MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Rejects)

[Sheap]

I agree, this will be a quite cramped game with lots of combat, although not, I think, more cramped than the developers originally intended.

I'm not sure it will be necessarily harder than a big map. You will just find out if you are losing, sooner

I take it the game is currently set to Quickhost, without a set number of minutes / hours, since it doesn't say how many hours until the next hosting?

[Sheap]

That is correct. I really dislike stale turns right at the start of the game. During the first 5 turns or so I think even one stale can really put you at a bad disadvantage. However if people are consistently lagging then I will have no problem letting them go stale, we cannot have the game become delayed just because of slow people. Since turns at this point take only a couple of minutes everyone should be able to get them done in time.

I was hoping, that everyone would turn by the "normal" turn time and I could put the server back on regular 24 hour non-quickhost. Everyone got their turn in but one, unfortunately.

Given that he's apparently in Germany, he's probably asleep right now. Typical lazy slacker.

And it looks like he's recently posted, so our sleeping princess has awakened.

Your turn, Princess!

And here I thought that "No quickhost" meant, you know, no quickhost. A regularly paced game. Not one that drags on and on waiting interminably for people who can't bother to take their turns even though they signed up for the game knowing it was going (excuse me, supposed) to be 24 hour turns, period.

There is no dragging going on. The game is, other than the time lost to restart, on schedule. And everyone's turn is in, actually, except mine (busy day, sorry). I'll be putting the game on 24 hour hosting tonight once I have turned.
