so unless the game is already on turn 2, then it SHOULD be approximately....7 hours remaining.


The game is on turn 2 at this moment.

It is? Well in that case, Chazar's suggestion seems to be wrong....because I don't have an interval set, merely host at X day and time.

This would seem to suggest that quickhost and scheduled times don't mix. Which is as I said. Quickhost and scheduled hosting bad, 'mkay?

Pickles comitted his turn now, which caused a quick hosting. The timer went up from 3hrs to 27hrs as it should, hence skipping the fixed hosting scheduled today at 12:00h. So everything seems to work well as assumed!



@NORFLEET: I am not sure what happens if the server is restarted, however. So if you ever have to restart the server then please disable the timer, just to be sure. I guess things are fine as long as the server is not touched anymore, although I will keep an eye open on that issue. If you think that the server has to be restarted more than once in a while, then disable quick-hosting for the remaining game, please. The benefits of QH is not worth the trouble: Its nice to have, but by no means necessary. Thank you!

OW! Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW!

Plague on turn three kills half the population in my home province. Misfortune is its own reward, but that's a really unpleasant way to start a game.

OW!

Yeah, pretty bad luck. Thats why I always take some fortune: Not because its worthwhile gamewise, but because it keeps my pretenders morale up...


Anyway, you're not alone having a bad time: I should've played a Solo against Independent 6 to learn what that means before...

...but isnt it a bad idea to whine about an ongoing game, especially with statistics turned off? "Ally with the stronger, prey upon the weak"?

Oh, by the way, I wont be able to do some extra turns this weekend, although it seems going to be pretty rainy around here...
