MP: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)

[Jorus]

Thanks everybody for the support. I felt like I was on the hot seat every morning at 0830 to get my moves in. I actually did most of the move the night before and then I had problems this morning and couldn't connect = Stale.

Gandelf, this brings up a point perhaps you can think about long term - there should be the possibility of "provisional" orders. These would only be used if no final orders are received by the turn's time deadline. I could have sent in my "provisional" orders last night to avoid a stale, but at the same time had the option to submit final orders by the deadline.
I think many players are hesitant to send in orders until they are 100% complete because they don't want to allow the server to host a new turn prematurally.
