The game settings specified a minimum of 9 players, which is why it would not start with only 8 players. I tweaked the game settings to allow it to start one player short. Now you're in an 8-player game, enjoy!

Re: RSW Client Not Connecting
Ah, I think you are right.
Have you tried setting the drop-down to "XML web push" yet? That might mitigate this, the client might be able to do all of its communication via plain HTTP.

Re: RSW Client Not Connecting
Ah, you can try changing the Comm method from "XML connect" to "XML web push". That should use port 80 entirely instead of switching over to port 8123. It's a little less efficient, but it's just as capable; and it's less likely to be blocked by any overly sensitive security prot...

Re: RSW Client Not Connecting
Hmm, from everything you posted, I don't see anything wrong; and it seems like the configuration is basically correct since it's able to establish at least the first handshake with the server. That said, I haven't tested the Mac client in more than a few years; and maybe the recent OSX versions intr...

Re: Unwritten Rules -- BEWARE!
Hmm, I'm surprised that you say having a question mark in your player handle is causing trouble--I'm pretty sure it shouldn't! And, in fact, trying this out myself now, everything seems to work OK, even with a question mark on the end of my name--I can download my turn reports, in both TXT and XML f...

Re: wxPython for RSW client
I'll make the update, thanks! It also requires Python 2, and I'm not sure that's spelled out either.

Forum is back up!
My apologies for the month-long forum downtime. There was a system change that required updating the version of phpBB we are using to the latest version, and I've just completed the update. Thanks for your patience!

Re: Questions and edge cases
Hi Kurt! Welcome to RSW! 1. when I mark my orders as draft, will they be executed when the deadline arrives? Yes, but... if the turn time expires and your orders are still marked as draft, this will counted as a "missed turn", even though the draft orders are accepted and executed. If you ...

Re: Moving
If the connection actually does exist, then the move command will go through. If you are mistaken about the connection, then the move command will fail. The "connection may or may not exist" message is just a warning that you haven't seen in-game evidence that the connection exists yet. It...

Re: Capturing
That is correct. Generally, a world with zero population cannot be captured. If you happen to be a Positronix, it's relatively easy to drop at least one robot to the world (which counts as non-zero population) and then you can capture it. For most other player types, you have to migrate at least one...

A moment of silence
I just learned today that Barry Williams, one of our most active players, and a creative, engaged, and socially active person, passed away at the end of July. I don't know the circumstances, or any further information at all. The RSW community, and the world in general, will feel this loss deeply. P...

Re: Cancel a pending game?
Done! Note that the active RSW player population is a little light right now, and it can be difficult to start a game with more than 6 players. If you know some names of people who might be interested in playing a game or two--or game forums where they might be lurking--I encourage you to extend an ...

Re: Cancel a pending game?
There's not an explicit interface for canceling a pending game, but if all players withdraw from the game, it will automatically cancel. Or the game will automatically cancel when its expiration date hits (if it is still under-enrolled). I'm happy to manually delete a game if you'd really rather can...
