Honestly, I have no idea what's going on anymore...

That said, the server has been remarkably buggy and this is no way to run a reasonable game. People need to be able to know and plan on when the turn is going to host. The way they do that is by an explicitly posted deadline - which we sort of have. Except then the timer does weird things, or it hosts before that time, or other weirdness occurs, so the posted time (as read at time X) isn't accurate half the time.

This is a huge issue. If people fail to get turns in despite submitting before what the posted time was, that is a problem.

Honestly, for non-llamaserver games (whose timer seems to be accurate), I vastly prefer what pashadawg does - sure, it requires hosting by hand, but it always hosts at the announced time and never early for any reason.
