looks like almost everyone has done their turns already too
Yeah - three left, hopefully they're still checking to see if the game is alive.

Well, if he stales on turn 1, maybe we can just consider it a well deserved handicap. Even if he's forgotten us on turn one, I'm sure he'll remember us before turn 2 comes due.

Boron came through and Turn 2 is up - with no stales. I think we are up and running for real now!

I'm real sorry to drag you guys down, but I can't play at work. It's about 9 am at work now where I am as I type this, and I'll only be able to play when I get off work, at about say 7 or 8 pm today.

With SEIV, I was able to download turns at work, get them back to my home computer, play the turns at lunch time, and then upload the turns when I come back after lunch. But Dominions requires the client to be actually connected to the server, so it's not possible to do this.

No worries. And honestly, I don't think it's going to make much difference in the long run. Although I've yet to take an MP game past turn 30, from what I've read in Posts, once you get into midgame, we won't be able to crank out the turns anyhow.

Which btw, I should've mentioned before, I expect at some point we'll want to raise it to 48hr QH, which I'll be happy to do when there's a consensus to make that change.
