Just to ask the question, so I don't screw up, after I took my first turn, the list of nations are displayed. Can I break the game if I select play a turn before everyone has done so?

No, you cannot screw it up in this fashion. In fact, you must play your turn (and everyone else must as well) before quickhost can execute and host the turn early. This is the only way we can "blitz" through these early turns.

Another bonehead question. There is a symbol (kind of like a broken chain link) below mine and Yomi's flags. What does this mean.

That means that both you and the Yomi player (Rev Zombie) are actively connected to the server, at that moment.

I noticed that as well, I don't know exactly what is going on but it appears that Rev Zombie is going for the world record at taking the longest time ever to enter his first turn orders.

I took a little longer to get home than I had anticipated.

I see only a few people connected - lets see if we can all get back together in 20 minutes (that's 9PM EST).

I'll be offline for the next 45min - 1hr. Haven't seen Abysia or Mictlan yet this evening...

Abyssia checked in - we can try again in an hour, see if WsZabopeter shows up.
