Wait... so this map still isn't playable?

I played this map waaaay back when (June 08, I do believe), and didn't understand it then. Since that time, I've waited and waited for it to come back, but now we're closing in on the end of 2009 and still no sign of it. Sigh, they do say patience is a virtue.

Lack needs to tweak some things behind the scenes before this goes live - we're waiting on the turtle himself ;-)

Put it on your list for next year, then you must be good all year, and maybe Lack-a-Claus will leave it in your stocking.

But wasn't Lack-a-Claus just a little funny??

Prob was you didn't put an emoticon behind you message indicating some hilarity...
so it was taken the other way, given the tone of the previous messages being somewhat downbeat....

When lack gets back, I imagine that the games started in error (or by taking advantage of a bug) should be deleted... but it's his call. There's no reason to hold this up any longer than necessary - we're just waiting on lack to pull some strings on his end (which may be a little tangled by the sounds of things :-/ )

The current map that all the bug games are being played on is the old version of the map, correct?

Yes, I tried to stop (by asking players to delete the games as they were anauthorised) as many of them as possible but those games got through.

Apologies then. I joined a bunch of them because I was rather excited to see this map back in action after waiting so long. I've dropped any games I have that are waiting for players, but there's nothing I can do to the ones that are active.

What the hell happened that these all got created?

Actually, it's months... not weeks.

Lack wants to update this as a revamp for some reason. It would have been up ages ago if he just considered it as a new map.

lack needs to do something in order to preserve game-log integrity for existing games on the map (hopefully it sounds like I know what I'm talking about :-$ )

the map is a bad map...

it needs help. you cant eliminate opponents. it makes for a really boring, and dull game. prolly the worst game play on cc. make it to where you can eliminate opponents. maybe start with 3's on the board everywhere that neutrals are for the players....i dont know. i will never play it again if it is the same as it is now.
