You have been eliminated from the game 'PhD in Bomb Making! [R8G2]' by Gimli.

I guess my play was that bad that I essentially killed myself! Maybe it is reading tourney host and not player?

Nobody is playing this game, not even me and I started it!

Setup based but no Setup?  Probably Initial Setup Rule should be Random.

Well so how did it go live and not give me an error or something.  I'm pretty sure other people joined the game and it is now LIVE without anyone playing it.

I'm just guessing based upon this: http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1290/Ummm_I_win

I pretty much had the reverse problem where I had a Setup for Seat 1 but nothing for Seat 2 due to all remaining territories are distributed Randomly, the game would start but then throw out players.

Thinking about this, it actually seems like Setup but no Setup should work by falling back to Random, but *shrug*.

Just backing up riskyback. Wtf is up with this game?

Something is up with the starting setup - I've removed it from your game lists.

Thanks - fixed.

A very small bug, just to say. I got a tournament win notification by e-mail (which is a great idea as I had suggested it myself). It says 'you now have 1 trophy' which is wrong as it's my third. Just to say.

Which tournament was this?

http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/212

In the banner below the tabs it says # turns waiting.  If I complete a turn it doesn't automatically refresh/update.  I have to go back to the games list for it to change to (#-1) turns waiting.  Can this be fixed?

It's my turn and I have 5 units to place but my only options seem to be to attack or fortify.  I'm unable to place my units.

does having over 1000 units on one spot bug all maps, or just the europe 1560 map?  I have ~1030 on Brunswick in this game http://www.wargear.net/games/player/29054 and the number says 103 now.  It looks like the last number is cut off.  When I attacked off of it, I could transfer 1000+ units so they are there, they just aren't showing.

tom has said in the past that could be a big thing to "fix".  Although going to any page on WG will have the updated number.

My hypothesis is that you hit Attack prior to placement (or hit Attack instead of Apply) and thus your 5 units are in Reserve (Unlimited setting on that board), with Return to Placement Off then those are "stuck" in Reserve until next round.

Really I think prior to an actual Attack or Fortify I would think players could have access to the Placement tab, although it seems like this discussion has been brought up before (I'm actually not sure which side of the fence I was on either, but I thought tom was going to open up Placement like this so perhaps there was a reason it wasn't opened).

Wow, 1000+ units. Yes that will result in some clipping. I'll see what I can do about that.

You can switch back and forth between Place and Attack so I'm not sure how this has happened - it has happened to other people in the past though so it's not an isolated case. I'll see if I can work out what happened.

In the meantime I've fixed up your game M57.

Although having said that... maybe there should be a hard limit of 999 units per territory. Any views on that?
