I'll be gone in about 11 hours. Problem with manual processing is that for fairness reasons, opportunity to submit a turn should be given to the 4 still missing players, who could have tried submitting the turn in the Last 6 mins remaining before deadline when the server was switched off. At least Hippocrates was interrupted in the middle of uploading, as already posted. Really bad bad timing - just 10 mins later and everything would have been fine. Bad luck.

NGC is a 20 player game with roughly 250 systems, about half of the players remaining and I own my share of the map plus 1 or 2 systems. Really not the game for a replacement player, he would need hours just to find through.

I guess the turn will be run manually a few seconds after I will have left, counting on my bad luck. If I can't download a copy before leaving so I can do an emergency turn on the weekend and try to get a turn or email into pbw somehow on monday, I will have no chance. I'll email Tesco depending on what will have happend before I leave, switching the game to ALPU for next turn might be an option that could save me.

Too bad, it was planned ahead to work with optimal timimg, now it has turned into maximum disaster timing just because of 6 minutes...
