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

[Norfleet]

Is that so? This is not how I remember it. Perhaps they changed it in a patch. If you're volunteering to make this the game that guinea-pigs this theory, fine by me.

Guess we'll guinea pig things. I'll take Pangaea - we going on Karan then, with 6 players?

No, sorry. It started out as 48h, but it's intended to be at least 5 times a week hosting now.

I guess twice a week will take to much real time to complete the game...

Cainehill:... we going on Karan then, with 6 players?

That's fine with me! But I wouldnt mind someone else joining until the game is finally started... So once Norfleet has set up the game and opened a port, we should start after all six of us have uploaded their pretender If anyone else still wants to join, please post here!

About Quick-Host:
Actually I learnt that the behaviour is as I described from a very old thread on this board, before testing it myself...

The important thing is that the hosting time interval is set to 0, and only Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri are set to a certain time. Mixing a time interval with certain fixed days is what makes things truly messy!

Would you like be to open a port for sign-in now?

That would be very kind, although we didnt come up with a "snarky" name so far... How about something like "PulseOfGods" picking up the theme of a fixed schedule? No? Well, I guess "UTC12" would do for me pretty well...

Are all our settings clear? (see first post on this thread)

- I wouldnt mind if renaming is enabled to help management, but I respect people who want it disabled, as it can surely be abused.

- It would be probably sensible if there is a masterpassword set, but I would prefer if you, Norfleet, would keep that a secret to yourself only. Just in case of emergency.

You might want to do a head count, it's been a bit of a confusing start

We went from 2-5 days to 24 hr.

Sure, but I dont know how. I mean, there is the second post in this thread, which I edit to maintain it updated, and I hope that everyone took a look at. Currently it list:

Abysia:JJ_Colorado
Ulm:Mark the Merciful
C'tis:Kel
Caelum:Chazar
R'lyeh:Pickles
Pangaea:Cainehill


Or should we ask that everybody sends me/us a life-sign? Or should I simply use the email message mechanism of this forum to send everybody a message once the server is up and running?
