Hmmm. Many of the wise strongly warn against it.

FinalG- Is there another form of compensation we could arrange for your lost turn? A cease fire for a couple turns and some gold/gems? Let us know.

PS Can you extend this turn 24 hrs?

Otherling · #2 January 25th, 2011, 06:22 AM

I've extended things another 24 hours while we work this out. I have no objections to a rollback, assuming that's workable. What do we need here?

Finalgenesis · #3 January 25th, 2011, 09:34 AM

It's okay, I'm not looking for compensation. It seems from replies in your thread that I can't get a rollback without the risk of ruining it for someone/everyone, I'm satisfied with the verdict, thanks for your efforts sanj! It's just not meant to be.

Should I look for a sub or are we okay with me turning AI? If AI I'll use 1 turn to pay back (or try to) what I owe before going AI, I won't be do anything with the turn except send out gems/items, so feel free to pick over the lean carcass and grab some freebie provs.

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm bailing out here, I am more then happy to fight a doomed war to the bitter end and get some good bruises from human players (and hopefully give some), whereas putting time + effort into a game that stales me out of the blue (twice) due to a bug is too painful to put up with and continue investing efforts into, I hope everyone understands. I suppose now that I'm aware of the timer bug for this game I can compensate in various ways to prevent future server screws if I stayed, but the damage has already been done and I can't find the will to pick up the pieces for a second time.

Edit: no reply from llama regarding the timer issue yet, but anyway it should no longer be one once I'm out of this game.

Best wishes then FinalG. I'm not in to spankings but I greatly enjoyed your cunning mischief. Also, mightly Volt is a still living legend. With the Aegis.. well... nuff said. (though Bob the Vastness is far more dear to me and Agartha looks forward to his return from the void with sweaty palms and palpitating hearts).

Indeed, Volt with Aegis is one thing I wanted to try out, unfortunately he's probably dead due to the stale. I guess I'll catch a glimpse of the horrific state of the catastrophic turn when I check in to settle the repayments and stuff.

Just to check, is 15:33 Jan 27th the hosting time people are seeing on the server now? It would be funny to stale another one again as a farewell gift from the server.

That's indeed the correct hosting time.

Mauxe · #7 January 27th, 2011, 11:15 AM

I screwed up my timing this turn as well - kind of stupid as it's even posted above but I guess I was in a hurry.

Doesn't look like I will make it to either one of my Dom machines prior to hosting.
Sorry - I don't want to be a staller. I guess I need to start jotting down the deadline in EST so I don't screw up again.

Could I please get a 12 hour extension for the current turn? I thought it was due on monday, but I can't get it in before very late this evening.

Otherling · #9 January 30th, 2011, 08:05 AM

I may or may not have extended the turn. That is, I told it to postpone hosting, and it said it would, but the server still lists the turn as being due Sunday, and the admin log doesn't show the postponement. So your guess is as good as mine on when it'll host.

Finalgenesis · #10 January 30th, 2011, 09:49 AM

I'm seeing 16:35 GMT on Sunday January 30th as the host time, but I smell another timer glitch so don't trust that, someone else can confirm whether this (new? I don't recall the original host time) hosting time matches what they see.

On another note, after finally checking my turn and doing it with just tying up loose ends and other commitments in mind, I ended up doing the turn with some diplo correspondence on the side. I'll skip to just say that the mad dreams still call to me and I'll shamelessly stay, There is also a new loose end requiring payback to ensure we settle all our debt.
