Eventide - Random Nations, Late Era (Calmon Wins!)

Weren't we doing 24-hour turns, with the host set to 48 hours in case someone needed a little leeway because of circumstances? It just seems a little weird that three people all had to go rescue the president's daughter from ninjas simultaneously.

Speed is 48 hour + quickhost. I try to do a turn every 24 hours but on weekends its sometimes more difficult especially together with girlfriends birthday

Now THAT is a good reason to need a little longer. I hope that she had a good time.

Since there are still alot of players in the game, it's natural that at least one of the players needs 32-48 hours for his turns. But I think the pacing is still good.

When I started this game I assumed most hosts would be around 36-48 hours with the occasional quicker one (I'm a pessimist - ask for the best expect the worst). My main concern was to avoid stales.

I've been pretty happy with the lack of stales and the relatively consistent 36 hour host times. We are doing better than I thought we would

. This turn has been the exception, but seeing as how I'm in 3 other games it doesn't bother me. Right now it's taking me about an hour to do a single turn here (I take my time managing my trash I suppose) so sometimes I just have to put it off until the next day.

Edit: Wait a second... it hasn't even been 24 hours yet! This turn is going just fine so far

Well, that's odd... the game tracker was showing Caelum as the nation that hadn't registered a turn, but now it's Arcoscephale that staled?

Abysia has forced us to retreat under the waves, as continuous war against first R'lyeh, and then Man and Abysia was too much even for the proud Atlanteans.

Any nation that goes to war with Man or Abysia in the future will have us as an ally, our only requirement being that we may claim back our coastal home.

True, not only the script said so, but the ingame tracker showed the same. I guess because of the timer trouble that Velusion has with his VMware hosts that it showed Arco as "missed a turn" (he must have done it immediately after hosting last turn, and the script only checks if that is more than 48 hours ago). When I had a look some hours ago the ingame counter showed 48 hours remaining, too, maybe it has been reset. Why Caelum is shown as only "Turn pending" I don't know, I guess he made his turn in time and that's why the game hosted?
