Just kidding. Glad your having fun.
I've got a rough external timer for those who want to check on the time left while outside of the game. It operates like the in-game timer (doesn't countdown minutes) but should give you an estimate of time left to next host (not to be used as a substitute for the in-game timer) and which nations have submitted turns so far.

If people really want the older score graphs and staling data, I can post a link for the directory instead of the current turns.
