I can understand the request for turning off Quick Host. If a person is having trouble sending in a good file (corrupt, or serial number conflict, or bad turn number) they dont want the game to "see" that it has enough .2h files and host until they manage to send in a good file.

But PLEASE people be clear which one you mean. There are 2 possible host events. The Quick Host because all of the turns are in, and the forced host because the timer has run out. If you want to turn-off the Quick Host then do not word it something like "I want a 10 hour extension" since that will only add 10 hours to the forced-host timer.

For holidays, its usually only important to change the force-host. That way setting it to a long time period will not get in the way of hosting anyway if everyone gets their turns in.

But as always it boils down to 2 things. How many people does it take to hold up everyone else. And then the final decision I receive from the person running the game. (it does no good to discuss your votes with me in PM because I dont decide it)
