streu: Now, the first replacement turn triggered the PHP Abyss check between Crystal and Colony, who are otherwise completely unrelated.

i am curious about the effects of that Abyss thing. does it also prevent those players from doing the turn after the turn that it hits?

Hi it should hit them as long as the Tim continuum sees them playing with the same registration files. If they change back to their original files it will just continue normally. This is my experience from the good old days when i was hosting by hand. This often happens if files are copied together in one folder to see both turns. I would not recommend that - it is better to play the other player in his separate folder structure, even if it is less comfortable. I have also seen player doing that intentionally to send their fleet all over the galaxy - but it was not helping them to win...
