Note that if you are the last person the game will host when you exit, even if you aren't really done with your turn.
To avoid that, if you connect and then quit without saving, you can play the turn locally and then upload when you reconnect.

Probably not important at this stage, but when turns start taking an hour or more to do, it's nice not to have to do them in one sitting.

Just a general question; what if the server crashes at some point during a turn and while some people have submitted their turns and others haven't? Does the server save its state so you (the server's administrator) are able to bring it back up without losing any turn data?

Yes, barring crashes while uploading a turn, which could easily leave a corrupted turn file. The server just saves each nations turn in the game directory as normal.

Well, it's a fitting name, but I'm pretty sure it's the name of the devil's wife in Christianity. I got it from a site of demon names. I was going to change it, but I was the last to submit and didn't want to hold the game up. For my pretender, I wanted something hag-like (thus Black Annis), but all the hag-names I found online were stuff like "Jenny Greentooth."

Darn the English and their less-than-frightening monster names.

I thought it was a funny coincidence though. Which Lilith dies first?!

Default Mod issues.

Ulm accidentally made their God with CB 5.0 and can't connect. Can he resend his God? I'm guessing that might require a game restart as well.

ok, my bad. I'm a dumbass. I just noticed I was using mod 5.0 to make my god. I just updated to 5.2 >_< I hope we don't have to fully restart or anything.
