One time could be some kind of glitch, now there is obviously a bug somewhere and it must be related to a recent update I did a couple of weeks ago because this never happened before.
The game was hung on Timgagnon resolving his war payment. Mabiweb and Timggagnon were able to advance past that point. But now it hangs on input from Timgagnon for famine payments.
I see another error in the game log. In Timgagnon's first instance of owing food during production the log reports "no loss (already 0)." He does need to pay a VP from the shortage of food, but can't because he has no available VP. Could this bug be tied to cases where a player has no points to lose?
Ok, I see that the other game I resurrected (77878) did finish correctly.
I think I have found the cause of the problem (not 100% sure yet, I need to fix it and test), it's probably due to an expiring session. If you load the game and take too much time to make your move then your session will expire and when you save you get an error. If this happen on the very last move, the game state will not be updated but the entry in the game manager will (and this is a bug of course, introduced recently when I changed the way an expiring session is handled).
I guess that in both cases Timgagnon left the game open in the browser until the session expired.
Sorry for the problems, I will try to fix this over the weekend.

In game 81945 the password is pandemic, but when I put it in it says incorrect password. Others have been able to enter the game so it does work.
I just checked, there was a space after "pandemic", so it actually was "pandemic ", and maybe that was the issue? I don't know how the other players joined, maybe they knew and added the space?
Anyway I have removed the space and if you try now with "pandemic" it should work.

Sounds like autocomplete vs. typing out the whole word.

On the topic of Victoria Falls, is it possible to re-roll the outcome of the Victoria Falls draw by reseting the turn and placing the wonder again?
You can reset your turn, which undoes the reveal, but once you place Victoria Falls again, it reveals the same cards, so it doesn’t offer a way to ensure favorable cards appear.
At that point, you have no choice in what to do on your turn other than where to place Victoria Falls, so it’s not like you can view the revealed cards and change your mind about whether to place the falls. However, it could theoretically help you decide what wonder to replace if you have to replace one. There are many scenarios I can think of where knowing which and how many colonies will be revealed and which cards will not appear in the next round, if there is one, can help you determine which wonder to replace.
Still though, I think it’s not sufficiently common that it’s necessary to address, since MaBi is only fixing bugs at this point, and I think the fix would be a major task. But, of course, that’s up to him.
