Have machine up and running with Linux/new hard drive and my own ISP/router at home. Have some work to catch up on (some e-mails to deal with) but will get turn in pronto.
The new patch sounds like it is going to do some terribly dire things to my Tartarians .... so much for that cheap way to get some magical diversification going.
Sorry everyone - I should be back up and running real soon.
I have had to delay hosting for 12 hours - just broke my router. Firmware update has messed up my router (I think) - e-mail not being sent of recieved.
I have been handed the keys to the game (admin wise). I have already made unannounced hosting delays, which I will admit was poor form and will not be repeated. It appears I had delayed hosting the last turn long enough for me to get my turn in but allowed Lanka to stale. I also fear that I have done exactly the same thing to Neifelheim a couple of turns ago.
I would like to say that in neither case was it intentional - I based the hosting delays on the 6 hour warning e-mails but it still sucks.
I am not able to get the turn in time this evening and am going to allow myself to stale - and am happy to be replaced as game admin.
Apologies for the stale - I sent in my turn a few times but the llamaserver wouldn't acknowledge it. I was running late so had to stop trying, hoping that one of my emails would get through after all. Guess not.
