Ubercat

Just checked the llamaserver site, and the turn timer says 'Turn 3 due 07:10 Monday 30th' which is great for me in theory, but what happens if the current 'turn 3' outstanding turns get submitted right now for example (currently Saturday 28th 21:00 GMT) then what happens? Will :-

a) the 'turn 4' timer gets set to 'Turn 4 due 21:00 Sunday 29th'. or

b) the 'turn 4' timer gets set to 'Turn 4 due 21:00 Monday 30th'

As if a) happens, I'm going to miss that deadline, as it's 'turn 4' I'll need an extension for and not 'turn 3'. And since I've already submitted my 'turn 3' now, I've lost 'control' (sort-of-speak) of being able to influence when the game hosts.

Sorry about any problems I'm causing, just want to be sure I don't stall this early on.

If the turn processed now, then yes, the 24 hours would start over again from right now. I will watch that and re-delay if a turn runs soon.

I had the same issue myself last year. I needed a delay and was expecting a turn to run soon. I knew that getting a delay right away would be pointless so I asked the admin to do it after the current turn ran. I've anticipated the possibility and should be able take care of it barring an emergency of some sort.

Many thanks for keeping an eye on the turn timer for me Ubercat. Two big thumbs up for doing that :-)

Hopefully I won't actually need the delay to be more than a few hours, as I should be able to get my turn in by Monday 10am GMT at the latest.

Tales from the lands of Fomoria are sparse and scattered in these early days.

Many continue to long for a return to their watery homes of old, but life above ground isn't proving as unsavoury as most feared.

There is a story spreading around the towns of first contact being made with a nation of very tiny people. The increasing number of giants in the land are still amazed that such small beings can exist in the world. But word is that the Fomorian ambassadors will treat their small visitors with respect while they consider their diplomatic options.

One other snippet of news worth reporting from Fomorian lands is of a growing unease being felt by the followers of Enfys Dewin towards their knowledge hungry ice cousins from Niefelheim. Many can be heard saying the oft repeated maxim that too much knowledge possessed by one is a danger to all.

The world currently seems to be quiet. How long will it remain so?

(sorry guys, I've been on the road and a lot of screwy stuff has been happening with my internet connection, between Starbucks, hotels and random other-peoples' networks . . . so I sent my turn this morning, but it didn't go through. Sorry for the delay!)
