Bandar Log, it seems, has to bear the brunt of coming winter. Our capitol's temperature has dropped to average temperatures! You must understand how embarrassing this is to the nation of pantless Apes accustomed to warmer climates.

Other than that, our relations are warm and comfy and we don't understand the hurry of others to burn and pillage. They must be compensating their forthcoming impotence in advance or something.

Yeah, but you're nice and hairy. Or are you worried about shrinkage? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

I'm sad I missed all of the hullabaloo..... I take personal offense to the referencing of fascist military dictatorships violently oppressing their people.


In other news, the weather in Gath is..... well, violently oppressive. The people fear their cruel masters, and the possibility that they will return to their flesh feasting ways. I try to guide them, so that one day they will be once again comfortable having public competitions of wit and strategy. Hopefully when this goal is achieved, they will be so grateful to have such wonders, that they will remain respectful of all those responsible for the gift, and act responsibly so as to honor the other competitors, rather than only thinking of themselves before, during, or after the game.

It is a simple dream I have for my people. Is it so wrong that I consider it so noble an aspiration?

Re: Weather
 

I just turned off quickhost to guarantee that the full 24 hours elapses between turns. Quickhost will be turned back on when we go to 48 houra at turn 18.

Re: Weather
 

huh?? if quickhost is set to 24h, the full 24 hours will elapse so i dont see why the next turn has to be delayed.

EDIT: ok, i somehow read that the turn would be delayed. and not just quickhost disabled.

btw. with 60 players, there will anyway someone stale every turn and the change would not have been necessary.

Re: Weather
 

I think it's so that the time of day host occurs is consistent, instead of creeping backwards if players complete the turn before 24h. I'm in favor of it. I like knowing when, exactly, host will occur, barring technical problems.

Re: Weather
 

No quickhost makes the game host sooner if all players have played their turn.
Quickhost 24 hours means it will host when
a. all player have played their turn OR
b. 24 hours have passed

Re: Weather
 

i just did read xietors post wrong and thougt he would delay the turn, what left me puzzled. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Weather
 

It was requested by a player who wants to do his turn early, but does not want to run the risk, however slight, that the turn will host sooner than 24 hours.

Re: Weather
 

But that makes no sense? He still has 24 hours to do the turn...

Re: Weather
 

If he mails in the turn and *then* wants to make changes to it, he runs the risk of the turn hosting prior to the full 24h, which it will do if everyone else submits theirs, because it sees his turn has been submitted.
