				 Re: request  for  pause 
  I'm going to take my turn and then patch this evening. Sorry I'm taking so long but my turns are very complicated.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
 That is oki, you are fighting on many fronts so that is to be expected.
 In my opinion the game is very good, high level of skill as far as I can judge and pretty open as to who will win.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
 Yea, i too am happy with a slow schedule, my turns are also complicated, this is quite an epic struggle.
 As far as victory goes, well, i haven't quite given up hope, but it seems a very distant shore. I suspect Marignon's going to get clobbered, but that would still leave four great powers. Nobody's going to be able to take out R'yleh and  the other three of us  have very strong defences.
 
 And i agree, this game has the highest overall level of skillfull play of any i have been in. One fish in a game this size is definatly a record, and all of the smaller nations have earned glory points for stalwert and/or creative play. It's a pleasure to be a part of. My only complaint is a lack of write ups since Baalz left. I'm afraid RL is hectic for me, and i have not been feeling creative lately.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
  When the server comes back up, it will be patched. Hopefully won't be down long.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
 Marignon was cursed with lands nigh-devoid of megical income. I have searched all my provinces, and so little comes up   .
 
I too believe I will be clobbered, but if I had some gems.. o man, that would be some hectic mass damage going on   .
 
But its best I get eliminated, most of my mages are on the verge of dying of natural causes anway   |

				 Re: request  for  pause 
  Okay, some people have already patched. I have some work to do and then I'll patch and bring the servers back up. Hopefully the turns taken under the previous patch will still work.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
 Server is back up.
 I've turned quickhost *off* and raised the host interval to 72h.
 
 This way, people can do bits and pieces of their turn without worrying that it'll host, which will enable me, at least, to actually play faster since I can do a few minutes work on my turn every day.

				 Re: request  for  pause 
  I have to restart my machine.
 I'll take my turn in the morning - I had too much [censored] to do today and completely forgot about it.
 
 Sorry this restarts the timer - since I'm taking extra time everyone else should as well I will force host tomorrow afternoon (eastern time US.)
