Egypt here had an awesome start: http://multiplayerrobot.com/Game#20905

And huge very fresh game with a couple of open slots here: http://multiplayerrobot.com/Game#21910

I updated the github repo. Upload works flawlessly now. Anybody interested in "freezing" the python script into standalone binary files for linux/mac?

Yes, I have noticed that too. Somehow though, the official GMR-Client does not seem as affected. Freshly uploaded games immediately disappear from the list. Have you wiresharked the official client? Might use a different API-call. It does use an undocumented method for uploads...

Oh and maybe I was a little short on words describing how uploads work...
1) When you download a game it will be names as following: gameId-turn
The turn is the total of submitted turns, sadly not the ingame turn number.
When you load the game, it is in first position, because it is the newest file in the folder
2) When you save the game, find the file you just loaded.
This is slightly more tricky as the files are no longer sorted by date.
It helps to have fewer files in the folder.
Select it and then add '-u' to the filename.
Now you can upload through the client.

I put it on github too:

Hei,

when travelling (like now) I'm on linux. I got fed up with the unresponsive GMR website and wrote a quick and dirty terminal client in python:

http://pastebin.com/ZK2CjfJM

1) Paste the code into a file, for example "/home/me/gmr-client.py"
2) Put in your authcode from the GMR website (you find it under download)
3) Edit the path to your civ-saves and save the file.
4) Run the client in a terminal with: python /home/me/gmr-client.py
5) Enjoy!

Hei, another failed start here. France is about to take it's third turn. So long the AI took all turns. This is a rather a slow paced game with 7 Players.

Hei, we are playing a slow paced game with 7 Players. Arabia is about to take its second turn and looking for a new player:

Hi, I'm the player at fault. I will do some more research trying to reproduce it once I am travelling again next week.

@v3gard: Brace yourself, I will try to contain the testing to our Deathmatch!

My impatience and the website's speed don't get along too well. The windows client does a solid job for taking turns but I find using the website for communications straining. The Trello board gives off a pretty orphaned impression, so I'll leave my thoughts here:

1) The easiest (?) fix would be increased speed for the website.

2) How much work would it take to implement API for the communication features like game comment and player messages? This would enable off-site solutions.

3) Emails. I use a separate Gmail account for gmr mails and that works pretty well for me. The killer feature would be the possibility to answer to comments and messages. This would serve all my communication needs.
As a minor tweak I wish the turn notification mail-topic would include the game number or name. As it is, they get grouped weirdly.

4) Instead of a custom made comment+pm system, could it be an viable alternative to reuse an existing? Steam maybe? This might save some work and take load off the server.

5) On more general terms: Why not open source all of it?

Seems like the server is down :/
