NASA spacecraft MARINER 1 (to Venus) was destoyed due to a software bug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bugYouPlay cannot be perfect, otherwise serious software companies will be disappointed  ... therefore we spread some bugs here and there.... Having said that, if you find a bug you should provide us the following information: link to the game
the TURN NUMBER your are playing (we could check the game sometimes later)
what happened (specify the ship(s))
what you did expect to happen and did not
your decision to suspend that game or not (if you continue will be more difficult to backtrace the bug / if you suspend it feel free to send an email to postmaster@youplay.it and to me, just to be sure we are not sleeping....)
why you do think it's important to fix the bug.
This level of boring details will help us to assess the situation....
thanks ciao Ale
Hey, Ale, check out 11417, turn 56. The opponent, downwind, is able to move as in attitude "A" upwind, and close the range. This could be done with full sails, possibly, but not without full sails. I'm afraid I do not understand what you you mean. First you do refer to turn 66 and not 56. Second the opponent is bucentaure right? Bucentaure is closing the range in a perfectly legal way. Left, one, right. It can move 3 and turn allowance is 2. I do not see any problem. Let me know if I missed your point... ciao Ale
Thanks for your input, Ale and Bill. This is the reply I got from S. Craig Taylor regarding this issue:
"Johnny,
A ship’s movement is based on its initial attitude to the wind. If the ship is turned into an attitude where movement is less, the ship may not be moved further in the new direction than the wind allows but it may use remaining movement from the initial attitude to do something else (like, in your case, turn the ship, assuming that the ship is allowed to be turned twice during the same Game Turn.
Craig"
So Ale, you were correct, and my question has been answered by the game designer himself. Still seems a little squirrely, but it gives me another tool to use for future games.
See you guys later.
