{EDIT: Initially the topic was "MP: slow 99h Quick-Host", but we refined the schedule now. The acutal schedule wont change anymore.}

A topic of "50h Quick-Host" with 80 hour turns is somewhat misleading.

You might consider 48 hour, no quick hosting. (48 is better than 50 (or 80) because the turns are due the same time of day and don't shift around.)

Or 48 hour QH, and make sure you get your turn in on the Last hour or so, thus kicking off the next turn, which you take, and probably have at least 72 hours, possibly 96, before the next turn is due.

This would work especially well if you ask someone in the game to delay their turn on those weekends, helping to ensure that it takes closer to 48 hours rather than 24 or less.

If you get one going, I for one would join (especially if it winds up having any sane hourly setting - 48, 72, or 96). But you still need a hosting solution, and if it takes a month to start, I may already have a full plate.

I'm in and would like to try a big map using Abysia. I like the QH idea....

If it's a regular interval (24,48,72,96) and *not* quick hosted, I would be in for Abysia (or C'tis)

@KEL: Where is the drawback with Quick-Host? Even with Quick Host, the time limit is still at least 48h, so I dont see the drawback of enabling quick-hosting.

Or do you suggest a fixed schedule?

@ALL:
If anyone of us ecounters an open slot at moosehansen's server: grab it! If there isnt a slot available withn the next two weeks, I'll host via PBEM if no one else volunteers... (sigh)

[Chazar]

The game will move to a new server soon. Stay tuned.

...that is hopefully. I need to go to sleep right now, so if someone else takes care that would be nice. Otherwise I will look into things again tomorrow...

I notice that the game appears to be down on Norf's server. Does this mean you have the fatherland file, Chazar?

If you need me to host, I'll be happy to do so, but will need to get the file from someone.

Don't think he has the files - he sent me the URL that Norfleet gave him, but all we got were permissions denied, and in my case, directory does not exist.

So, hard to say if we'll get the fatherland, etc, and be able to continue.
