I have no idea how this can proceed from here. @JaneHatke had over 22 hours remaining when kicked out. Seriously, how do you score something like that? I don’t want the win - it’s just so unfair.
IMHO, best bet might be to just abandon this and hopefully, revisit when and if Twin Sails fixes it?
It might take a concerted effort. I’ll pledge to contact their support with our complaint but we’d be better served by others contacting them as well.
TfM = new update in App Store as of 2 days ago.
Version history attached. I’ll be emailing them later today about the problems previously stated by us. To put it mildly, I do not trust them and will demand a response. I would play a friendly or two just to confirm if anything has changed.
It would be fun to have another tourney but only as long as we have a reasonable expectation it will function as planned.
‘Many other fixes’ is, I suggest, doing the same sort of Herculean lifting done by my admission that I ‘occasionally’ masturbate.
Contacted Twin Sails just now with a report on the bug that kicked @JaneHatke and that only one player can see the game end results.
If they fix the end game scoring “feature” I will eat my copy of Terraforming Mars. And it’s sleeved…
IIRC that was an intentional choice.

*victim of AI replacement in final round.
We made it to a multiplanetary future despite an AI uprising in the final round.
As the top 3 tables were successfully completed, I think we can take at least the top places as valid.
Accordingly, congratulations to @OhBollox as the justly-crowned first Ruler of Mars.
Thank you all for persevering. I look forward to a happy future where the bugs are stomped and we can run a second tournament.
