Problems with MARTI dice server
-
Hi, I hope this is the right place to report this issue.
I'm playing a PBEM game but:
-
the emails titles start always from "round 2" instead of "round 1".
The content is ok but the titles seem moved 1 forward. -
we don't receive all the emails: for example in a 4 rounds battle we only received 1 email.
Maybe this is a temporary problem?

@limo re #2 are you using gmail? there is known issue with gmail recipients
-
@ubernaut yes we both use gmail
can be it solved somehow?
is there another way to get the dice results? -
@limo current solution is to use a non gmail account

Thanks for the replies
Perhaps, a (definitive) solution would be for the dice server to store the results by allowing people to read them from a webpage
(my 5 cents) -
We do wish to rewrite the MARTI dice server. Doing so would allow us to move it to a different machine and retire the old that is costing the project $10/month (not a lot, but for the sake of just running a 'legacy' application, we're talking about roughly 15% of our total monthly cost just in this one server).
An updated version would presumably avoid email and perhaps have an in-game integration to validate the dice rolls against the dice rolls stored on the server. Some sort of block-chain like checksum might be all that is needed to validate the dice rolls are accurate, or we could potentially do something like show the full history of what was stored vs what is in the game.
