Well that's kind of a b@#%$ because one of the games I'm in (STFF) has a spot open and a player that seems to have quit without surrendering and, on top of that, the game owner is having difficulties and may not know to manually process the turn.

I bet you the problem is squirrels.
So the problem didn't end up being squirrels!
I think some people owe the squirrel community an apology, don't you?

Mind you, Australia doesn't have squirrels, we have possums, which are about twice as big as squirrels

Thanks for the Great effort you PBW Guys put in.

Heh, no offense to your game owner, but it's so easy a squirrel could do it. All he needs to do is go to the Game Admin screen and hit the grey button in the middle of the page that says "Execute the next turn!"

Forgive me, I wasn't saying that he doesn't know HOW to, only that he may not know that he NEEDS to because of the problems he is experiencing getting Online or whatever.

Yeah, I misread that. I am the one that should appologize. As to the game iteself, I looked at it and you have several players that havn'et uploaded the current turn, so I feel a little uncomfortable forcing the turn. However, I plan to turn the autoprocessing back on tomorrow evening barring any further complications. I just want to make sure everyone knows it's back up and all and has a chance to get their turns in. So if nothing happens before then from the game owner then you should get a new turn then.

Yeh, I wonder if we are not giving squirrels a bad rap.

Yes and kudos to you PBW guys.
