[farmboy]

yea and it doesn’t even require a phone number :)

[Martin]

Indeed. It is a great privacy focused email system with messages stored in Switzerland 👍 You don’t want that your invasion plans go public 😅

anybody else experiencing this issue with dice roll getting stuck ?? just started happening to me today in my ptv game!

i rebooted machine and didn’t help. i upgraded to latest 2.7x triplea and still same issue.

[axis-dominion]

ok i took out my email address and replaced it with yours and it worked. so it must be something with my yahoo email… maybe i’ll look into that proton email account after all lol

anyway i’ll complete my turn and post it. then look into that option

But like farmboy pointed out, you can throw out all the bidding rules if you can agree with your opponent. However, your other opponents may wish to abide by the “default”

I haven’t played any OOB league games and just started one with Gamerman. So I am looking at AndrewAAGamer & ABH’s playoff game and the bid is something I never would have considered, a couple other key units but the big whopper: 46 IPCs going to China’s bank! First time I have seen anything like it, so I’m watching the game closely now! :)

@Stucifer not a playoff game, but a regular match. Nice to have Chinese soldiers standing toe to toe with the Japanese forces.

[Stucifer]

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Ah yes not sure why I thought it was a playoff game! 😆

It’s quite a change from the typical subjugation of China most games see. I saw a post from Andrew saying he wanted to try and tackle the China stack instead of ignore it. would be interesting to see how much of a difference it could have made if Japan had ignored them and gone for the J2 still.

[axis-dominion]

nvermind, it’s still getting stuck… it’s now happening in my other games, and doesn’t matter what email i use for the dice… this is bad

[Stucifer]

@axis-dominion Very strange :( I am not getting an issue right now on my laptop. I was having the same issue either yesterday or Sunday though for a brief time.

@axis-dominion

Bummer

yea my guess is that it’s a email issue. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can change emails mid game. I have never tried it though.

I would try protonmail or gmx.com. Maybe you can load your current game with the new address. Worth a try anyway.

Might want to ping Panther on the triplea thread

@axis-dominion

just reread your comment. So new email not working. Maybe go back to one of 2.6 prereleases

[axis-dominion]

Turns out it’s likely my ISP as I was able to make things work again when I switched from my wifi to my phone’s personal hotspot. Now I have to call them up and see why it’s blocking me (tho some rolls do go through)… I was having other intermittent issues in general like my zoom disconnecting on me etc)

You can indeed change the emails, same as when you start a new game. After you have loaded up the save the dice server options before you enter the game.

I have not had any problems with the rolls, but I had not gotten a single Marti email for any game since July 1st until I finally just got one yesterday. Also no matter how many times I tell Gmail the Marti emails are not spam, many still get labeled as such. Maybe time for me to give another email provider a shot a well.

[mikawagunichi]

@mikawagunichi Proton worked like a champ. Marti emails galore

Question for the rules lawyers here! :)
@Adam514 @gamerman01

The Pacific rulebook states:
The United States begins the game at war with no one. In addition to the normal restrictions (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15), while it’s not at war with Japan, the United States may not move any units into or through China or end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to Japan-controlled territories.

I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this correctly. Japan is not at war with USA, but captured Solomons as ANZAC declared war round 2. Since USA does not go to war until the end of its turn, I would assume this means USA will have to move their fleet out of 50&55. (PtV game)

Thanks in advance for clarifying for me and @max334!

[gamerman01]

USA may declare war at the beginning of the combat movement phase of round 3 because Japan declared war on UK/ANZ

If USA decides not to declare war on Japan US3, then USA may decide to declare war at the beginning of the collect income phase of US3 (note that this is actually optional)

So in the event that the USA for some reason does not declare war at the beginning of US3 (I suspect you may have overlooked this because of your question) then the USA is neutral during USA3 noncombat movement phase. One could argue that “may not end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to Japan-controlled territories” could mean that the USA can not MOVE and then end movement in such a sea zone, but I suspect the majority would interpret that the USA would have to move away, as you said, out of the sea zone that is now too close to Japanese property (the Solomons)

I’m not meaning to make some official interpretation here, I’m first wondering if in your case the US would declare war on US3 because now they can, in which case the rule about bordering Japan territory is irrelevant.

@gamerman01

But Japan did not declare war on UK/ANZ; ANZ declared war on Japan changing the political status of ANZ, UK, UKP, and the Dutch with Japan as unprovoked. The US was not affected by ANZ unprovoked declaration of war on Japan. Right?
