Looks like quickhost has been turned off, and that we are now on 48h fixed host. Is this on purpose?

I think he's about to die in the game, that might have something to do with it.

It's a problem when the human host loses motivation in the game. When I host a game, I plan to have victory conditions that lead to a nice quick end when the end comes.

Maybe two teams of two nations each or maybe pentagram style...

This game should have fairly decisive win conditions because of the victory points. Only 9 victory points are required to win, so Mictlan should be close to winning, right?

Actually Mictlan has 3 victory points. Check the graphs.

And let's not jump to conclusions 'bout reasons for this little pause, eh?

There's a victory points graph?

I didn't mean to assume that Graeme was de-motivated and that's why he hasn't noticed the quickhost setting, or whatever. I was just pontificating on the problem in general. I've been thinking about it, since I'm probably going to host a game soon, and I'm probably going to lose. ;-)

i'm guessing he set it to non-QH because of remembrance day - he likely has a long weekend. I haven't gotten any response from him, but that seems like a good bet.

edit: close to winning? lol
