WOK ON Practice Game - ????
Guys I jsut got an email about a new turn run on the wokon practice game.
Problem is that I never started (nor looked at) the game.

The game lists Bean, Calidus, Eagle Eyes and myself and says we all went M1.
Over to the bug hunters.

It does send out notifications as, in theory, several players could be having a practice game together. I requested on the GM's page that users only add people who they know want to play. If the feature continues to be abused I will have to disable some of the options and/or bung an IP trace on it...
Chris.
PS as it seems none of the four players set up the game (why run the turn without entering your own orders?) I've reset it.

How about a nice game of chess?
I am Calidus there. (And I think I am on one big-time losing streak again!)
I thought the computer played as the Russians, and determined that the only way to win the game was to not play it at all. It has been forever since I watched that movie that I really don't remember....

Practice Game
I have just signed up and my hubby - Vortan - was going to show me how to play using the practice game but my ID isn't on the list of possible players.
WHY?

Ok, step one: TheDragon, apply to join the Scholars (or any other clan). This will tell the Lobby that you are a real person and it will generate you a Lobby profile. (This will also allow GM Mike to add youto his game).
Step two: Vortan, reset the practice game if it's already running, then add yourself, TheDragon and anyone else who wants to play using the form at the bottom of the page. (Select a player number, the player you want, what you want to call them, don't worry about clans, then press submit. Repeat as necesary.) You can add players to more than one spot and/or leave spots blank. Please leave all blank spots at the end of the table or the OOP will get confused.
Step two a: Vortan, if you want to add robot players to the game, add the 'autogm' player. Note that if you want the robots to do anything you will have to select run as duel later on.
Step three: Vortan, press the run turn button.
Step four: Everyone who is playing, look at the page and enter orders. As you can all view the GM's page, you can view each other's turn reports and orders too.
Step five: Vortan, once everyone has entered orders you can press the run turn button. (The practice game does not auto-run) You can select to run the turn as a Standard or Duel game. Remember that Duel games have moving robots and enforced player NAPs.
Repeat steps four and five until you're finished.
Final step: Reset the practice game.
Hope that helps. If anyone wants to write up a guide for new players, I'll publish it...

I should have mentioned;
You don't have to pick a clan to join, just apply at random. (Mention that you're just doing it to make a profile if you wish). Normally the prfile is created when you apply to join a game, but we're fooling the Lobby by doing itthis wa round...
