Armadillo - started

[Hadrian_II]

R'lyeh has fallen, the evil Lizards of C'tis crushed our last fighting army. As this message is written, all remaining starspawns are fleeing this land into the deap sea of the great ocean.

It was a good game, as long as it lasted, and the next time i will play rlyeh, i will make sure that i will be able to mind hunt.

And so the world is rid from an unspeakable menace from beyond, and the golden age under the wise and farseeing leadership of Sankriss, God of Invincible Power, He Who Is at the Center, Prince of Excellence, Bringer of Misfortune, God of Patience draws ever closer.

The surviving population of the sadly demised nation will be given the opportunity to give a positive meaning to their existence, and will be allowed to join the construction crews who will be erecting great Ziggurats in honor of The Divine One. Those who prove hardy enough to adapt to the live in our hot and humid swamps are surely greatly blessed, and will be allowed to serve the Priests of C'tis until the day of their death.

Heh? When did the hosting time change back to an earlier hour from 23.00 GMT? Here I was, playing my turn in no particular rush, and then manage to send it in 15 minutes after hosting, thinking I had 2 hours to spare

(yeah, yeah, I know, I could have paid attention to the mails delivering my turns, I know. I just hadn't expected the hour to change without announcement. Does this program actually following the quickhosting procedure? I was convinced it didn't do that, and only hosted at the appointed time. )


Luckily this wasn't the most crucial time to stale a turn, though it's allways annoying of course. But in any case I'd like to request a few hours extension on next turn (23.00 GMT again should do I guess), since I won't be able to play my turn in the early evening tomorrow.

It's a genuine quickhost. I guess maybe that hasn't been noticeable because a couple of nations have been staling for most of the game. Sorry it caused you to stale.

[Amhazair]

Ah, well... it happens.

Besides, I should give my poor fellow players some chance, right?

[Meglobob]

Should we perhaps move the game to permanent 48hr quickhost? Its near turn 50 now, hard to do your turn every 24hrs without fail.

We have done great so far, fastest game ever, no need to spoil it with stales in the end game.

[Amhazair]

You're right, it has gone fast. Might have something to do with the crowded map, maybe? Or not. Anyhows, I won't object to 48h, though until now I haven't had troubles with the pace, so for now either way is fine with me.

Also: G'night, mateys! My hammock is calling me.

[Valerius]

Ok, turn 47 hosting has been delayed four hours to 23:55 GMT Wednesday.

It seems reasonable to go to 48 hour quickhost. If no one objects I'll make the change for turn 48.
