When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).All empty circles must be filled, if possible.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: "No player may chose to place colonists in San Juan if he has empty circles on his player board. When you have this names sorted out, then the text is easy to understand: What to do? You store them on "San Juan", or also called in the rulebook "small city of San Juan". Thus: You have no empty circles on the buildings/plantations (the city) or plantation tiles (the island), but you still have a few colonists. "San Juan" or "small city of San Juan" is an own place, situated on "the island" but not the same as "the island"! On "San Juan" you can store your colonists if you cannot place your colonists on your "player board". Your "player board" consists of both "the island" and "the city". In "the city" there is 12 spaces where you can place your buildings. Remember that "San Juan" is not the same as "the island"! On "the island" there is 12 spaces, each for a plantation tile. If you mix them up, then the rulebook doesn't make sense. I totally understand your frustration! What is difficult is that the rulebook speak about "player board", "the island", "the city", "player's tiles", "San Juan", "small city of San Juan" and so on. If a mayor forgets (players may remind him) to place new colonists on the colonist ship, players later place the minimum (number of players) on the colonist ship. ( Note: This rules seems is probably for later turns after a Builder phase has been selected and people cannot remember which new buildings have been built, and therefore how many colonists are supposed to be on the ship.)Īs his last duty, the mayor puts new colonists on the colonist ship to be used in the next mayor phase. It seems silly to place only the minimum number of colonists in the ship if "forgotten" at this point, and I can see how this could be exploited by players to not end the game as soon as it normally would. Since it is the last thing a player does during their turn, the first opportunity to remind them is after a new role card is selected or the Governor placard is moved (since otherwise it would still be during their turn.). Thus, a player may move a colonist placed on a circle or San Juan in an earlier round. All your colonists can be moved each mayor phase, including ones acquired during earlier turns.Ī player may place his new colonist(s), together with all the colonists he acquired from earlier rounds, on any empty circles on the tiles on his player board.
