Pretty sure you check yourself as the other game Im playing on this server is the same way---got the notification the game was beginning but after that you gotta check--i have a post it up with deadlines on it for my games.....usually helps

-What's best in life?
-Getting attacked by heavily blessed Niefelheim on turn five of course!
It remains to be seen whether or not I can beat back those frostbeards. If not, I might be in for a short game.

As a side note this is my third game in a row where I'm starting right next to a rush nation. It's good practise on how to fight them but man this is getting comical.

It seems weird that people are upset that they are staling..... I mean, I understand, just that I thought it was on quickhost, cause it seems like the turns are going by FAST, faster than 24h, that's for sure.

For those of you who are wondering, there is no automated function for email notification in Dom3. Llamaserver is designed to have full notices and confirmations, but is very heavily designed. Server games you can't expect any of that, someone would have to design a buddy program that would see what Dom was doing, and then interact with a mail client, it would be very complicated I think, probably more complicated than the way that Llama handles it.

The best suggestion I can give you, is just make a time that you check the games that you are playing. If they aren't hosting faster than 24h, you'll always have a turn up during your play time, guaranteed.

I don't have a problem with lack of email notification.

The problem is when I believe I'll get email notification, I'll stale if I don't. The first time I asked about not receiving an email I got a response that implied there were email notifications, just not that time. I did not get a clear answer telling me there weren't any.

Partially relevant: I don't know if this is know to everyone but creating a new desktop icon for Dom3 and adding " -C --ipadr 74.236.0.134 --port 1026" to the command line causes the game to start directly into this game we have going on here. It's really handy thing to do with every network game as it saves the trouble of always typing the server ip/address and port number and checking the game status is literally only a doubleclick away.

That is a good tip Zenzei!

Luckily the 2 server games I am in, are both on the same machine, so it's just a matter of changing the port back and forth.

Maybe we can figure out the hosting clock issues and email notification before we restart this game.
