@Jacob16 Here is our thread.

[VictoryFirst]

To start a game, you need to do the following.

1. Play By Forum
2. Select Game
   3 "World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition
   4 Fill in the missing fields like so:

Make sure to always enter your password, even if it says “Remember password”.

Now we need to enter the bid.

5 Game options
6 Fill in Russians 41, Chinese 6, British 3.

Now hit OK and then play. The game should load correctly.

[VictoryFirst]

@Jacob16 Also, you need a dice email. Mine is victorlucasbeck@gmail.com

If you don’t have one, you need to register one at the MARTI dice server. Simply click on the button that says Register and you will be asked to enter the email that you want to use. After that’s done, you can put that in the To: field, and mine in the Cc field

[Jacob16]

@VictoryFirst I have tried multiple times registering with the MARTI dice server and I entered many different emails and it just never sends me the email. It says you should recieve a email with a validation link soon but that email never comes.

[VictoryFirst]

@Jacob16 Did you check your spam folder? Usually the MARTI emails are sent there.

[Jacob16]

@VictoryFirst I have checked junk mail and looked everywhere. It might have to do with me being located in Canada, other than that I have no clue what else could be causing it to not send out that email.

[VictoryFirst]

@Jacob16

I have played online a lot and numerous times me or my opponent had some sort of problem with setting up the game, and so far they have all been resolved. So I’m not going to give up on you. I suggest you create a new email adress from a different provider (e.g. yahoo, proton) and use that to register. It must work.

[VictoryFirst]

@Jacob16

I tried registering with a different gmail and got no email like you either. However then I tried with proton mail and there I got the confirmation link. I suggest you try it with proton.

[Jacob16]

@VictoryFirst I have tried yahoo emails, gmail emails, icloud emails, I have tried sending them to different devices and setting up new emails with different devices, I have tried a VPN, I have searched every junk, spam, and garbage folders, I looked online for any solutions and I just can’t seem to figure anything out. No matter what I do I just can’t get that MARTI dice server to actually send me a validation email. The only thing I can think of is that you or someone else who has it working just makes a gmail account and signs up for MARTI dice for me and then gives me the gmail and password for it. Sorry I know it would waste some of your time, I just don’t have any other solutions to try.

[VictoryFirst]

@Jacob16 OK I see, you’ve turned the glass upside down. I wouldn’t recommend gmail because the emails never come through, unless you don’t care about them at all and just want to play. In that case I can also just fill in my two dice emails I currently have registered and just play. Cheating doesn’t happen here anyway.

[simon.tressel]

I can verify that proton mail does work for the verification setup (and that gmail no longer does). I signed up for a proton email a couple of weeks ago and I get MARTI dice. I am only using that address for TripleA games at this point. But as VF says, you don’t need to receive the dice as long as you trust your opponent ;)

[Jacob16]

@simon-tressel HEY this worked! Thank you so much for the help. my email that is working and registered is AxisAllies85@protonmail.com

[Jacob16]

I’ve put in all the required information to start the forum game and when I hit test post I am met with this message “class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’) java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’)”
and when I hit view forum I am met with this message “No value present java.util.NoSuchElementException: No value present”
is any of this really important?

[simon.tressel]

@Jacob16 Ahh, your TripleA version is too old. You are on 2.5 something, and you need to be on 2.6 or newer to be able to post to the forum.

[Jacob16]

@simon-tressel I deleted TripleA and then redownloaded it from the tripleA.org download page and it still only downloaded me a version that is 2.5. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[simon.tressel]

@Jacob16

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases?page=14

I am currently running 2.6.14748

I don’t think it matters too much exactly which release you download, just as long as it is in the 2.6. range it should work with the forum.

[Jacob16]

@simon-tressel My lord they don’t make this easy. I just did that whole thing of figuring out Github and downloading a newer version just before I read your message haha, shouldve just waited 20 minutes. I now have a pre release 2.7 version downloaded. Fingers crossed this all works now.
