Turn 1 has hosted with one AWOL (Pangaea)
Abysia is still anonymous on the mosehansen server.

Two points of interest. According to the mosehansen page (I'm not with a copy of Dominions so I can't check there):

1) There is only 9 minutes until the next turn; and
2) Abysia has taken his turn already (now an AI?)

EDIT: The hosting time just reverted to 1440 minutes

Man... you must have been checking that often.

I wasn't sure how the host time would be updated. When I first set it to 24 hours it reset the time, so we would have had to wait another day (or when Pangea took their turn). So I set it to 10 minutes to advance the turn, and then back to 24.

All should be good now.

Pangea is AWOL again. They are passworded so I can't set them to AI.

Sadly Abysia is AI now...

Otherwise it looks like all is good.

Feel free to offer tribute to Pythium... they are the COOLEST nation... that starts with a P... that has played their turn.

I will try to host the game when everyone but Pangea has entered their turns.

I will change the host time to 15 minutes, wait for it update, and then set it back to 24 hours.

Given the recent oddities concerning turn submissions in other games I am going to leave Orania alone (instead of forcing the hosting).

If you guys still want me to force host the game let me know, otherwise I will leave it alone and hope that we don't experience any of the problems that other games are having.

The monologue continues...

I did get a couple of in game request to continue the force hosting. Hopefully we don't run into any problems.

For some reason the game has been stopped. I try to restart it, and I get a message saying it has been restarted.

Then when I check the status it is still not running. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

I would surmise that somebody has uploaded a 2h in the new patch, while the Mosehansen server has not patched. Thus, The System Is Down.

That, or something is broken.

I think you are probably right about that. You can even look at the stopped games to see the Last person connected. Which was most likely the person who uploaded the turn.

If this isn't the case then please post to let us know, as that will help debug the problem.

ie.

If you have not applied the patch and are still shown as the connected person on the game detail screen on the stopped games then please inform us.
