Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)

Looks like it just skipped another turn.. Can we have it changed to only once every 24 hours or only once everyones turned? The current method of doing both seems to make it.. do both.

[Wendigo]

Yup. My turn 7 .2h file got deleted via an accident while I was trying to arrange for a sub for this weekend, so I basically stalled.

Yet the game quickhosted anyway, and it has hosted again just now and I barely made it on time to not miss another turn because I checked this morning.

Just remove the quickhost and leave the schedule if you want to force regularity. Some nations do not tipically play until a few hours before the scheduled hosting anyway, so we are not gaining any time from quickhosting...

Yeah... multiple stale turns gets a little stale=) Simple midnight autohost would be ideal.

[Gandalf Parker]

OK lets have people jump up and vote here. It doesnt matter to me since either way would leave the full game running 24 hours a day on my server.

I think I will withhold running multiple games until I can iron ut some simple file transfer methods that dont require having the host run until it does a process-and-quit hosting.

I second the midnight autohost.

I third the midnight autohost. I didn't realize that it would autohost at midnight again if everyone did their durn late.

The way it is now, the Last nation could log on and play at 11:45, do his turn, then do another turn prior to midnight, and most folks would end up with a stale turn.

I apologize. I was told it wouldnt do that. Im not sure what might have caused it so I will gladly remove one or the other option as people wish.
