[Septimius Severus]

The failure to reset the displayed hosting timer rests with me to some degree, as I didn't want to bother reminding Gandalf to do it, especially since we were moving to 48 this turn anyway. I also assumed that Gandalf would remember to remove it. That could be considered partly my fault since I have overall responsiblity. I have the feeling people tend to view me as rather harsh and tough on time and turns anyway and I hate to reinforce this.

It is evident though that at least 40 hours did elapse before the turn hosted. I am biased of course in this decision as two of my teammates are among the 3 that staled. That is why I have asked Gandalf to use his discretion.

I want to be fair, even if it means a decision that is not favorable to my team. We do need to get going one way or the other soon. In the absence of a decision by Gandalf or objections (and as much as I may dislike rollbacks myself) I will order a rollback be commenced immediately, all turns already submitted retained, 8 hours put on the clock,and the 3 staled to get their turns in. After that 8 hours is up, we move forward one way or another and proceed at our regularly scheduled 48 hour host.
