I've had a request for fixed hosting, a request to slow the game down, and at least one request that the game host less erratically. So, I will change the hosting schedule to be Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 10 am EDT. If anyone has a problem with this, let me know.

Incidentally, if anyone knows how to use the --hosttime flag to specify more than one day, I'd love to hear it.

You might be able to do that by using --postexec to call up a script that closes Dominions and starts another instance, this time with a different --hosttime.

A 48 hours timer skipping Sundays might also work out for you, but I haven't tested --skipday. That, and the hosting hour will slowly drift away... though you could set it back to 10 am once it has drifted by an hour or so.

You might also be able to set up a scheduled task that brings down the game at 10 am, forcehost the turn and brings the server back up. Well, none of the three solutions are particularly elegant (the last one excepted, where it works well for PBEM).

Turns out you can simply give the --hosttime argument more than once. Talk about elegant!
