Saturday ?!?
If the point is make everybody giving up and leave, this is the best way for sure.
One turn a week, every turn last until the last second, is there any motivated player left ?

I'm the admin, and I had no clue the host time was so far out. I took over hosting, and this is the first time I've done it. Maybe it was a hold over from the holiday changes we agreed to make?

I'm sorry about the delay, and I'll get it changed ASAP.

What is a good hosting window anyhow? 24 hours?

Nathan

oh oh thx for admining the game! I think we were on 72 hrs hosting? Not sure.

I think 60 hrs (2.5 days) hosting is a good compromise. What say others?

The turn 62 should be be played before Saturday, not 61.

I recommend using force host, since everyone was aware that the turn should be in today and there has not been a single ask for a delay. I don't like seeing people stall their turns but it's a lot better than losing the game.

48 h hosting interval is OK by me for now.

OK, if I don't see any request for a delay in the next few hours we'll force the turn. I'll leave the hosting interval at 48 hours.

If anyone else has any comments or questions please let me know.

@ Admin - It's starting to be annoying that turns are delayed without any notice. My plan was to play turn 65 today since I cannot play before Sunday evening. Because of this I request that turn 65 is not hosted before Sunday evening 22.00 +2GMT

I don't blame you for the delays Nrasch Maybe there is just something in the settings.

Doh, I'm very sorry. I don't know why it keeps doing that.

Does some one else have some experience hosting? I'll be happy to share the password, and we can resolve this once and for all.
