Andrew Kulin Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) And regarding Round 2, which supposedly started today, I note that I have received no e-mails saying it is my turn. I thought each of us got one turn to start. EDIT Never Mind, I fired up the game and I see my first turn. I guess the e-mail did not get through. Though some weird scenario conditions. And really hot for midnight. Edited March 27 by Andrew Kulin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal2100 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 My US score is correct, but 916 points were taken away from my SS score for some reason, which is no small amount. I went from 1998 to 1082. I know there isn't anything tied to the results, but it is frustrating to have this problem happen again without any reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 @Jackal2100 in the game that you lost points, did you complete the battle by clciking End and having the last file sent to your opponent? That's what it looks like on the leaderboard. It looks like you timed out and @Tyrandar got 1,000 points, instead of 162. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the other final file in my inbox that is to be expected from the tournament. Edit: This is the same problem I had with the last set of tournaments, and my guess it would be from some problem with the system not reading an opponent's surrender properly.

Andrew Kulin Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We are about a quarter of the way through Round 2 and I see from the scoring there are four (of fifteen) games with overall 0-0 scores. I have not heard a thing from my opponent (baldrick52) and have no way to contact him (I tried via Matrix and Slitherine forum messaging but both messages are stalled in the messaging outbox and never get shown as sent!). Is there any way to poke Slitherine to send out e-mails to the players in at least the matches where scores for both games are 0-0 (which would suggest that nothing has yet started in those matches) to see where things stand with the players? And asking if they plan to play or if they have dropped out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 ***NEWS ALERT***** After a lot of testing I can officially say that if a battle is not played out to the end of "in game" allowed time it will not score properly. Both Surrenders and Ceasefires are affected. Those scores will display properly until the Round's time has ended. Then penalties that should not apply are applied. Battles fought through to the end of in game time will display the correct scores. We're working to figure out if it is the severs or the game that is causing this. Until that's sorted out, I strongly recommend playing ALL battles out until the end. Even if it's just clicking the red square each time you get a file. ********* Games that are not completed before a Round is finished can and should have penalties applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I recommend taking screen shots of your final scores to have available in case anything goes screwy with scoring at tournament round ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal2100 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Anyone else get about 100 emails from Slitherine that their round two games had finished this morning? I am receiving 2 emails every 3 minutes from the automated system and it has been going on for hours.

laurent 22 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Same problem for the tournament that my opponent didn't finish. 280 emails from Slitherine since 1:00 p.m. until now 7:48 p.m. I just sent a ticket to Matrix helpdesk/support@slitherine.co.uk Edited May 15 by laurent 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in touch with my guy over there .....But he's been traveling from their offices in Milan back home to England all day. So, I haven't heard much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizou Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I didn't get an email (Challenge has started!) that the third round has started. There was a file in the In progress tab though. Any one else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Kulin Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I never got a third round start up e-mail either unless it was mixed in amongst the hundreds of round 2 has ended e-mails that I received. Nor have I heard anything from my opponent yet either and it has been 7 days since this round has started. I just got back home last night from a three week trip abroad and will fire up the game later this morning and see if there is anything waiting for me directly through PBEM+ as I have found through playing with PBEM+ that notification e-mails are not always sent automatically. Added: And I just looked at the tournament scoring page and it looks like only a couple of matches have started, which seems kind of low to me, seven days in. Added again: There were two PBEM+ files waiting for me for Round 3, one needing my password only (Turn 0) and one sent from my opponent (Turn 1) which needed my password and puts me into set-up mode. So I suggest checking through the game to see if you have turn files. I certainly did not receive a notification file that my opponent sent me turn 1, but the turn was there waiting. And after a brief look-over of the briefing, I can see that a bunch of 0-0 scores early in the battles could be highly probable, so my previous add-on comment is likely not relevant.
