Allow saving in N!
MaiZure:
Has N! cheating been a real issue around here?
EDIT: and I mean 'real' as opposed to theoretical
Tormuse:
Personally, I've never really had an issue with not being able to save on N! difficulty, but I still would like there to be some kind of exception for N! Ao100 games, since those take a really long time, (at least for me) and all it takes is a one second power blip to ruin 1 day's (or more) work.
This especially applies to a certain new challenge mode being introduced in 0.9.9.7. *You* know which one I'm talking about, Kornel. ;)

That is supposed to be a grind, not fun. =P

Are you kidding? N! begins with the question:

And you're complaining about the continual handicapping of fair players?
Cheat-prevention is not impossible. But it is possible to raise the bar of cheating to the point that the effort to cheat becomes much more than just you know, playing the game. Also a design decision. If you can convince Kornel, I won't have anything else to say on the matter.

Eh, I know a couple of people who do it, but they don't submit mortems with them. As far as I'm concerned, N! cheating (and publicly showing outcome) is minimal.

Nevertheless, my point still stands. You know what's worse than getting to N! level 90 only to lose it all to a power failure? Getting to N! level 590 only to lose it all to a power failure! :P

That's a good reason for you to invest in a UPS, which you should be getting anyway if you are "serious" about your computers. =)
