Behold! A tourney has completed!

Argh.

As you may have noticed in the Herald, there was a bug with the troop movement queue this morning, between 0902 and 0937.

Herald wrote: Update 15NOV2010 Troop Orders/Movements Issue A hiccup with the Troop Movement queue occurred between 0902 and 0937 this morning. This meant that some combat events occurred peculiarly. A total of 6 armies were affected and declared themselves present on squares when they should by rights have been elsewhere at the time. We are investigating the underlying causes of the incident further. Many apologies.

The issue here is that one of the affected armies during this bug was duuvian's army, which - despite having been recalled yesterday - coexisted on the square with amorphias' army when hypocritical attacked this morning - his attack hitting, unfortunately at 0917 (during the hiccup).

Therefore, Amorphias received additional defensive benefit from duuvian's troops - which should not have been on the square.

So, it's a mess.

It seems to me the best thing to do is:

a) Return duuvian's lost troops to his army
b) Return amorphias' lost troops to his army
c) Return hypocritical's lost troops to his army
d) Rerun the combat resolution between amorphias and hypocritical, with the correct numbers of troops from the correct armies on the square

If everyone is in agreement that this is the fairest way forward, I'd like to put this into place before more armies arrive to attack amorphias, and the problem is compounded further.

Many, many apologies for this.

Regards,

SC

Also maybe have the tourney director be able to chose the distance/time so you could have a speed tourney on a weekend night were everyone is 15-20mins away and first person to hold it for 1hr wins etc
