ok I found a bug & fixed it. It wasn't specifically related to the rematching, but it still seems to have been the cause here.

If you had max_unfamiliar_cards set to 0, the first card selected could still be any card you owned instead of just cards you were familiar with.

[Version 1.2.6.2]

Version 1.2.6.2

• Fix importing accounts (using link in transfer emails)

Version 1.2.6.3

• automatch-advanced: added a line to make clear max/min ratings are relative

I've managed to forget my username as well.

What's the best method for recovering?

remembering it was PatePate

1.2.6 introduced 3P automatching. However I didn't really have an idea what to do with the default rating requirements. My guess is the 3P ratings haven't really settled, because there weren't that many 3P games getting played, mostly because there wasn't any 3P matching before today.

So for now I just copied the restrictions from 2P (which means searching from -10 to +10), but quite possibly that makes it too hard to find a match and I need to double that range next week.

[Version 1.2.6]

Version 1.2.6
Improved automatcher:

• Allows for 3 player matching.
• Advanced/basic options.
• More feedback while searching.

(see this post)


Version 1.2.6.1

• visual fixes for friendlist.
• Russian labels corrected.

Yes one of the gameservers restarted (which shouldn't happen) then registered itself with the metaserver with a negative port number. This obviously isn't the root cause (still need to figure out why that gameserver restarted in the first place) but it resulted in everyone being redirected to a negative number and failing.

there was no need to post info about specific crashes here... it was a server problem :(

should be fixed now.

Sorry people... this happened while I was asleep. So far I've been reasonably happy with the uptime but clearly something went wrong here. It's been mostly unplayable for the last ~12 hours.

Should be all good now; please let me know if you still experience any problems.

I had the misfortune of playing a Tournament game today and I noticed that the prize/Duchy gain for Tournament is not mandatory. if I reveal a Province I should be required to gain something.

Actually you're only required to gain something if there is >0 duchy and >0 prize left.
If either one is sold out, you can choose the 'failing option'.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe there should be a strategy section here. I hate having to register for so many forums.

I certainly sympathize with that. I saw your post soon after you made it, and had seen someone once make a similar post and basically get the reply "we don't do that here" so I thought I'd save you the wait. Also, f.ds (how forum.dominionstrategy.com gets abbreviated) existed long before shuffleit and has spanned several online implementations and has years worth of knowledge. Still, your point about fewer forums being better is well taken.

I don't feel like controlling this. If there is a desire to speak about strategy on this forum, go ahead. As long as it doesn't interfere with the main function of the forum I don't think it will hurt anyone.

I don't think there is a very meaningful answer to this question... it depends so much on your perspective.

For what it's worth, I think there is a huge difference between level 20 and level 40. Not from the perspective of a level 60 player, who will lose to neither one of them and possibly shake his head when observing the play. But nonetheless a big difference in understanding the game, which will show when they play against each other.

hi,

I found your account in the MF export, but it hasn't been transferred to our site... my guess is you never knew you could do that. Anyway, I'll send you the transfer URL by personal message.

Edit by Stef: I removed the rest of this thread. It resulted in public name & shame, which is against the policy as pointed out by Adam.

I am sorry to those who experience bad behaviour, but name & shame is not an response I believe in.
In my personal experience the bad behaviour is rare but maybe I got lucky. It also seems to be happening more among lower ratings.

Please try to minimize the impact. When at all possible, try to let it go. Put them on your blacklist. We are already monitoring who is on how many blacklists, so if they're real jerks we'll be on to them soon.

If it goes beyond that, send a PM to one of the moderators (LaLight, drsteelhammer, Watno) or one of the admins (Philip, Stef)

Hello Stef, can I do this after I lost? I would be absolutely fine with that. I will try that out.

Only if you accept you lost before it actually happens. Once the game is finished, you'll have to take LaLights route.

You can also type /undo and then click on the first dot in the log. It's not the same as one button but should get you what you want.
