I know janlm, and I'm quite sure that he didn't do it on purpose.

For all we know, he might actually have been trying to do his turn.

Heavy cavalry appears to be the bane of the great Arcoscephaleian armies...Unfortunatly we have not quite mastered the fine art of disconnecting horse from chariot to form our own cavalry force. 3 chariots were burned (as well as the attached horses) as a result of my overwhelming rage.

Just something to keep in mind, the 36 hour hosting is not meant to give you 36 hours to take a turn. The reason it's 36 and not 48 is because if you take a turn at 5pm and think "oh, I have 24 hours to take a turn, I'll take it again at 5pm" guess what happenes? You've missed your turn because 5pm to 5pm is 24 hours. If I set hosting to 36 hours that means you have till 5am to take your turn again. That 12 hour window is so that you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to take a turn.

I'm turning off the timer permanently. There's so many complications with having a timer. Say I restart my computer and there's 5 hours left to hosting. That means I have to set it to host in 5 hours and then wake up on time to set it to host in 36 hours, or it will host again in 5 hours.

I could, however, set the timer at certain times of day, but then guess what happenes? If quickhost is on and someone takes a turn at midnight and I set the timer to host at 1am, then it will host twice in one hour.

From now on, only quickhost will be on and I'll keep track of hosting times some other way.

Speaking as nation in which only greatest warriors know how to stay on horse while engages in combat, we commiserate. We have invested heavily into researching highly technical 'stirup device' but no progress so far. Some young whipper snappers suggest we just copy it from heavy cavalry's lancers, but what they know?

Agarthan Troglodyte forces have sacked an outlying Arcoscephalian province! An unprovoked attack such as this is inexcusable... as I speak the Arcoscephalian armies are gearing up for war...my battle mages will turn the ground beneath your armies to ash while my Jade Lizards feast on the still smoldering flesh.

...My nation's Philosophers suggest that your people are an abomination, a half fish half human blight that is merely the result of evolution gone wrong. Arcoscephale invites any nation to join us in our pursuit of ridding the world of your evil.

Agarthan people are abominations. Our spies report they are now trying to crossbreed elephants with fishes... The sage from the smouldercone cannot let this vileness happen.

We are glad to help Arcoscephale stopping the treacherous Dr.Doom plans!
