I have to say that I am little disappointed by the way the situation was handled.

I would have asked for a delay if information delivered to me had been transparent, i.e. if the official "external timer" had not lied to me. But I trusted it, and arranged complicated professional / personal life parameters so that I would connect to the servor in the timeframe given to me by the timer. In no circumstances I would stale, and if information had been clear about how much time was actually left, I would have dealt differently with all the afore mentioned constraints so that either I would send a delay request, or more probably, send my turn.

So what happened?
- Yesterday morning I got instructions for my turn from our new captain. I was in office, where no connection to the servor is possible: I checked the time left, it was 48h. So I thought "OK, I can play my turn and send it toonight."
- Then unexpected RL life constraints popped up, preventing me from accessing the internet the evening. Based on the informaiton I had accessed earlier, I know I could still send my turn the next morning and not be outside of the timeframe.
- At this point, let me remind you that depending on our RL constraints, some of us have different access to the internet. So I have to organize my schedule according to the info I get from the admin, relying on it, which is perfectly OK for me as long as the info I get when I have one access is not a false one.
- Then this morning I run again out of luck and my whole neighborhood got an electricity blackout. Again, if I knew that hosting interval had changed, I could find a solution, like finding an internet cafe. But I knew that electricity would come back before the hosting time I had seen 24 hours ago was over.
- And finally... disaster, when I eventually connected, I realized that the information based on which I had organized myself and made difficult decisions during 24 hours, had been a false one.

Now I feel very bad for having staled and jeopardized the whole game for my team, it is not like a regular MP game where each player is responsible only for himself, my situation has now consequences for the whole team and the whole delicate game balance.

Moreover, I have the feeling that I created this situation although I based my decisions on official information provided to me by a webpage set up by admins of the game.

So, in light of the events described, I would like to kindly request the admin to:
- consider again re-hosting the turn in question;
- provide reliable, transparent information to the players on hosting intervals from now on, and in particular avoid manual shortening of hosting intervals announced on the external timer.

I hope these requests will sound reasonable.

As a final note, in case these requests are not considered, I will continue the game, taking into consideration the unreliable nature of the external timer and following very closely the more complicated forum to know what is exactly happening with delays. But continuing the game will be more a matter of having a responsible behavior towards my team mate and all of you, rather than having fun.
