Just checked, and I haven't received any emails regarding the game.

I think I added you to the turn notification script, didn't I? Have you received mail now? Look in your spam folders and white list the sending address in case they are in there.

why hasn't the next turn hosted yet?

i don't know. there is some weirdness going on. if you log onto the server in game, it has rolled over to the next turn interval time-wise. however the turn has not hosted. if you log onto the turn page via the website, it shows there is still about an hour left before it hosts.

i'm guessing that it will host when the timer on the website indicates it will; i'm not sure why the in-game interval and the website interval are out of sync though.

Jomon is the holdup. I PM'd them, but I doubt they will receive it in time. the person probably thought they've already done their turn, and isn't checking in to the server. does this server not send out reminder emails?

oh wait!!!

time remaining is in the negative, so its is passed the hosting. never hosted, and is now going into negative time. very weird. i don't know what to do. i wish jomon would do their turn, maybe that would fix it.

Might be similar to the problem I had earlier (due to me using WinXp, apparently.) It was showing that I had not moved even though I had.

Ich turned off (or forgot to turn on) the timer for our game, I guess.

The server was rebooted for a system upgrade. The turn notifications script doesn't read the actual game timer from the networked game, but just operates on the time of the last hosting. If the server timer gets reset, it gets confused.

Other than that, nothing crazy should have happened. Or did it?
