HHhYyeesss, like a BAWSS!

Er, I mean, man, legionaries are pretty good.

I agree. They're even better when undead, and free.

Trying to download turn seven --- tried twice, both times, on opening in Dom4, got "Turn file is corrupted."

Llamaserver FAQ wrote:- Very weirdly, a problem's happened twice where a particular turn file arrives in a player's inbox corrupt. On requesting a resend, the turn arrives corrupt again. But the file's fine on the LlamaServer, and if I change the e-mail address to my own and get it to resend it works fine. Solution: ask the admin to get the file sent to him (by temporarily changing the nation's e-mail address) and have him forward the file to you. The next turn the problem should have gone. This is super super weird, but fortunately also super rare.

I'll resend your turn. If that still doesn't work, we'll contact the admin.

The resent turn is still corrupted.

Okay, I am trying getting the turn sent to myself, then sending it to you. Please PM me your email so I can do that and also set the server back to sending things to you afterwards.

Thank you. Sent.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 9:03 pm

The turn you sent me was still corrupted. I give you permission to attempt to open it (just don't look around too much

)

Sorry for my own delay, I'm at work. Forwarded. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

Urg, lost to indies. At least it wasn't too costly, we both went through half our armies and I'm likely to win in the second strike. Maybe I should have waited for the reinforcement squad after all.

Hey Angelfromanotherpin, just making sure you noticed the post above your most recent one --- we posted at the same time.

angelfromanotherpin · Post by **angelfromanotherpin** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 9:50 pm

Ugh. Unfortunately, I don't have Dom4 at work. That's going to have to wait until I get home.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 12:23 am

Totally fair. Mind making sure the turn doesn't run? I'll be out for a bit this evening (dinner with a friend) but I can check back before bed.

I hate elephants.

That is all.

angelfromanotherpin · Post by **angelfromanotherpin** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 3:59 am

They are pretty hateable.

Ikeren, the turn's corrupt for me as well. What research I've done suggests there's no real recourse but to bite down and take the stale. If anyone has any better suggestions, I'm all ears.

Mmm, elephants.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 6:30 am

Damn. I guess that's that. I suppose it's an outrageous hassle/request to ask everyone to send in blank "stale" turns deliberately so we all stale? Plus entirely unenforceable anyways...

Username17 · Post by **Username17** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 12:12 pm

The existence of repeat build orders that some people use and others don't makes forced stales a completely unfair and impractical way of fixing things. It's early enough in the game that restarting wouldn't be out of the question, but if we decide to not do that the choice is just to accept the lost turn and shake your angry fist at fate.

In the absence of any particular recourse for this problem, I am running the turn. My sympathies, Ikeren.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 5:38 pm

Nah, fair enough. Repeat build orders is a good point that I didn't think about. How common are bugged turns? Is it worth making sure I have repeat build orders on by default just in case?

angelfromanotherpin · Post by **angelfromanotherpin** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 5:49 pm

In my experience, corrupted turns are pretty rare. That said, I usually have repeat build orders anyway, just because the less I have to remember, the better.

name_here · Post by **name_here** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 6:49 pm

It's not uncommon to have one or two dead turns a game, but usually not more.

Hicks · Post by **Hicks** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 5:03 am

Dat turn (08) was a good turn. I think I need a cigarette after that turn. The only way that turn could have been better is if it made me a sammich after I sent it in.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 7:45 pm

I think I just realized that MA Ermor is one of those pain in the ass to fight, pain in the ass to have in the game teams.

Hicks · Post by **Hicks** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 8:58 pm

Yeah... we kinda are. I knew this going in. My one hope is that the more experienced players win and leave me alone, let they open themselves up to a counter-attack from another, adjacent experienced player.
