I've not been able to get ahold of Mictlan/Dedas or the master password, unfortunately.

I'm considering turning off quickhosting and switching to a 48 hour schedule. For now, I'm just throwing the idea out there.

Well... the point wouldn't be to delay the game more... but we're into turn 17 now. I figure soon someone will need more time to complete their turns than one day. However, I'm just thinking about it. I don't plan on extending the timer until people ask for it. It's mentioned in the same post, but really unrelated to the whole Mictlan thing.

But since I can't remove Mictlan, and now can't postpone hosting by a negative number (force it to host sooner) the quickhost part is completely moot.

Putting aside Mictlan, eventually turns will take enough time that we need to extend the cycle. In that case, I'm just trying to plan (not act) ahead of time, and figure out precisely what I'll do. Normally, I'd switch to a 50 hour quickhost, but... if we can't get rid of Mictlan, then we're not quickhosting. In the future, does 48 hour hosting sound right? Not now, of course, but then... or do I stick to 30 hours as long as possible?

I used to have a workaround, but now you'll have to ask Llamabeast.

I wonder if the devs can pull a password out of a game file- and whether they have the spare time, what with two almost certainly overworked people running the whole show. I kind of doubt it.

EDIT: Yay! The system accepts negative integers again. I can force a quick host- if I'm conscious.

thats great, we can use that i guess. Then I certainly won't oppose to increased turn timer... (But I don't need it yet)

LP, I never changed anything to do with negative integers. That's a feature!
