Chris,
Rest assured. Blacklisting is not something automatic. You need to
be accused by someone, probably someone in the game, who will bring
it to the judgekeeper's attention, who then can take action. Some
obvious things which go against the DPjudge rules, such as a GM
who's at the same time a player, is simply flagged by the judge as
erroneous player data; the game won't continue until that is solved.
So, first question: Are you a player in that game? If so, you will
need to find someone else, either among your friends or an outsider
(preferably someone who already GM'ed games on the judge) to do the
GM'ing.
Second, you're better off creating a new private game from scratch,
adding "BEGIN season year phase" in the body of the CREATE message,
whereby "season year phase" is set a season earlier than your
current season. E.g. if you're entering Spring 1904, write "BEGIN
WINTER 1903 ADJUSTMENTS", in case of Fall 1910, write "BEGIN SPRING
1910 MOVEMENT". Let your friends join the game, and after they've
joined change the status file to represent the current situation.
Then send a message to the judge with the master's signon and a
single "PROCESS!" command on the second line. That should cause the
judge to process the turn and show the correct map.
In case a few players were already eliminated, you can already fill
in
FRANCE
PLAYER DUMMY
before people start joining (you can possibly already do it in the
CREATE command, though I never tried that).
Hope this helps. If you need a GM, just ask.
Mario.
