That is one of the most shocking things I have read on this forum.

Words cannot express how pathetic such behaviour is.

Well done Pete for your actions which have my unqualified support.

Its the Digital League Barry Bonds moment.

I've been playing in the DL since FOGII Season One and i am really bothered by this. I feel disappointed and angry. I had liked watching dklanda rise over the seasons...liked playing him.... Letting this game become so important that you cross the line to give yourself an unfair advantage....wow....

Division A

Triarii (Bedouin and Byzantine allies) defeats XLegione (Romans) 62-47

A very tough and close game in which Roman skirmishers and bow auxilia successfully shot up the Bedouin mixed right wing of Lancers and MI before trapping and destroying it with quality infantry. By the time this was finishing the mobile Bedouin left was flanking and destroying the Roman right - MI and mediocre legions caught in open ground. After which and with loads of space the remaining Roman MI were picked off by the mobile Bedouin with the quality Roman Legions too few or too far away to intervene. A really good interesting game with two very different lists and XLegione's masterful defence with and of his scattered units would have made it a draw in one more turn. Thanks for a good game.

In his first season in the top flight, ConstantinIX and his Byzantine army held off a strong challenge from klayeckles (Sassanid) to win Late Antiquity Division A. Well played ConstantinIX.

Maybe also something to have a look at in the programming. I play Chaos Reborn which is also turn-based. While playing multiplayer occasionally you get a disconnection. But, even then, you just go back in and the game has saved everything up to the point when you crashed. You don't start the turn afresh.

good idea if it's technically feasible

Semi-final

paulmcneil beat dkalenda 2-0 (disqualified)

paulmcneil will play harveylh in the final starting on Sunday 26th July.

Grim news indeed. A very disappointing and strange situation. I do also hope there is some kind of technical solution that could prevent this from arising in the future.

Does make me laugh when I look back and read all the entries in the RNG debate that raged, insisting that Dkalenda won so many games because he was the best player, and the RNG had nothing to do with it That looks very funny now. But then again could perhaps explain why some people saw so many bizarre RNG results, and some almost none at all? The RNG was effectively being gamed, constant flicking of the coin to get 6 6s in a row as it were.

I was thinking that Slitherine monitors the many re-loads without someone to ask for this.
Anyway, congrats to Pete really for his actions.

Unless you are alleging all of the longstanding Divn A players did the same.......(they didn't)..........the general point about the best players still overcoming RNG year after year through skill still applies.

I speak as someone for whom the giddy heights of the top Division exists only as some sort of ancient folklore by the way so I am not speaking through self interest

Good job, Pete, well done to you, Anders and ian.

Let's hope this never happens again.


Best Wishes

Someone just told me that they disconnected from 2-3 league games last season and got worried that they may get in trouble. This issue should be looked at with high priority because so much of the game is based on multiplayer and the PBEM. Turns shouldn’t be taken again. If it can’t be changed in this game then sort out the problem for the next games, for sure.
