Re: Hosting schedule
 

For the turn that will host 2 days after the present one 8/18, there will be only be 45 rather than 48 hours. For personal reasons i would like the game to host at 10 pm my time rather than 1 am.

I find myself waiting up for the turn, and i have to get up at 7 am, so it is affecting my sleep!

Mictlan is looking for a permanent sub. If anyone knows someone, let me know.

There are also 2 races needing subs in the big game, and LA Tien Chi is actually doing pretty well. That would be a permanent sub. Machaka is also looking for a sub for 1 month in the big game.

If you are being eliminated here, you may want to take a peek at the Big game. Or if you are doing well, but have some free time, it may be fun to see what the buzz is all about in the Big Game.

Mictlan is an important nation. I suggest we put the game on hold until
we get a replacement. (Anything for a break, that's me ;-)

Re: Hosting schedule
 

Do your turns people. At the very least I will get someone to take a turn or 2 for mictlan. Do not count on a delay.

If anyone needs a delay in the game, like Mictlan did for having a baby etc, they will normally be granted upon request.

Requests for a delay must be made on this thread, however, so the other players know why the game is being delayed.

I'll be playing my turns until a replacement is found, I just don't care to http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I don't want to leave a complete shambles for my replacement. That last stale was an accident, missed it by 2 minutes and it pissed me off.

I'll be getting the turn in about 6 tonight.

Re: Hosting schedule
 

I do not understand the logic in doing your turns at the last minute. Typically i do my turns within 30 minutes after i get the new one if i am not working etc that prevents it.

Living in New Orleans, especially in the height of hurricane season, and with our infrastructure in shambles, I have little desire to "trust" that my power and internet connection will both be working in that last 2-3 hours before the game hosts.

*if people are holding off on doing their turns early because they do not want a faster host schedule, I am going to turn off force host. So you will still get the full 48 hours to do a turn.

ReForce Host is OFF!
 

I do not want people stale turning because they are waiting until the last minute to do their turns because they do not want force host triggered.

Force host is now off. The game will only host once every 48 hours. So there is now no disincentive to turning in a turn in a timely manner.

So, even if everyone has turned in their turns, the game will not host before the 48 hour period expires. That way you can always revisit and tweak your turns at a later time, while still having a "basic" turn submitted to avoid a stale.

off for a week
 

I'm off to work in another city for a week and will not resume playing before saturday.

Re: off for a week
 

Do you want me to try and find a sub for you until you get back? Things look fairly grim judging by the score graphs.

Re: EA Lanka needs a Sub
 

It is one of the most powerful nations in the Big Game. While they are presently at war with me, it is possible, with concessions for the wrongs they have visited upon me, that I could make peace the new owner.

Regardless, they are a much more powerful nation than MA Ctis(me), so do not let a lil war with the lizards discourage you.
