I'm going to patch all the games I'm running this evening. We can host another turn under the current patch or not, whatever is fine.

Evidently there are some issues with patched players on non-patched servers or somesuch.

So - I've turned QH off, when everyone has sent their turns in I will host manually, then shut the server off and patch. I can't do that until all 3 of my games that I'm hosting are ready, though.

Okay, some people have already patched. I have some work to do and then I'll patch and bring the servers back up. Hopefully the turns taken under the previous patch will still work.

It's kind of a drag to have all the hall of fame slots blocked up by indies w/ huge exp - I presume that's a result of the tough VP locations?

If it takes past turn 20 for players to make it into the hall of fame (and I'm guessing it will take well past that), it might be good to look for other ways of making those indies hard to beat.

Yeah, sorry about that, I'd actually meant to lower those XP numbers but then I forgot to incorporate the changes into the map . The XP don't really make a difference anyway, the indies magic greatly outweighs their combat stats.

Okay, Wszabopeter seems to like to play around 6AM (EST), and Rev Zombie around 8PM (EST), which is fine in the long run but not exactly conducive to a blitz tomorrow.

Unless otherwise noted, lets try a blitz at noon EST (that would be 9AM in California?). I have no idea what time that would be wherever Rev Zombie and Wszabo are - if anyone knows they can't make it, post as soon as you know.

Otherwise, watch this space.
