That was the plan, yes. Not sure it's worth restarting to get 4 provinces now though - probably take a full day or more to get everyone to upload a pretender to a corrected game.

Sorry, I must have missed the 4 provinces thing in all of the bickering and squabbling. It's been a long thread. I hope it's not too much of a problem.

I'm also strongly against restarting - I'm too anxious to get the game going finally!


As for the time:
Seems pretty correct to me, since the forum is currently at UTC-5h, and you posted at 23:13h forum-time which corresponds to 04:10h UTC as you have written.

Please remember that we are guniea-pigs and enable quick-hosts. Do not set the timerintervall or any pause days. Thanks!

Don't mind either way.

Er, I mean my carefully crafted strategy has been completely wrecked and if I get elminated early that'll be the reason. Oh yes.

Just to be argumentative delaying one day to get 3 extra provinces seems a good deal as we would take over a week to get that much stuff.
Of course personally I prefer the 1 province start and after I spent 45 minutes* doing my turn I would be averse to restarting

* I mean seconds

Of course in my facetiousness I forgot my pertinent question -
What is UTC? - looks like it's what we call GMT here in London. So the turns are lunchtime-ish in Europe. Getting paranoid as there is no countdown.

Sure:
If my hideous plans of schedule are properly set and Norfleet does start the timer as he wrote down below somewhen after the next occurrence of 12:00h UTC(+0), which is in about 3h from now or Monday, 9:00h forum time(-5), the next host will take place on Tuesday, 12:00h UTC. Hosting is scheduled to take place on each weekday:
Monday 12:00h,
Tuesday 12:00h,
Wednesday 12:00h,
Thursday 12:00h,
Friday 12:00h.
The quickhost option will cause hosting to take place as soon as all turns are uploaded and cause the next scheduled hosting to be skipped so for short: you will always have at least 24h before getting a stale turn!!! If it happens to be a rainy weekend globally we might progress a turn on weekends as well, but you wont receive a stale turn on weekends if you'll manage to submit somewhen after Friday 12:00h UTC and before Monday 12:00h.

Sorry, I just cant keep it short, but believe me its much more simpler than that...

PS: I wont edit this particular post, since the edit function of the forum messes up the time stamp somewhat (the edit tag seems to be always displayed within UTC, contrary to the post time, as you can see in my previous Last post which was edited almost immediately after I posted it, although there is a 5hour time discrepany from header to edit tag).
