WoK On Practice Game

Post by **korexus** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:45 pm

Ok, I think some of you will like this one...

I have added to the Lobby, a practice game. Any player can GM this game, meaning that you can head over, add yourself and play a couple of turns to try out new strategies. Alternatively you can use it to have a quick, informal game so you can show friends exactly how WoK works.

The link appears at the bottom of the list of games you are in. Please reset the game when you are finished, so others can use it!

Wheres the RoboPlayer?

It's called "autogm". Look for that entry when choosing a player for a spot.

Why is it AutoGM?

Also... Masjwar tried to do that practice game. He was able to start it... but he wasn't run the turn. Has anyone who isn't a GM ever tried the Autogame?

Because such a player spot is governed by our automatic Game Master.

Indeed, I made a practice game this evening and after running the initial turn, all options to do anything with the game went away, and it looked like a normal game that a real GM had set up.

To wit, no buttons to reset or go to next turn.

Donut suggested I put myself in the top spot (I was in spot 10) and see if that helped.

I just did that and now that I have run the first turn, I am not able to do anything, including resetting the game.

HELP.

When you go to the Lobby, is there no third box at the bottom called Game Master's menu(under the box with 'search for games')?

Use the bottom link from the WoK On box, alternatively change viewgame.php to GMviewgame.php in the address bar.

I'll try to make it more user friendly.

And yes, I've tried it on a non-GM account, but no one tell Baron Roland that I have two profiles!

Well using that link I managed to reset it, but have no clue how to make the turns actually process.

No one said I was very

bright.

Unless I'm blind and illiterate (of which I am probably both), then no. Or at least I can't find it if it's there.

EDIT: Oh... hmm.. I think I actually figured it out. I'll have to try another game this evening if I have the time. Thanks!!

The link at the bottom of the WoK On box. = 'WoK On Practice game' should take you to the GM's version of the page. From here, you can add players and press run turn. Having pressed run turn, you should see a button called 'got to game'. Pressing it shows you the game from the GM's point of view. Alternatively, the original link ('WoK On Practice game') will also take you there.

That's how it should work anyway...
