Can I please request a 24hr extension for turn 4 (ie. the next turn) as I'm likely to be out for most of Sunday.

TIA.

Taken care of. Of course the game will host anyway if/when everyone gets their turn in. This will start the timer over.

Just checked the llamaserver site, and the turn timer says 'Turn 3 due 07:10 Monday 30th' which is great for me in theory, but what happens if the current 'turn 3' outstanding turns get submitted right now for example (currently Saturday 28th 21:00 GMT) then what happens? Will :-

a) the 'turn 4' timer gets set to 'Turn 4 due 21:00 Sunday 29th'. or

b) the 'turn 4' timer gets set to 'Turn 4 due 21:00 Monday 30th'

As if a) happens, I'm going to miss that deadline, as it's 'turn 4' I'll need an extension for and not 'turn 3'. And since I've already submitted my 'turn 3' now, I've lost 'control' (sort-of-speak) of being able to influence when the game hosts.

Sorry about any problems I'm causing, just want to be sure I don't stall this early on.

If the turn processed now, then yes, the 24 hours would start over again from right now. I will watch that and re-delay if a turn runs soon.

I had the same issue myself last year. I needed a delay and was expecting a turn to run soon. I knew that getting a delay right away would be pointless so I asked the admin to do it after the current turn ran. I've anticipated the possibility and should be able take care of it barring an emergency of some sort.

Many thanks for keeping an eye on the turn timer for me Ubercat. Two big thumbs up for doing that :-)

Hopefully I won't actually need the delay to be more than a few hours, as I should be able to get my turn in by Monday 10am GMT at the latest.
