Does this game still have any open slots? Yes, see the last post in page 3 of this thread for info, and feel free to take a free civ. CS

Why not just use the most recent recoverysave? That way only one person has to re-do their turn. Yes I could have done that i guess, I didn't realize that each player creates a recovery save Hindsight is 20/20. CS It depends on the nature of the failure as to whether or not there is a recovery file. Even if there is one, it's hard to verify without civstats. If civstats were running for BtS the host could check to see who the last player was when the failure occurred and look for the recovery file. That file is in the save directory with the format: recovery_[player name] or something like that. Even with civstats it's hard to find the right file as that file name will get overwritten each time a failure occurrs on that player's turn.

After the restart from the save I retook the goody hut that gave me a hand full of change last time to find it housing a brand new technology now ;D. If I remember correctly it was Robotics or something!!!!

When the author updates it I'll have it up and running assuming that we can do that mid game. Until then we'll have to manage with this thread. CS

Ok, i saw something about a ladder when i was skimming through this topic (might have been whip's pitboss not sure) does registering on the forums count as registration towards that?
Also, apologies for being so dense, are we playing with any rules which aren't coded? e.g. no DM's/no war for first 10 turns etc?

yay, glad we got 15. Hopefully missing a few early turns doesn't hurt the latecomers too much.
as for rules, I know DMs are discouraged, other than that, I can't think of anything....

Trying to log in to the game but keep getting hung up on 'connected to server' i've got my firewalls down and logging into other games fine so i'm not sure whether the problem lies with me tbh.

I know it's difficult, and someone might've even said they were away this weekend...but if everyone checked two or more times a day, we might get some extra turns in this weekend (barring server issues, which seem to reset the clock). Worth a shot.
