MP: Mo-Fr 12.00hUTC fixed scheduled (running again

[Chazar]

@KEL: Where is the drawback with Quick-Host? Even with Quick Host, the time limit is still at least 48h, so I dont see the drawback of enabling quick-hosting.

Or do you suggest a fixed schedule?

@ALL:
If anyone of us ecounters an open slot at moosehansen's server: grab it! If there isnt a slot available withn the next two weeks, I'll host via PBEM if no one else volunteers... (sigh)

The drawback (as I've just discovered in another game) is suddenly unpredictable deadlines. With a fixed and regular turnaround, you can get into a routine; with an ever-changing schedule - because of quickhost - you can miscalculate and suddenly find you've missed a turn, which is very frustrating.

Meanwhile, please count me in as Ulm if you find a hosting slot.

What he said. ^^^

Weekends shouldn't be a problem with a 48 hour hosting, at any rate. You could make a turn on thursday and then again on monday if you really needed to.

Ah ok, I see. I would have set a timer to 48h whenever I submit a turn, but this gives only a lower bound on the true limit and is probably too messy as soon as you play more than one game...

So what about a fixed schedule, like...
{Edit: I moved the schedule proposal down to the inital post in order to keep this thread readable for new people interested in taking part. All current info can be found at the bottom in the initial post.}

Works for me.

In case that we don't find a server and none of us can host one, is PBEM ok with everybody?

Sure. Gives you the flexibility to host when you want, too (if everyone turns in a turn on the weekend, for example).

I'd be in, not sure what nation yet.

I can maybe arrange to host your game for you on kludgemush.com, but I don't want to play.

My only condition is that I get to name your game something snarky.
