that those are Victory Points. Does that means that we are playing an VP game? How many VPs are needed to win?

llamabeast · #8 February 8th, 2008, 06:41 AM

Yeah, server was down. I have to turn it off to start new games. When I did the final restart last night I was knackered, and forgot to restart it. D'oh!

Anyway, fixed.

The crowns are VPs but we're not playing a VP point game, so they don't bring you victory. They do have some value though: each one produces one candle a turn for its owner.

There are reasons that newbies get 48 hours on the first turn, we need to learn a few things about the system!

"The first turn has 48 hours on the clock in case of problems, subsequent turns will have 24 hours."

"Next turn due: 00:16 GMT on Sunday February 10th"

The deadline isn't passed so it's a bit early to poke anyone.
