Welcome back. So lets get that single turn in for Pangaea and we won't have to use up the extra 8 hours that remain on the clock as of this post.

Lingchih's job as Turn Enforcer, reminds me of a bit of the Roman Optio, who standing in the rear of the century or maniple, would help the Centurion in keeping order. The Optio might assist a wavering/dithering solider with his resolve by means of his stout staff of office (hastile).

Also reminds me of the subway "pushers" in Japan, who's job it is/was to shove the last people into the already jam packed subway cars.
