RBP7 IT and Tech Issues Thread

I believe to avoid misunderstandings you should log out if you're last to play and then not log in until after two hours pass.

Agreed. I have just ended turn second to last, which was not my intention, its just how things always end up given China TZ and the order in which I play my turns. So it happens a lot, and its not intentional. (I try to play all my PB turns + FFH turns at the same time so that I don't have to start up my windows simulation multiple times a day. Takes 10-15 minutes to start windows+5-10 to start civ because I still have macOS running Windows running civ and everything lags to hell.)

So question, I find this turn that there is an opportunity for Catwalk to move a warrior towards me at the end of this turn and then kill a scout of mine if I don't log in before he plays again. There are still 4-5 hours left in the turn. If catwalk end turn in the next hour, I should be able to log in after he ends turn and move my scout to safety during the two hours before he can play again. If I don't log in and he logs in again after 2 hours he can kill my scout and it would be legal. This is correct yes?

That sounds right to me.

Unfortunately your question is both too late and not bizarre enough to qualify you for the Catwalk Award. You will have to get it some other way...

Damn I was sure I could get that all wrapped up.

Had to find what circuit did what in my basement and ended up cutting power to the server, so reloaded to ASM's login. Sorry ASM, you'll need to re-play.

Also I accidentally loaded the RBP6 iteration of Civstats with the RBP7 profile. It's fixed now, but the Civstats log will look really weird for a bit

Bah! You tricked me! I got the email for the new turn, went over to my computer, started up Civ, and then came to the forum and to look at civstats only to find out there was no turn as two people still need to play.

Okay, now how is it that folks who hadn’t even met me got completely up in arms about me moving twice in half an hour a while back, but no-one has even commented on this? Apparently the persecution I experienced earlier was indeed just a bias thing.

Um, maybe chill a moment before you presume the villagers are coming with pitchforks? It's only been a few hours, I can't imagine more than a few people have noticed by now. Or perhaps you are the first to notice, because I just got wrapped up in the fact that there was a new turn (yay, 2 in one day for me! ) and didn't even notice that HitAnyKey doubled turned.

Um, if you look at the full log you missed something:

I did my turn an hour after last turn started. I simply logged in tonight after I saw mackseven logging in to do their turn (as they were last to play). My turn was already done. I was just online for the turn flip. I guess if you are logged in for the turn flip, it shows the "Finished turn" thing even if you've already finished your turn earlier.

It's more the fact that the first person to jump on my back last time was apparently logged in this time when it happened. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.
