The e-mail records should show that I sent my turn in 2-3 minutes before the host. Or /at the very least/ I didn't get my "new" stale turn until after I had sent in last turn's orders.

Nobody has to do anything, really, Llamabeast just uses everyone's old turns, sticks in the one that I submitted earlier, and rehosts. It's quite painless.

well, i haven't looked at what is most likely an uninteresting turn, so it's no skin off my back.

do i email llama about the issue, or can it be done through the admin panel?

I don't like rehosting. Its not a matter of players not having to do anything but the problem is battles can turn out differently or good events that don't happen or become bad events in the re-host. I had both a battle that went well and a good event last turn. Who knows what happens in the re-host?

Sending in a turn 2-3 minute before is rolling the dice IMHO. If I staled in that case I wouldn't ask for a re-host. I'll defer to the group though.

Basically, yeah.

I'm a convention chair, and our convention is being hosted next weekend. I JUST got done putting in the order for the convention book. Ugh.

Well, I won't object if nobody else has a problem. But i'd say if there are 2 or more players who will be hurt by the re-host, we should just power through it.

I think we'll probably re-host then, unless someone else speaks up. All in all, given the situation, it's ok.

however, if no one tells me exactly what I am supposed to do, I won't bother

i'll wait to give others time to object.

Just contact Llamabeast and tell him to rehost the last turn, using all the old save files, and to stick in the one I sent in late in. He'll know what to do.

I don't like it. Shall we rehost every time someone staled? Everyone has a good reason for it.
Archaeolept is very flexible and gives extentions everytime someone needs it, after all.
