[Rails-devel] Multiple Start Packets?

[Michael A. <out...@gm...>]

Everyone,

    It looks like support for multiple start packets partially exists, but
is not complete.  None of the existing games use it.  I think that it would
cleaner for 1880 to start with two start packets instead of one, since
there are two stages to the start - (auction off privates, then pick
foreign investors).  Does this seem reasonable?  Is it ok if I work on
finishing the support for multiple start packets?

Please do.  I'm waiting for this (and for 2.0 to land) to resume work
on 1837 (where I plan start packet 1 = privates, coal, and Sd companies,
start packet 2 = KK and Ug companies).

Nothing to object. Two things to consider: The Round mechanism will 
change for Rails 2.0, but there is no promised date for this to happen, 
so maybe not that important. However it is easy to break the StartRound 
class, it happened to me and others before. So run the automated tests 
frequently.

So if I'm writing something like this that is not 1880 specific, which
branch should I be working in?  rails 1.7.x?

I have a test that's failing before I changed anything
(1935_PRHasTwoExcessTrains).  Does everyone else have this issue?
