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.

Gandalf,

There is no need to apologize. This is my first MP experience, and I am having a wonderful time. I don't really expect to win or even Last long, truth be told...but who knows?

It's a wonderful experience, and I think all of us understand that it's your first time to host a MP game. We appreciate your willingness to host for us.

You are way ahead of me if you can figure out how to make it stop hosting after everyone does their turns.

I vote for midnight autohost only. These constant stale turns are a pain.

OK looks like a majority is in, or the fact that the GameMaster said to (I didnt notice that sooner). Changing it now.
