It is indeed down. When it comes back up if anyone hasn't submitted it will increase the timer by a few days.

This shouldn't be an issue though if everyone gets their turn in since it will auto host. Mail server still seems to be working since I got confirmation mails back that they were recieved.

Nope... I sent mine in twice in the last few hours, just to make sure, and haven't received a confirmation on either one of them.

So you're positive it won't auto-host without my turn? I'd hate it if my first decent stab at MP (I'm getting slain in my other game because of REALLY stupid newbie mistakes... hey all, let's make an Abyssian pretender with Death 3, it'll be awesome lol) ends with me staling through no fault of my own.

Ah, so there is a problem with the llama server. OK, in that case I will stop panicking :-)

Hrmmm, it seems the llama server is not my friend.

Anyone else end up with a stale?

I can imagine that may have happened with a few people who didn't get their turn in on time due to confusion or maybe the server not checking the mail first before hosting.

My turn (And my enemies too, unfortunately --; ) went through just fine it seems as I've recieved a proverbial *** kicking in that one turn.

I was hoping I could do my turn this morning, but it looks like the file won't be coming in before I leave. So... could I ask for a 24 hour extension on the next turn? Hopefully I won't need it...

Also, once it is clear that you have lost you have the potential to make yourself endlessly annoying if you set your mind to it.

Korwin did a pretty good job on me (Sauromantia rampaging through the wilds of Hinnom) in my first game.

Learning from that experience, I am having even more fun as Ashdod in an all nations, all eras game. Its amazing how nice it feels to torch your tormentors temples and then run away as they chase you.

So I know the game is all about winning, but to be honest you can have about the same level of fun even if you are getting boned. Then you can ascend to Dominions 3 heaven

safe in the knowledge that all of your enemies truly hate you

Just wanted to let everyone know that I can no longer keep the game at 24 hours... running a successful empire is a lot of work. I'm going to change it to 48 hours.

Sounds good. I am starting to struggle with running a fairly mediocre empire on a 24 hour time limit, so if you are actually successful I can see it would be even more time consuming :-D
