And I suspect it is being force hosted

Sounds like we've got a consensus for continuing this game, and I've submitted my turn.

Norfleet, just to confirm and make sure we're clear. Are we still on Qickhost only at the moment?

That's right. It should be impossible for anyone to stale. I'm leaving it this way until everything appears to be stable again, and I've given everyone a day or so's worth of notice that the timer will be engaged following the next 1200 UTC.

Ugh, regular QH is something I need to avoid. We can't do a regular old force host like we were going to do ?

It's only a temporary thing until the problem seems to go away. The alternative being people staling if the connection conks out while the sysadmin isn't around.

Hi
I did not get a stale turn I think (I am sure I would have noticed, probably).
I did it at 10 am-ish IIRC
I am happy either to continue or to restart. I am also interested in another game.

Norfleet - is the Quickhost operating over the weekend too?

Quickhost always operates. Basically the game never hosts until everybody sends in a turn. It is impossible to stale under non-timed quickhost.

This measure was instituted due to recent server connection outages, and we will probably resume regular timing if this problem doesn't recur over the weekend.
