Is this a confirmed llamaserver issue?

I don't see any other games stalling.

Before I alert llamabeast can Marverni and Fomoria both confirm they sent their turn in and the details on any response email they received?

I have temporarily increased the turn timer to a ridiculously long time until this is resolved, however once it is fixed continue playing as if it were 24 as I will change it back. If Nosantee wants we can change to 30 hr turns now since we are nearing the end of the first year.

A week? Fomoria has probably dropped out.

Pangaea is definately dropping out if this continues. I'll give it 24 hours then I'm looking for a sub or going AI.

Same goes for me. Admin needs to decide will he cater for players who are irregular and slow in doing their turns and loose the players who get their turns done in a timely manner or vice versa.

Which kind of player do you want to keep in the game?

Scheduling Dom 3 time can be difficult, but I'll always have my turn in before the end of the timer. I've been doing two turns whenever I'm last in. Sorry for any delays on my end. Feel free to let me stale if we approach the end of the timer.

Tigerblood & HooleyDooley, reread what I wrote. Somebody said that llamaserver was having some type of problem so I set the timer temporarily to a long time. The real turn timer is 24 - 30 hours, although per Immaculates request I will make sure he is back from Montreal before I shorten the timer. Everybody should be sending their turns in like there is a 24 hr timer.

I understood what you wrote the first time, but my other 3 Dom games on the same server had NO such issues.

If was an issue players SHOULD be posting such info on THIS forum for all to see.

When all I see and hear is silence, and a seriously delayed turn with no other information, I suspect the worst.

HooleyDooley, what I did I did for good reason. Llamabeast had announced a couple of weeks ago that some games were intermittently getting paused due to his internet issues and a change in his network. Since the llamaserver dom3 hosting and website are run on different computers that communicate with each other by email my concern was that we might have been on turn 10 or 11 but not receiving our turns by email. I changed the hosting schedule to be on the safe side while I investigated the claim that our game was stuck and not receiving 2h files.

In short, there was no reason for you to get your panties in a bunch. We're on schedule since there was 1 36 hour delay that was requested and it is finished. To date we have completed about 10 turns as many days which is a pretty good pace. I have no issue with how anybody has been doing their turns in this group and don't see any need to choose some players over others. There was a long turn requested and 2 people seemed to have taken advantage of it to deal with rl stuff. I see no problem in that.

Neither do I.

However, you NEVER communicated to us, the players, that there was a possible issue with the servers or that other players had requested a turn delay.

Immaculate was the ONLY player requesting a delay on the forum and his turn WAS submitted.

I am not a mind reader and if you communicated properly so that EVERYONE was in the picture I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist.


If your the only one that knows everything that's going on,don't blame others if they "jump to conclusions".

In this post yesterday I clearly informed that I was increasing the turn timer ridiculously long while investigating the llamaserver issue mentioned in the previous post.

How could I have made this clearer for you?
