I can't deliver my turn notification mails to Abysia / Coturnix, they are rejected:
Code:

Please tell your email provider that what I am sending is no spam and/or whitelist my sending email address, if possible (the same you sent your pretender files to). Otherwise I can't send you turn notification mails and you have to check that you play your turns on your own, increasing the chance to miss the hosting of a turn due to error.

Up finally )
Look forward to have fun with all of you in this game!

Yup! same here! Also, won't it be better if we speed up for the first few turns? 48 hours seems a bit long - or will the turn automatically start once all the orders are in?

[lch]

It will automatically host as soon as everybody has played his turn. You will then even receive an email from the server, so if you monitor your emails closely you'll know about it immediately. Otherwise looking at the stats page tells you how far the game has progressed so far. Usually the game picks up some speed after everybody is familiar with the process, the other Newbies game that has started on about Monday is at turn 5 now. But since the players are usually from very different timezones and somebody might have troubles with the game configuration or other problems that spontaneously pop I leave the game timer at 48 hours as a precaution.

[WonderLlama]

Coturnix, is everything alright? You're running out of time for the first turn. Did you run into any technical problems? Have you tried your turn? If you've tried and hit problems, I bet someone here can help. If you haven't, you really should try your turn right away, in case you do run into technical problems.

To answer shard's question of a few posts ago: Every site has a difficulty level for finding between 0 and 4. If it is zero it will be automatically uncovered when the province is captured. Otherwise a mage of the appropriate level has to do a search to find it. Hence a level 4 water mage is guaranteed to find all water sites in a province when he does a search. He does have to actually do the search though.

We have received reports from our remote border wardens of Pythian watchforts being swarmed by a large body of flying creatures accompanied by mammoths and a slew of horrific living dead. While we prefer to stay out of the affairs between neighbouring nations such a potential threat to our own people cannot be taken lightly.
