Originally, I was going to turn off the timer for 3 days over Christmas and 2 days over New Years, but frankly that might be alot of work for Gandalf so I figured we'd just let people choose an option and go with it for the whole period. Less work that way. If you'd prefer I stick with that original plan, that can be done as well.
Look, all I am saying is cast your votes. Lets hear what everyone thinks. To answer Chris' question, in the unlikely event the vote should come to 8 to 5 in favor of remaining on schedule, I would make a judgement call (since finding 5 subs might be quite difficult) and likely choose the 72 hour option. That way I give the majority what they want, but also give the 5 extra time to get their turns in. Everyone's happy.
I must say, I have to tip my hat to Chris. He's got the energy of a noob, the courage of Algae Nymph, and the wisdom of the good doctor. What gumption! What moxy! What gaul! Chris, I must have you for co-admin in game 2. And I encourage you all to keep the free flow of ideas and debate going (keeps our thread on top)

So let me clarify for everyone before you make your decisions (some already have). When I speak of turning off the hosting timer that means we will be effectively running on quickhost/fasthost only. In other words, the game will only host if everyone get's their turns in. It is NOT the same as turning off quickhost/fasthost which only means that hosting will proceed exactly at 48 or 56 hours, or whatever the interval is. Regardless of how fast turns come in. I apologize if anyway has been confused over my wording. I personally will be fine with any of the 4 options, though I lean toward the 72 hour interval over the entire holiday period mentioned to ensure at least some turns get in. But that is just me.
