Troubling Times: Game over, Marverni wins

Let's kill the slow ones It's big map, long game, so we want only people that can submit turns fast

Yeah, I set the turn to 48h (instead of 24) for the first turn right after starting the game in case people had trouble with the map, or mods, or whatever, so we had time to solve it. But apparently the llamaserver already adds 24h to the first turn (for this very reason presumably) so we ended up with 72 instead of 48. In any case, I'll set the next turn to 24h again, so the pace should pick up soon.

i just noticed, that i made my turn and then forgot to send it in, so i am rather grateful for the long time on the first turn

Only C'tis left? Executor? Is there a penalty for last? Can't expand on Turn 2? Give all gems to random opponent? Abandon hope Ye who enter here.

What exactly is the holdup? It's turn friggin' 1.... Wake up. Take turn. It takes literally 5 seconds.

I propose an all-against-one alliance against C'tis just to speed the game up.

the "penalty" for an early stale is usually an early defeat, at least that's been my experience

I've played some games with Executor but I don't remember him to be a slow player.
There should be reasons for that...

I'm in another game with him right now. He was in the process of moving and I believe that there is an internet issue.

[Amhazair]

Thanks for letting me know. He certainly hasn't opened the PM I sent him yesterday yet. Could you point me to the game thread in question, I'll see if there's more info there and/or if that game's admin knows something.

It's the Song of Ice & Fire game; Perhaps Corwin has some news.
