Hmmm...still have not received it and I tried the link per your suggestion Bronwell.  I just realized you sent me the instructions yesterday too and sorry I missed it.  I'll contact parone now and ask him to check Jotun's email setup.

Suggestion:  Try a different email address then the one you had for Vanheim.

W8taminute

^Good idea.  Maybe the same email address can't be used for more than one player even if the player got eliminated.

I'll send a new email to parone via PM.

I tried a second email address with parone but still no luck.  I'm trying another manual resend.  I have a third email account on a non gmail/yahoo type system however I'm unwilling to use it as it gets a lot of spam each day the rules I have in place on the inbox are restrictive. 

I suppose I could create yet another email, maybe use msn this time?  Maybe subbing does not work anymore on llama?

No, the resend button doesn't work.

Source:  I tried to resend to me.

parone

changed the email three times(to two different addresses)  no luck :-\

Bronwell

I saw Pythium's message about resend button not working and tried to resend my own turn to myself.  It did work.  I wondered if the resend button was just broken since llama has been tinkering with server, but apparently it works.  I did receive my resent turn within 2-3 minutes.

I would check with Llama and see if he has any advice.  When I go to the admin log, it shows that the email address for Jotun has been changed 3 times in the last few days.

For what it's worth, my email is not one of the standard free accounts like gmail etc.  It is possible it is getting caught on the IP server side in a spam filter (that you can't see).

alastair

Pythium resend worked this time.

parone

I have changed the address for pythium to the new sub.

whoever you are, feel free to introduce yourself!!

also, w8, any luck?

W8taminute

Sorry guys.  I've not had any luck with the turn resend.  I just now clicked again and will wait to see if I get the turn.

Sub suggested that he needs a 24 hr extension.

Bronwell

So I take it someone has substituted for Pythium as well as Jotun?  I didn't even realize Pythium was looking for a sub.

I sent a message to Llama days ago re: the sub problem but have not received any response.  It may simply be that the after the changes something is broken with subbing.

Greetings mysterious Pythium sub. Welcome to the game.

Wingedflamez

I added the 24 hr extension last night. Any word on what is going on?

Bronwell

#733
I see that Pythium has posted a turn.  Was that by Alastair or the new Pythium sub?  And any word on who the sub is?

Could you please respond and let us know, as that would explain whether the sub is receiving turns from llamaserver, and therefore the Jotunheim turn problem with w8taminute is not a server issue, but likely something to do with whatever emails he is trying to use.  W8taminute may need to try another email ASAP

Once we get the sub situation sorted out, is there any chance of getting turns moved back to their normal 48 hour hosting rather than 60 hour hosting?  The only person who posted in favor of 60 hours was Alastair, who apparently was the one who requested the initial change.  Since he has left, the only other votes I see in the thread were all in favor of 48 hours.  From my point of view, the frequent delays, on top of that long 60 hour hosting have really hurt the game.  At least I have learned something for the future.  I will only participate in games with long turn hostings OR generous extensions, never both.  I think I assumed generous extensions meant the turn hostings could be kept relatively short.

Wingedflamez

I think the idea was that he basically made a request for a constant extension.

I have no problem with rolling back to 48 hours if everyone is fine with it as well.
