Hah! It's all relative. I think this is going to happen, probably next weekend, so I don't want to deal with all of it at the last minute. Especially if it involves asking Gandalf to take any time to get it working right for us.

Is there the ability to change the hosting schedule and whatnot without having to track down Gandalf? Would be kind of funny if we played 4 hours of turns with 15m quickhost, and then couldn't switch it to daily at that point, and 30 or more turns passed with everyone stale. >.>

You control the admin, not Gandalf. At least you should control it, since you are the main poster to this thread.

I'm not sure how you do it, with Gandalf's server, since I have never administered a game. But I am sure it is pretty easy. Just send him a PM with a request for instructions.

I'll take Arco.

I vote for normal rules allowing instant rushing.

Shinuyama!

full contact is fine with me.

There's no reason why we HAVE to put the server on 15m quickhost. Leaving it on 24hrs is fine because it will process as soon as we all send in turns.

EDIT: and just to confirm. the blitz portion of the game is this sunday only? I can do that, but may not be able to the following sunday.

We may still need a couple more people to make a proper game of it, so it may not be until next week that we try one of these.

I did want the fast turn timer on though, to encourage a sense of urgency. No staring at your neighbors for 10 mins on turn 2, debating between attacking the 30 Heavy Inf, or the 50 Deer Tribe.
