No problem. I will ask you next month for W@W game.
Using Frood.net for tournament play
-
Due to some issues that have arisen in one of the games…
I’ll just post here that if frood.net is used in your game, you should record the game under a game ID and use that when you roll your battles. E-mail is unreliable but the results are always logged if a game ID is used.
My official policy for frood.net is that for the purposes of league or tournament play, the only VALID, CERTIFIED results are those recorded in the log at my site. The e-mailed results are for convenience only. E-mail can fail, and e-mail can be spoofed.
Those are my rules at frood.net - the only results I will vouch for are in my log. Of course, the admins here may adopt their own policy, if they accept e-mail results as satisfactory that is up to them.
Secondly, and this is important, if you are rolling a battle under a game id, you MUST enter a Territory ID and a Turn ID Â (eg. “UK4”) for each battle. If you do not, the results will NOT be logged and will NOT be e-mailed. -
Thank you Dan.
Those of us who have been around and have been a part of your ongoing development of your dicey are already aware of this.
But I am glad that you posted it separately so that others are aware of the logging feature.

I have also stickied this thread so that it remains at or near the top of the Tournament thread so that in the future there will be no questions on this front.

Also, when a game ID is used it saves certain settings such as the ruleset, luck model and e-mail addresses, to save the effort of typing those in for each battle and also to prevent cheating by switching rulesets to get different unit characteristics for a battle and hoping no one notices. The saved settings will override whatever’s in the form for this reason. It also prevents things like people forgetting to enter or incorrectly entering e-mail addresses.
So only the bidders will receive the e-mails from a logged game. Others should refer to the logged results page for confirmation of rolls, which are the official certified results anyway.
-
Okay, I have made a change that I think will make some people happy.
If using a game ID, you can add additional e-mail addresses to the form and they should all receive the results. It will however always add in the saved e-mail addresses as well, you can just add extra ones now if you want.

GK for making your dicey perfect for the 2-on-2 :-)

Frood might be having some trouble currently. My opponent tried registering a game and got a bunch of php errors.
-
I had no problems placing a bid with Frood last night…
-
I’ve had trouble placing bids with Frood. It keeps saying Game ID/Bid # doesn’t work.
-
same for me

Is it working now?
I moved to a new host and there was an issue with PHP permissions.
