and another week added until turn 2 can be played...



and now I notice this:

"The game cannot continue until all abandoned positions have been claimed."

we may never get a chance to play...

When players fail to enter the first turn, the RSW server considers them dropped players. For whatever reason, this happens pretty often; there's usually one or two drops of this nature in every game that starts. If the game configuration allows it, the server can simply eliminate these players from the game after the first turn, and re-generate the map for the new smaller number of players, and the game continues without anyone minding that these deadbeat players were ejected.

But combined7u was set up to require precisely 15 players, so the server cannot eliminate the missing players without shrinking the game to 13 players, violating its setup requirements. So it has to wait until two more players show up to replace the dropped players.

If several players felt it would be better to continue the game with fewer players rather than wait for the full roster, I'd be fine with tweaking the game parameters to allow it to continue now. But if you'd rather wait for a full contingent, that's fine too.

Well since nearly a week has gone by with no-one stepping in to fill the abandoned positions, I say go ahead and tweak the game parameters...
