Demota is new and doesn't seem to have figured out how to connect to this game yet. Unless this is clear, I don't feel like forcing him to stale. I'm really glad for subs, BTW.

Okay, could someone explain the "timer" thing? Also, when it says I "missed a turn", it means that I can't do anything until the next round of turns, right?

Or can I still do something?

Edit: Okay, when I tried to connect again, it's letting me do something after all. I thought the status thing meant that it was skipping my turn so I wasn't allowed to do anything, since it didn't say Turn Pending.

Missed a turn is just to give you the info that the last time that the server hosted, there were no orders for that nation, so they essentially did nothing, or "staled". You need to upload your turn before the timer runs out so that you don't stale.

Indeed, I am fine with giving him time, now knowing that it was due to technical difficulties. Forgive my impatience, I play in too many games where there is no particularly good reason for people staling =)

I'm headed out of town Thursday morning and won't be able to get back to my computer until Monday night or Tuesday afternoon. Is there anyway I could get an extension over the weekend?
