RSW

I'm pleased that Jim's offering the use of his client to try out; I've gone out of my way to design the RSW server to be compatible with existing clients for Starweb as well as be open to new clients (such as Jim's) developed specifically for RSW. I want RSW players to have lots of options available...

Did it eventually clear itself up?

When you say it "crashes" do you mean the client just disappears? Or does it pop up an RSW error dialog and offer you to send the bug report to me? If the latter, then it's indeed a software bug in RSW that I should be able to fix; please do send the bug report to me so I can analyze it. I...

I kind of like keeping the behavior a secret, even after game ends. It makes it harder to enumerate the list of possible Pandora's Box behaviors. You might figure out what you *think* it does in a given game, but maybe you're not 100% right; or maybe you were but it's slightly different in the next ...

I agree it's confusing that the "end condition" of a game is different from the "win condition". The game parameters let you select from one of a handful of different "end conditions", including the default behavior that the game is ended when one player crosses a certa...

Sounds like a corrupt game database, try refreshing the database according to the usual instructions: Quit the client, then find the client database and delete or rename it out of the way. This is in the folder c:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\RSW\clientdatafiles . Note that the folder AppData i...

Just kicked it in the pants, should be good now. Sorry about the lock-up.

No worries! For anyone else reading this thread, it's worth pointing out that RSW figures out your preferred timezone in two different ways: on the web, it asks your web browser for your current timezone, but this isn't 100% reliable so you can also override this explicitly on the Personal Info page...

Ah, I see what happened. My mail service is rejecting emails to your email address because after an email attempt on December 22, your domain reported "user unknown", for whatever reason, and that put your email address on a blacklist. I'm guessing that was a temporary fault with your emai...

Hmm, as far as I can tell, emailed turn reports are working on the server. Are you getting any other email messages from the server? Have you checked your spam folder?

David

Ah, I think I see what the problem is. It's not the password, it's the account ID. Unlike on the web page, you can't log into the client using your email address, you have to use your account ID instead. Put in "ZenCat" where it says "account ID".

David

Are you sure you're typing the password correctly? Don't have the caps lock on? Maybe you should try changing your password on the web page (or use the "Forgot password" button) to prove that it's the password you think it is.

murray3c is a normal, full-communication game. When there's co-operation is up to you, of course.

Everyone's got their favorite character positions. Some people do enjoy playing Skip Tracer (and people have played that position to a win in the past, as evidenced in the RSW game history). Of course you're welcome to wait for the next game.

You're right, a 15-player game is unrealistic for our current RSW player base. I've amended the Tournament Game specifications so that all three tournament games require exactly 6 players. The Classic tournament game is a 2-position multiplayer (so 12 positions total), while the Advanced tournament ...
