The game says it will host in seven hours. It just hosted about an hour or two ago. I'm not sure where on the globe it's going to be midnight in seven hours, maybe somewhere in Hawaii or New Zealand, but that's for sure not midnight EST.

The clock seems to lag, so I'm having to correct it each night. But it will be midnight each night Strict

Griefor - The turn has not hosted as noted a couple of posts ago as I was giving people an opportunity to work out connection issues.

Are we still working out connection issues? I just staled without any email notification of anything.

I'm at work at the moment... so if you staled, so did I Grief.

I'm not really sure whats going on with Dominions. - I am hosting 2 games on the same machine. Adequate resources, but the second game the clock wierds out.. sometimes Aug 17, sometimes 7 hours.

But I have said it will host midnights EST, and the game automatically backs up, so if you staled for server error, I will reload.

I just waited way too long before I looked at the server again, so I would not be surprised if I timed out legitimately. The problem is that I *thought* this would be a game with emails being sent to me every time I was to play a turn and I have not received any such email until now.

The first time I asked about this you told me we were working out connection issues, now you tell me the clock is weirding out.

But my question is:
Does this game send out email notifications when I need to play my turn?

I would like either of these answers to my question:
1) Yes, this game sends out email notifications.
2) No, there are no emails and you are expected to check the server daily yourself.

Pretty sure you check yourself as the other game Im playing on this server is the same way---got the notification the game was beginning but after that you gotta check--i have a post it up with deadlines on it for my games.....usually helps

-What's best in life?
-Getting attacked by heavily blessed Niefelheim on turn five of course!
It remains to be seen whether or not I can beat back those frostbeards. If not, I might be in for a short game.

As a side note this is my third game in a row where I'm starting right next to a rush nation. It's good practise on how to fight them but man this is getting comical.

It seems weird that people are upset that they are staling..... I mean, I understand, just that I thought it was on quickhost, cause it seems like the turns are going by FAST, faster than 24h, that's for sure.

For those of you who are wondering, there is no automated function for email notification in Dom3. Llamaserver is designed to have full notices and confirmations, but is very heavily designed. Server games you can't expect any of that, someone would have to design a buddy program that would see what Dom was doing, and then interact with a mail client, it would be very complicated I think, probably more complicated than the way that Llama handles it.

The best suggestion I can give you, is just make a time that you check the games that you are playing. If they aren't hosting faster than 24h, you'll always have a turn up during your play time, guaranteed.
