That's morbidly curious. Was the seventh turn you got normal?

It says:

Apologies for the odd llamaserver behaviour over the last day. It was the result of a double whammy of a power cut at home (killing the llamaserver) and major faults at HostGator (killing the web server). All should be back to normal now.
Turn number 6

Also, waiting for turn file for everyone. I just requested a resend and took a turn from what it sent (which looks identical to the turn 6 I had before).

and yeah, the 7th turn looked normal, but it must have crashed after sending it and rolled back (and then I guess forgot about the 2h files it had received for turn 6).

[lijacote]

I really wish you hadn't done that. Only the three players that failed to send in their sixth turns should have done so now. I sent you an email about this, and posted about it here too.

I hope nobody else does the same thing.

[Shadowlord]

The server page said it had no 2h files...

[lijacote]

You should have more trust in your admin.
OBEY ME!

Note that once the game is rolled back, it will appear that the game is waiting for 2h files from all players. However, the 2h files from last time the turn was played will in fact be there, and will be used if the game hosts without them being overwritten. This can be useful; often, a game is rehosted in order for only one or two players to retake their turns, while everyone else is expected to make no changes. The game admin can therefore wait till just those players have submitted, and then force hosting. None of the other players will stale (assuming they actually submitted a 2h file last time the turn was played).

Llamaserver has the old turn files archived and will use them in the absence of a re-sent turn if doing a rollback.

[Shadowlord]

Ah. Well, I thought of better things to do than what I did the last time anyways.

That's kind of the point why people shouldn't re-send a turn unless they staled. You effectively had twice as much time to think of the best possible way to do your turn. In addition you may have some foreknowledge about what is going to happen in the game next turn so you may have moved in anticipation of whatever that is. Either way you had a clear out-of-game advantage against your enemies.

There's probably no major advantage you managed to get since it's so early in the game though, but it's definitely against the protocol. Seeing how this is a newbie game I'd just let this one slide and assume everyone knows better next time.

[Shadowlord]

That all makes sense, although for the record, since it's so early, I've only met independents, and I didn't really learn anything (and hadn't attacked anything) in my previous submission. The changes were basically due to having actually gotten some sleep and seeing that where I had told my guys to go wasn't the best plan (just from looking at what I could see on turn 6).

[tompliss]

I've only met independents

And my scouts are quite happy about the low number of patrols in your provinces

you have more than one scout atm?
I had to much better things to do than recruiting scouts

[tompliss]

About recruiting better things than scouts...
There is a air item that let submarine creatures come on ground, right ?
Because I would love to throw a shark mounter platoon at my enemies

[lijacote]

There's a level 4 construction item that requires 1A(ir)1W(ater) to craft that you can give to your commanders, but aquatic troops (i.e. non-commanders) can never get on land.

[GP Trixie]

Ok I just resent my turn and everything seems fine.

[lijacote]

Just tompliss, now, then, and we can move on to the real turn 7.

As a reminder, you have to redo the seventh turn entirely: if you've already done it, you must delete your .2h and .trn files, get the new seventh turn .trn file, and do a whole new .2h file.
