Geo,

I thought the game was back on fully automatic turns. We're about 6 hours over the Last turn deadline. Did I misunderstand?

Hehe, thinking of my sanity makes me glad I turned it over to someone else. Seems the game is STILL crawling.

Hang in there, LC (hehe...your initials are what I use to name my light cruisers ).

So impatient... Geo disabled auto processing Last night, as the server was taken offline for a few hours for maintenance. The plan was to turn it back on by noon, though I forget the timezone he listed. There is another thread where he posted about this.

Regardless of the other thread, I was merely commenting on the slowness of the game (missing the deadline a significant number of turns so far) and how happy I am to have gotten out of it. That's all I was speaking about.

Well, only join small games in the future then. Games with nearly 20 people nearly always have some players miss each turn (not the same people every turn, different people). This is especially true when the turn duration is less than 48 hours.

Yes Fyron, Slynky has already decided that's what he's going to do.

Sorry about the turn. I intended to have it back on at noon and had to leave for a while today. It's back on now. The turn shuld be running momentarily.

If Geo could gently crush the "next turn" button, I think my happiness would soar up !

I appreciated the extra time for the Last turn. My computer is now back in its place and working much better. However, it was strange to miss the turn and have all of my construction queues empty. I won't let that happen again!

Having two ships propelled me into 1st place though...Greybeard

I'd like to give Rimfire just a bit more time. It's entirely possible that he has tried to get his turn in the Last two nights and been unable to because of the server problems. I will shoot him an email though.
