GMR Client, mostly failed retries [Solved]
Hi Tazzik, I tried again, but not much success. first one submitted fine, second one failed again with retry. I hit no to try again, but the website still moved forward to the next player. It seems even if you say no to try, it still sends something to the site indicating it has been uploaded

in my debut logs, I have this every 30 seconds - should I have this many? is it maybe my client that needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled?

I have not been having much luck with the GMR client submitting turns. I use the client to know when its my turn, and download the files but then i upload them on the website. The failure rate when using the GMR client I'd have to guess at above 70%.

Is it just me? is there some tweaking I can do? When I use the website, it is pretty slow, maybe the timeout setting can be increased?

When it does fail, and I click on NO to retry, it often still submits my turn but then when the next person goes to play, it often has an issue, either waiting for players, or it will show as my turn, or even there won't be a download file.

this was my last error in the debug log

Theme 6: Reuse a theme!
Ok - this may sound like a lazy mans way of selecting a new theme - but I'm doing this to get a good idea of which themes were preferred, and to give the new folks the ability to try one of the older themes.

Theme 6 is essentially pick a theme, and play that - except theme 4.... it was too glitchy and quick... if I do a culture win again, it will be an ancient start game.

Theme 5 - City States Galore
sorry - correction, map is standard :) we don't want these games taking forever, right?

I noticed that there is a space where your initial settler is put, so that the city states don't surround you. I tested it twice, and both times, I didn't get 50 city states.. must be a limit based on map site
Ok.. i'm experimenting here.. 4 player FFA, 50 city-states!

The idea is you have to decide that if you will conquer the city states to expand more, or will you work with the city states in peace. The map is large so there is enough room - i tested it out by checking the map.

Interesting thing I learned - city-states are not fixed when the game starts - they are all individual settlers first, and then they found their city.. Guess i just assumed the city-state was a fixed location.

This means potentially.. if you started really close to a city-state, you could steal their settler before they plant their city.

Theme 4 is Now Active
I went for something off the wall here.. No War.. Nobody can declare war or attack each other.. It is a straight Culture/Science victory only... Visit the website for the full theme details

Theme 3 is now Active
Only human league players.. unless a theme specifically states adding an AI (which we haven't had yet)
On the GMR website, you can search for a player on the community tab at the top. Then, you can send them a message by clicking on their name, then clicking send message, and ask if they wanted to play a game for the league. (The names of the people in the league can be found on the main page on the league website).
Challenges can be rejected (as some people have lots of games on the go and are trying to reduce them).. we try to keep everything easy so people don't feel overwhelmed with games.
Hi thegreycat.. yes - when you have challenged someone, and you have to create the game, you put that in your saves/hotseat folder.. When you load that game, it will then open to the place where you have to select the civilizations. This would be though if you were starting the game. If you are playing as a challenger they would worry about that, and you would just play based on the GMR games.

I've added you to the league. All the games are played on the GMR website. There is a great video on the /home/ tab that explains how the games work and what you do if creating a game.

Note to everyone else, I've also added tummybunny, so we have 2 new league players - welcome!
I've posted the file and rules for the next theme, that will run from Mar 1 to April 1 - 4 Player FFA standard map
