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?

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?

48h turns on turn 30 are common, so i dont think that lots of people will object

I wouldn't mind a change over to a 48 hour schedule.

With a marriage going on, however, I suggest a 72 hour quickhost setup, at the very minimum. If you find the time, we can continue playing the next turn. On top of that, you don't have to worry as much if the preparations keep you exhausted and your fiancee - soon to be wife - keeps you up ALL night after the wedding...

Of course, if you got her hooked on Dominions 3...
Just so long as you're not getting married in World of Warcraft.

A 48 or perhaps 72 hour schedule sounds good to me. We can go back to 30 later in the week if everyone wants to.
