Sorry no japanese.. any dutch ?
Grr I really wish I could see how many people (and which ones!) have not yet submitted their turn yet... since its turn 2 it takes me only 5-10 minutes to do a turn so we could have at least 2 per day at this stage ?

Did the turn file for turn 3 get sent yet? I didn't receive it if so.

Very well I will update this forum once most of the turns are in, so as to out the stragglers.

Today's straggler is: Oceania

I sent him a reminder email yesterday.

I think it might be a good idea to just host every 24 hours, unless someone e-mails you to explain their turn'll be late. So if people are late they'll just stale - it'll keep the game moving much better.

I agree with that.

It's certainly not a bad idea, although we should be charitable... send out a reminder email at a predetermined hour (say 24 hours after host) then host if the person hasnt responded in another 12 hours or so. None of us like to have the game slowed down, but we should try to be understanding if there's a legitimate reason.

Well its good to be nice, but hosting a game is already extra work, add to that nursemaiding 14 players, that would quickly become painful, I guess.

I think that it makes sense to possibly give a bit of leeway if a player sends an e-mail saying he's going to be late, and otherwise just host it, because people can almost always send e-mails in advance if they're not going to have a chance to take their turn.

Anyway, sorry, whatever you think best CJ.
