Re: The 51% Parameter--the RADIUS PARADOX

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...

Re: deliver4n

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...

Re: Time mismatch

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...

Re: Emailed turns did not arrive

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...

Re: Emailed turns did not arrive

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?

Re: can't log in!!!!

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".

Re: can't log in!!!!

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. :)

Re: RSW Autumn 2018 Tournament

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. :)

Re: RSW Autumn 2018 Tournament

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 ...

Re: Server performance

My apologies for the missed turn. I do my best to keep the server running smoothly, but sometimes it does get away from me; I'm only one person. We were lucky it didn't impact a more important game to you.

Re: Server performance

Something on the server was getting itself caught up on the recently-completed game jacket4e. I've marked that game deleted in an attempt to remove it from the active circulation, hopefully eliminating whatever the problem was, and reset the server again. Please try it again and let me know if it's ...

Hmm, you're right. I just tried restarting the server process, that seemed to clear it up for me. Is it working better now?

Re: New RSW client 1.0.8.1

No, no reason to switch to 64-bit if the 32-bit version is working fine for you.
