Unpause to Pause do we know the time left
I seem to recall that some games were paused with only a few hours left and then when they were unpaused there was short deadline. Is the new version different and do we know how much time is left if unpaused?

Being as my one crashed game resulted in a disband that guarantees my elimination this year, I am taking a hiatus (possibly permanently) from this site. As soon as my remaining games are complete, I will be signing off.

Can you tell me the details of the bug so I can fix it, before you go?
Kestas,
When our game crashed, we lost a build turn.
JesusPetry (258 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
It happened in one of my games too. A retreat phase went by in 20min (usual phase size is 48h) and no one was able to retreat. This has happened just after the status appeared as "Crashed".
He is referring to this game:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11521#gamePanel

We lost build turns, so his unit automatically disbanded, but no one got to enter builds.
JesusPetry (258 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Mine is this one: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11456
Kestas, as a personal aside: I think we need to seperate the pre-upgrade allegation of a bug, and the post upgrade bug. Based on the number of threads, you are well aware of bugs and are fixing them as they crop up. If you missed this one (I didn't see a post about it - not that it didn't exist, but I never saw it), thats part of life. Bad things happen during upgrades.

If you could turn back the clock on this game, however, so we can get our builds, it would be most helpful.
Xapi (194 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Also, I assumed this was a given, but when a game goes into "crashed" state, shouldn't it be paused completely?

Is there a way to do this?
kestasjk (99 DMod(P))
23 Jul 09 UTC
Found & fixed the bug, when un-crashing games I forgot to add on extra time for the current phase so processing would begin immidiately

I'll work on turning back the games which people are having issue with (if they're still directly in the phase after the build phase they missed)
JesusPetry (258 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Thanks, Kestas, even if the error was helping me in that game. :-)

TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Draugnar, stop being such a fool. Being a programmer of however many years (and a wittering-on-about-it of almost as many), the concept of a bug must surely have cropped up at some point. Kestas didn't manage to attend to your game within fewer than 24 hours at the very most, so like the archetype of a prima donna you throw every toy out of the pram and announce (yet again) that your leaving the site. In case you hadn't noticed their are well over 1000 other members, at your rate of "I'm leaving" thread creation on average we'd fill a page of the forum every day with them.

So, please, stop being such a fool.
This is the game that you previously posted your histrionics about how you were quitting the game and not entering in any moves, doing the honorable thing by abandoning it. See thread http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?threadID=458420

So maybe Kestas realized that not letting you retreat was your wish.

Since another suggested dev is seperating the forum into sections, can I propose that one of them be dedicated to Draugnar quitting, such that the other pages are not overwhelmed as you described.

Kestas, when it can be done, this game needs to be rolled back to the previous Autumn Diplomacy phase also:

@Dingleberry... "There is no such thing as a bug. There is poor programming. I'm surprised any programmer will use the word 'bug'."

What was that, about a week ago? (Seriously, how could I resist?)
smokybarnable (1141 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Thanks, kestas for fixing 10723. Everything seems OK now. I did get a scare though, when you first rolled it back. The timer read "due NOW" and all my units were reset to holds!! EEK! I had a scary minute or two trying to desperately rewrite orders for 11 units before the phase ended. But of course, by then you had reset the timer to 72 hours. So all is well. ;)
I stand by that. These aren't 'bugs'. They are bad coding. (No offense Kestas).
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Its pretty hard to avoid bad coding in that case. How many programs have no bad coding?
destp (2774 D)
23 Jul 09 UTC
Something I learned from my days as a software QA Analyst: any sufficiently complex program (so excluding 'Hello World') will contain bugs (instances in which the program does not behave as expected/desired). If anything usually just called a 'bug' is actually just an example of 'bad programming' then there's no such thing as a good programmer or a well coded program.
@Dingleberry: Allow me to quote you from earlier in this thread then. "I think we need to seperate the pre-upgrade allegation of a bug, and the post upgrade bug. Based on the number of threads, you are well aware of bugs and are fixing them as they crop up."

I'm surprised you'd sully your vocabulary with the word -- and so many times. One hopes your coding habits aren't so sloppy.
I was using Kestas's words. "To submit bug reports and interface quirks".

This doesn't deserve a thread. =P

Funny that you maintain that you could have made a difference in the League game, when just earlier you were abandoning a League game because you felt that you couldn't make any difference to the outcome. At least you have the class to finish out you before you go, but I'll try to remember you by your amusing remarks and not your fits.

This definitely doesn't deserve a second thread, as apparently this is the sequel to an earlier gripe (by like 8 minutes).

Xapi's almost got it right, but I'm really calling you a big fat hypocrite.

'Draug Queen'. Does this mean a player that throws a tantrum or a player that dresses in ladies clothes and likes it?

Draugnar, you cant leave, your actually quite good and it would be a shame....but then again i havent 'lost' yet, so ill throw my Draug Queen fit when im hammered in a couple of my current games!! I think i just answered my own question...the context fits the first idea better than the second.

Sitter.
I'm going on a trip up to New England for the weekend, and I won't be able to get on a computer. I'm leaving tonight, so I won't have enough time to ask for a pause and find a sitter if it doesn't work out, so can someone sit my account for me? I've got three early stage games going on, so if someone could help me out here I'd appreciate it. My email is in my profile.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before or if it's intentional but when I click on the "Games" link at the top of the page, it now takes me to all "active games" rather than my games as it used to. I much preferred the old behavior.
