Today the Warlords Anonymous games 125, 126 and 127 were processed, as was Titan game 218.
While we have made a good effort to have a 2x a week turnaround on these multi-kingdom games, it is too quick a pace for many of the players involved and a couple of the players who were most eager for fast turnaround are on vacation. Other players seem fine with the once a week, which was the original intention and schedule. Until further notice, Warlords and Titans will revert back to being run on Wednesdays only.
Today we ran games 116, 121, 122, and 128.
Game 116 seems to be humming along on turn 24.
Today, Monday we ran games 118, 119, 123 and 124.
Today we processed all Warlords games - #125, #126, and #127, and the Titans Championship #218. A couple players were late so turns went out later than we would like. Titan #219 did not process as a player did not submit orders yet.
Please understand we are committing game master time on the deadlines each day and for whatever reason, the game master expects to be paid whether players have their turns in and so the game processes or not. I know, its crazy. Next he'll want the new minimum wage.
The player requested delay in Titans #219 was processed today.
Thursday is the Development Day, so the higher-ups were out of my hair. But now they have new crazy ideas. Even when Grasshopper wins, he loses.
Grasshopper here,
Whew, made it in just under 12 hours of processing. Games 118, 119, 123, and 124 are out and about. Two ESO turns. At your service.
I'm going to try to change the posting methodology here a bit. Basically, we always run the games the day they are due, with the exception being a player requested delay in a Warlords or Titan game. We generally have completed processing by mid-afternoon, unless it is a rare day where we have several ESO and/or Victory check turns. BTW, thanks to the players who now are generally not submitting revised orders, mislabeling turns, being late, or submitting files without an effective ingest tab. All that together means that along with my increased experience, processing on most days is going so much better.
So instead of confirming that games were run, I'll just post on that subject if there is some problem that has interfered with normal processing? OK?
All games for the week have been processed. I may take a look on Saturday morning to see if any Warlords or Titan games are ready.
Enjoy your weekend, post on the forum, tell the bosses how wonderful Grasshopper is!
Today we had a winner, Underworld played by the Deliverer in Game #119.
Congratulations.
I've asked Cipher to help with an issue in Game #118 - it has not run as of yet. Games 123 and 124 ran and were emailed.
Friday, March 21 - Happy Spring!
Games #118 and #123 went out, #124 is not cooperating and we have summoned Cipher to do his magic as of 6:30pm.
