Hey, Szumo. No, not a t all surprised about the pretender. I figured he'd either fly or teleport away, but always good to indulge in wishful thinking. In any case, Ivan isn't really that fearsome in combat anyways, and he sure isn't helping with research. Horror marks? Pft!

Umm.... well... if you attacked my underwater provinces with your scout, you'd find I have perfectly good PD...

Cowardly Sauromantians are trying to avoid the Battle, but if they avoid it too long, i will capture their capitol.

As this current turn is due at four am... I'd like to request a shift to a 30 hour timer.

Just a heads up. I'm getting married on Friday and our families start flying in on Thursday night. Would it be possible to get the game delayed for a few days, say starting Thursday morning till at least Monday?

(Just my luck that this is the one llamaserver game I'm in that I'm not adminning.

Congratulations. I hope.
I have no problem with thirty hours or delays, myself. Despite my imminent war with the mighty hordes of Agartha (Prepare to DIE! Muahahah!). What say you, host?

As i did not see any objections to this request i will posphone hosting by 48 hours on thursday. (What should have the effect that hosting will occur on monday)

You could also just move to a 48 hour timer on Thursday. I can probably get in a turn somewhere this weekend so that would work. If you just delay the turn and I get a turn in, I'll be burning myself because the turn clock will drop back to 24 hours.

My fiancee will have some friends staying with us till next Thursday, and she might frown on me taking turns every day anyhow. Maybe the 48 hour timer would be better overall. What do people think?

IGNORE THIS POST, Out of date

From what I understand, that will work perfectly, giving 72 hours, with one caveat. Even with hosting postponed, if everyone's turn is in, the quickhost server will well, host, and get set back to the regular time. Just something to keep in mind. If, however, his turn doesn't go in, it won't host until the entire period is over.

There are several solutions
1). If you get a new turn in your email, simply go back and postpone again. This is the simplest, probably best option. I recommend this one, since it means warhammer sent in his turn, and you should only need to go back once.
2). Set turn intervals to 72 hours or even more. Then, when you're ready to resume a regular schedule, change the interval back to normal and add postpone hosting by a negative number (since reducing hosting interval leaves current turn time intact, until everyone gets their turns in at least once).
3). Postpone by so many hours, and turn off quickhosting.

EDIT: Sorrys. Busy, this post was written over the course of at least an hour. Its' out of date.
