Kandru System Turn 2

Game Schedule: SMTWTFS at 4:29

This game ran 770185.88 hours early because all players marked their turns ready.

This turn is due: 2/22/2012 4:29:00 AM

Host has run on 33074: Kandru System you may now play turn 2.

-----

BUT THE SYSTEM HAS RUN on the 2/21/2012 4:29:00 AM therefore three players were dropped. All the three Europeans. I got my turn in just by pure luck but me could have been the fourth. ;-)

Please have a look to it for future games. Thanks.

So the host actually ran earlier than it said it was going to? Was that just the email, or did the games page show it was going to run on 2/22?

Sakawa, thanks for you detailed analysis. But I don't think Joshua is reading every game board. You may consider contacing him directly (lower right of the screen) in such urgent cases. I also did it when needed.

What a pity. We waited so long for this game to start. I was longing for an exciting and balanced game with no early drops. That's why I have choosen a senior game. 
So boys, I'm sorry, but if this isn't fixed (which I doubt is possible), I'll also drop. A game with three turn-2-drops is ruined.

We're 4 turns in,  why don't we just reset the game?  Seems a better option than having more people drop.  Either that, or simply revert to the last turn and let the same players take control of their races again.

I'd be in for a restart if that's possible. But if this is too complicated then I don't mind just joining a new senior game. I wait until Joshuas tell us how this will go on and then act accordingly.

Joshua. Thanks for reading.

The email said: This turn is due: 2/22/2012 4:29:00 AM. Perfect plenty of time for everyone around the globe.

but

The host said:  This turn is due 2/21/2012 4:29:00 AM. We got the email on Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 11:08 PM. Just 5 hours and a half before the first host run. ;-)

Agree with you guys. It took nearly a month to fill up all the races. I will be happy to reset the game and restart again or just drop and join a new one. Whatever it is easier it is fine for me. I will wait too for orders.

I was wondering why I was dropped.... especially as I joined on 30/1/12 and have been waiting patiently for the slots to fill up.

Really don't fancy rejoining, after missing 3 turns - not really fair to be honest.

I can't really "reset" the game. All I can do is delete it and then you could all join the new commander game:  http://planets.nu/games/34764

Shall i delete this game?

Thx for the info, Joshua. I already assumed that resetting is not an option. 

I vote with my feet for deleting. I resign here and join the other.

Well, since someone already grabbed my race, I guess I'll stick with this one and hope for late joiners.

Jomamasfat you could explain to Merlin the situation and ask him if he would not mind to drop and let you the race. ;-)

Give it a go and point him to this thread where everything it has been explained. ;-)

Hi Joshua,

http://planets.nu/games/34764 seems to use Explore Map but this isn't said in the game description. No problem for me, but should be improved for the next games.

RE: Kandru SystemWrite Reply
I sent merlin a message.  Hopefully he'll get it before the host runs, let me have the race, and I can step in in time to make my own first turn moves.  Otherwise, who knows what will have been done.  The last thing I want is to take over after every megacredit has been spent and defense posts needlessly maxed out (I'm not saying he would do this, but I've seen people that do).  So if the first turn runs, I'll probably just have to wait for another commander's game.  The whole reason I joined this game was because I wanted to play the Robots, which seems to be nearly impossible since it's always one of the first races filled.
