Ceasefire: Fire doesn't Cease...?

[Freyberg]

I've had two PBEM games where we both hit ceasefire, but the game didn't end. In one of them, we waited a long time (each unaware the other had hit ceasefire). This has happened in CMFI and CMBN-CW. Is this a bug? Anyone else noticed it...?

[Boo Radley]

No. I've always had the cease fire work for me.

Of course, most of the times, my opponents (who are, as a rule, hateful, sadistic bastiches) just laugh at me and continue to mow down my poor, confused little pixeltruppen, while they run around randomly, shouting things like, "My leg! My leg!" (The pixeltruppen, that is... not my opponents). But, on the few occasions where they've actually felt a modicum of pity... or boredom, perhaps... too close to call, really... and they hit Cease Fire. The firing...er... ceases.

My guess is that one of you has inadvertently revoked their offer of ceasefire, probably by clicking the C/F button a second time.

[Holman]

I have noticed that it sometimes takes longer than I expect:

My turn--I hit ceasefire.

Oppo's turn--He hits ceasefire.

My turn--I give orders and do my thing.

Oppo's turn--He does too.

My turn--I get ceasefire end-of-game notification finally.

Oppo's turn--ditto for him.

Ceasefire in PBEM has in my experience takes a few turns before it comes in effect.

It does not take immediate effect as it does vs AI.

I have had this happen in CMBN where the game would just keep going and going even after the number of turns limit had been reached.

I have had this happen in CMBN where the game would just keep going and going even after the number of turns limit had been reached.

And the clock goes red and negative? That is different that is extra time. Some scenarios (and at least one QB map) have variable time limits.
