Ooh, started! Cool, it worked! w00t.
The first turn has 48 hours on the clock (in case of problems), and subsequent ones will have 24 hours.
So, How it works is that the server hosts either 24 hours after the last hosting or when everyone's turns are in, whichever is sooner. This means that the hosting time tends to gradually creep forwards. It's important to be aware of that. Remember you can check out the game status at any time at
www.llamaserver.net .
I'd like to ask for a volunteer to admin the game. The admin has to do two things:
1) If a player asks for an extension or anything then do it (provided it's reasonable; a day or two is reasonable, if they are going away for a week they should get a sub). It's super easy via the interface on the website.
2) If the admin gets knocked out of the game, pass the password on to one of the remaining players.
It's a really easy, almost zero-work job, but it keeps me from having to carefully watch 20-odd game threads (which I tried for a bit, and it hurt).
Right, enjoy the game guys!
Incidentally I highly recommend roleplaying on the forums to add to the fun of the game. The FruitBat lot are getting well into it! Diplomacy is also good fun, as well as important for victory!
