21 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [India]:I'm confused. How'd I end up missing a turn if this just started on Friday? |
21 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Oz]:I was slightly confused as well. |
21 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [India]:I put a message up on the forum and it was implied that something could be done about it. Is it possible to unwind the clock in WebDiplomacy? |
21 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Russia]:not a clue |
21 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Brazil]:No. As unfair as missing a turn is, being able to undo a turn would be even more unfair. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [USA]:Does seem unfair on India. I'll cancel if that becomes the majority decision. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Russia]:well if everyone wants to do that then i think we all need to agree to do the same actions |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Western-Canada]:I am willing to cancel |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Frozen-Antarctica]:I don't mind cancelling. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:I would not mind cancelling. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:To those of you who showed up late: the game starts when a sufficient number of players join. The time given is the deadline. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [USA]:Another idea, to save starting all over again, why don't those who would gain from India's absence for one turn just not do so. Have a one-turn moratorium in that area. That basically means China and Near-East won't advance further towards India next turn. After that, it's every man/woman/rat for himself/herself/itself. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Pacific-Russia]:I wouldn't be opposed to cancelling if the majority agrees, however, diplomacy is unfair, like life. Play on! |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Brazil]:@USA, that just spreads the unfairness, because now you're penalizing them. India still loses a turn, and then they've lost a turn. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Brazil]:I voted for a cancel, but I don't really support it. We should play on. That's a tough bit of business for India, but there are sixteen other players who signed up for a game here. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Russia]:in fairness to have missed the turn wont they have to have joined, then not checked back for 2 days to submit orders?? because in that case play on, if you can't keep up with a 2 day phase then you should miss your turn |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [USA]:Yes, indeed. Let's get on with it. 'Play up, play up and play the game!' Bite the bullet, India. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [USA]:. . . and say goodbye to Afghanistan and Thailand. |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [Russia]:ha! |
22 Apr 12 UTC | Autumn, 2000: [India]:In fairness, I knew that the game was scheduled to start on Friday, and so I didn't check in until Saturday. Well within the 48 hours. To be clear, I wasn't ever complaining - I'm happily "biting the bullet". I just was curious what could have been done to rectify the situation, as I hadn't found anything that mentioned altering setups mid-game. But I reserve the right to gloat unabashedly when I win. |
