It's like waiting for the sequel to a movie - you start to forget what's happening by the time it comes out.

Are we on 48h quickhost? It's nice to give the buffer if people need it, but equally nice if we can keep the pace up on occasions when everyone is able to post their turn in a timely fashion. <3

Why don't you join more games then, or hell you could just play against each other thats really interesting.

I'm already 6 or 7 games I think - I lose count when I can't rely on turns being there at any given time.

And I thought that's what I was doing here - playing against other people.

Pythium is almost utterly annihilated at this point. I don't want to ask for AI, since I am their neighbor, and we've been peaceful, but it seems like there should be some sort of solution.

Anyways, I'd just like things to only take as long as they have to, is that wrong? If you aren't getting your turn in during the first 24h after hosting, turning on quickhost won't keep you from having the second day to do what you need to do.

And if you're the last person to go, it'll host immediately, so if you have time you can do 2 turns at once.

If the only reason why turns don't go faster is Pythium not playing anymore, we should ask Pythium whether they want to keep playing and if not, turn them into ai.

On games hosted on Llamaserver the general rule is that if a player is going to be away and cannot find a sub he/she should set the nation to AI before sending in the last turn. If this is not done, then the only one who can set the nation to AI is Llamabeast. My understanding is that its doable, but it's a pain and he's asked players to avoid this if at all possible.

That said, we shouldn't have two more weeks of stale turns from Pythium. Since I've just finished my turn and really don't want to redo it, I propose that we let this turn host (it is set to quick host BTW), and then PM Llama and request that he set Pythium to AI. Does anyone disagree?

Well, I have joined more games, but I would rather play two turns a day in one game than one turn every 48 hours in 4 games. For me, it's the immersion factor.
