Chris, see my PM response. There did not appear to have been any early hosting server errors from what I could tell on my end.
Pyg, have you been hitting the sauce?
"Beware Caacrinolaas!"
It looks like we had 3 or so responses to the holiday delay options. I am going to edit the 3 options I mentioned as option 1 and option 3 were probably too extreme. If a delay or slowdown is desired by the majority of players over the holidays we'll likely do one of two things:
The question is when to begin and how long should it run so if we take Ling's suggestion about the customary year end period:
A. We can shut off the timer from December 24 - January 2nd. What scares me about this idea, while it sounds nice, is there is the possibility that no turns get processed at all if everyone doesn't submit. That's 9 or 10 days.
B. We can implement a temporary 72 hour (3 day) or 96 hour (4 day) hosting interval to cover the same period. This ensures that we get in at least 2 if not more turns over the holiday. If there is going to be a delay this would probably be my personal preference.
So I think I'll put a poll up on our forums asking two questions: 1, whether to institute a delay or slowdown in the first place, and 2 asking which of these 2 or 3 options people prefer. Then I'll put it to Gandalf as far as which may be easier for him to implement. This will give us something to work with in the meantime anyway.
