Re: MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill
Would it be possible to extend today's next turn (which would normally occur at 7:30 EST or about 6 hours from now) until 11:30 EST tonight? I am on a business trip and can't access the game through the firewall here, and won't be able to get to an internet connection I can use (due to travel for the Holiday being discussed) until later this evening.
Once I am there I am happy and able to take turns normally however it's fine with me if we want to put the game on hold for a bit also.
If we can't extend the turn today I see no way around me staling a turn (which kinda sucks) and if the game is going to go on hold anyway for 4 days hopefully it's no big deal?

Changing the schedule this way is going to wipe out the turn of everyone who has taken their turn since this morning's hosting. (I plan to change the schedule for the holiday immediately following one of the hosts--before anyone has uploaded their turn.) [changing the hosting time on mose's server requires a restart of the game, which wipes out anyone's turns]
If not everyone is aware of the change, THEY may wind up staling if they don't get their turn reloaded by 11:30, when you propose the next host takes place.
One alternative I can think of is to set the game to "quickhost only" starting now, and Lasting for the next few days.
That way, no one runs any risk of missing their turns, and the game will host when everyone is ready.
We could then resume timed turns next week.
Thoughts?

Seems like the best option

Re: MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill
That option works for me...and if people get their turns in over the next few days we can continue to have Dominions fun while on vacation

Quick hosts sounds good.

Re: MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill
Game has been set to quickhost to accomodate those of us with irregular schedules this weekend, which may or may not be a holdiay weekend where you live.
You will need to re-upload your Last turn, as they were all wiped when I restarted the game.

Re: MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill
I'm back and ready to resume 12 hour fixed hosting schedule as soon as everyone takes their current turn.
