MP: Mo-Fr 12.00hUTC fixed scheduled (running again

Whatever glitch that was plaguing the server seems to have subsided, so if it's not a problem, I'll reinstate the timer sometime after Tuesday 1200 UTC to go off again on Wednesday.

Thanks Norfleet!

Second Game: delayed for unknown time. Since there is no immediate emergency anymore and only three persons uploaded their pretenders, my colleague just decided to take his server offline again.

He has to do some maintenance on it and doesnt need the server for himself either for the next few weeks. So I consider the second game cancelled, sorry. If the server is up again and available, I will post it in this forum...

However, I am happy to participate in a 48h (non-weekend) hosted game if someone else wants to start one...

Should the timer have gone off at 1200 UTC today? Doesn't seem to have (just as well for Marignon).

Oh, yes, let me turn that on now.

Despite submitting a turn yesterday evening (about 7pm UTC IIRC), I seem to have Staled after the 12pm processing today. Has this happened to anyone else? Have there been two turns processed since then?

Grrrr.

Hmm. We did have a phantom stale in another game, but that problem hasn't occurred again with anyone else. Did you receive any strange Messages to accompany your stale?

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is a peculiar interaction between quickhosting and timered hostings. How much time did it say you had before the hosting, prior to a stale? Hopefully you didn't miss anything of life-threatening importance.

I think it must have been the second option; Last night's orders were executed (my army's in a new province etc), then I've received an extra turn's income and the Stale turn message. I didn't actually look at the "hours before hosting" indicator, unfortunately. I just assumed we were on the normal schedule.

Chazar, can we live without Quickhosting? I'd really rather do without the uncertainty it engenders, and barring Act of God, it must have been the quickhosting option that caused this.
