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...

Re: orthodox60

As indicated by the vote preference, I've changed orthodox6o to run when all players have submitted their orders.

Re: RSW Client installation

No, there should be no open ports needed. RSW just makes an outgoing connection to the RSW server. Hmm, I've just tried setting up a clean VM with Windows Firewall and Avast free anti-virus, and it was able to launch and run RSW Client without issues. So, it's not that, or at least not only that. Do...

Re: RSW Client installation

Hi Mat! Welcome to RSW! I'm not sure what's going wrong with your client, but let's see if we can figure it out. It shouldn't be a compatibility issue; the client is compiled for Windows 10 and should run fine on any Windows 10 machine. One possibility is that somehow the client database is corrupt....

Re: rswgame 2.0?

I'd love to have such a thing, because people expect games to be played in-browser these days. The world seems to be leaning hard against downloaded game clients. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case at the time I wrote the current game client, in the early 2000's; there was no such thing as an in-br...

Re: End game score

For the record, the end-of-score table has been adjusted since this post, and currently looks like this: EndOfGameScore = { -5: (2000, 3000), -4: (4500, 5500), -3: (5500, 6000), -2: (6000, 6500), -1: (6500, 7000), 0 : (7000, 8000), 1 : (8000, 9000), 2 : (9000, 10000), 3 : (10000, 11000), 4 : (12000,...

Provisional / standard map sets

RSW players, I've just reviewed the user-provided game maps that were in "provisional" map sets and moved several of them into the "standard" set, so they'll be available to be selected in standard "classic" or "advanced" games in the future without tagging th...

Re: WTF - I have been turfed oiut of a game??

My apologies for the problems! I don't know what happened here, but I was able to work with Jim to get him back into the game via the signup link. Please let me know if this sort of thing happens to anyone else in the future!

Re: Server appears to have crashed

Ah, my apologies again. I just ran turn 37 again, this time it stuck. The original turn 37 email should be disregarded in favor of the new one.
