Er, no.

The number of hours until hosting does not change with time zone.
Only the time of hosting changes...

Chris is correct in the absolute sense. The hosting interval does not change. Everyone keep in mind that current hosting interval is 56 hours and all hosting intervals are measured from server's time zone. So it may effectively seem as though some people have more time and some have less. That is what I was trying to get at.

Edit:

For example: At the location of the server hosting may occur at 3 PM Monday PST, if you were in EST, the hosting would appear to occur later in the day at 6 PM EST (so it seems as though people in EST have 3 hours longer than those people in PST). It is Monday for everybody across these time zones, but it appears that you have longer to get it done (I.e you've had the whole day and now tis past sunset).

the game hosted again????
how is this possible when van, hel, and TC all staled?

[AlgaeNymph]

How is it possible that we staled? I thought I sent my turn in. This server really needs turn reminders.

[Stagger Lee]

I'm pretty sure this morning Vanheim's turn was in. Only Helheim & TC on my team were missing.

[chrispedersen]

Well, here are my guesses:

1. I'm guessing the nations that staled submitted the wrong turn. I've tried to recommend that the turns be verified that they are for the correct turn before they are accepted.

2. I'm guessing either sept advanced the timer the wrong way (doh) or gandalf is still counting turns received, which you cannot do.

GP: whats the matter with doing a simple

Set processTurn = True

if not exist nation1.2h then PT=False else ProcessTurn
if not exist nation2.2h then PT=False else ProcessTurn
If not exist nationn.2h then PT=False else ProcessTurn

If Countdown to host = 0 or ProcessTurn=True then KickOffHost.Script


Also, in terms of the game: I'm glad to hear from algae and some of the blesseds, and to see Lanka got a turn in.

Can we get a list of who isn't getting played?

And before its asked, yes team Ax supports a rollback. Two of our members got incomplete turns in, so we'd like it for everyone - but we can live if its only staling members.

[Gandalf Parker]

Vanheim was showing the whole time as being "wrong turn"
We had 2 matched serials.
And 3 nations did not submit a 2h
../NaV/early_helheim.2h: No such file or directory
../NaV/early_tienchi.2h: No such file or directory
../NaV/early_caelum.2h: No such file or directory

[chrispedersen]

I'm pretty sure that vanheim was not displayed as a wrong turn.
I'm not 100% sure - but I was watching pretty closely as Grudge and I were trying to get a turn in for arco.


But the question is Gandalf - I know that it showed 10 hours or so to host. How did it come to host with three nations unsent in?
