I'm very happy this game is going very fast, considering part of the players have work to do etc.
But ...
I put my hands ahead beforetime, I have to go to Rome for work (this is a rare event indeed) next thursday 16 and I'll return the day after, friday 17 (oh oh ...). I don't know if the Last turn I can make will be thursday morning very early (about 07AM) or afternoon (about 05PM). The next turn will be probably friday at 11PM.
This means an idle time of 55-70 hours.
Could you wait for me? It is very difficult for me to find a substitute for some turns, but if you can't accept it I'll try to find one or I'll be idle.

PS: all my times are GMT+1 (central europe), so adjust times accordingly for yor zone (west coast is -9 and est coast is
-6, I think)

Thank you.

No problem changing this to 48 hours upon request. I said in the thread that I would do that, so the other players cannot legitimately complain.

Having never done this before, I am not all that certain how it works. I assume that I must make the change BEFORE you move so it will be in effect while you are away. if anyone knows for sure how this works on Mose Hansen, I would appreciate your wisdom.

What you need to do is post in here on Wednesday evening (your time) and remind me to do this. I will adjust the time about 7 PM my time. I am GMT-7, so this will be in the middle of the night in Italy.

You can make your move on Thursday and then have a minimum of 48 hours to make the next one. While you are away, I will change it back to 24 hours, unless that weekend is when Krool Death needs the extra time. In that is the case, I will leave it at 48 hours throughout the weekend.

In short: When you change it the host time to 48, the next hosting will be in 48 hours.

Submitted turns should no longer be lost, though I haven't had this confirmed outside of my own testing.

Hope this helps.

OK, I think I have it.

Just to be safe, I will change the host schedule to 48 hours before moving. Then I will then do my turn and hopefully it will not be lost. Next, the current turns host normally, either by quickhost or by the 24 hours running out. The following turn will then immediately show 48 hours to the next host.

I can then do the reverse to change back to 24 hours.

By the way, your math is wrong. Are you a lawyer or something?

From 7 AM Thursday to 11 PM Friday is only 40 hours.

No, I'm a computer scientist. That's why your windows goes blu .

You were right, in fact I edited my previous mail because I put in a wrong Last turn day (I never really learned well days in eng). I'll do the Last turn on Wednesday cause I'll depart after work in the late afternoon. I hope to have the time to pass from my house to do the turn. Unfortunately the idle hours are correct.

Beorne, if it would make your life easier, I should be able to act as a temporary replacement player while you are away. Be warned you should give me some instructions though, as I am not a big fond of Vanheim.

HEY! I'm a lawyer and take exception with your foul dispersion on my beloved profession. What? Are you an Engineer or something?

lol, I am an engineer. How'd you guess???

But my daughter is taking pre-law at the University of Oklahoma. So I am going to have to quit with the lawyer jokes at some point in time...
