I would prefer to keep the timer on, but I won't complain either way.

Speaking of which, I probably need to take my turn.

keep the timer on unless someone askes for a temporary pause and have a reason why they can't do a turn.

I consistently have a devil of a time get my turn file downloaded from this server - is it just me or do the other players have the same problem? I have yet to get a full download of the current turn (#8, I think), using 2 different computers on 2 totally separate net connections. If the early (100kb) files are this much trouble, what will it be like when the files are 500-1000kb?

I ask because I'm going to need a replacement in this game. I've had a ton of long-term workload dumped on me, and I need to cut way back on extraneous activities for a while. But I want to be able to tell potential fill-ins what they might be getting themselves into.

I also had this problem, but later on it went well (mayb it was a temporary thing)

I'm having no problem at all. (and my computer is piss-poor, and needs serious replacing)

I'm willing to replace you as R'lyeh, if you haven't found someone yet.

Well, as I promised two weeks ago, my sister is getting married on friday, so I'll be out of town - and away from the computer - from tomorrow afternoon till saturday evening.
