MP: Mo-Fr 12.00hUTC fixed scheduled (running again

Ahh, that is the host that went off this morning, before I was aware we had a problem. I was a few minutes late checking the server, or I would have skipped the host.

I will continue hosting, assuming incidents like this every now and again don't both anyone too much...

Oh hell, does this mean the server's going to host again in 3 hours time? That means I'm going to stale (again - if what you're saying is that the restart effectively forced a stale already).

[Chazar]

I would also recommend to set out hosting whenever the server was unavailable for some time, because it could be just that time window a player had planned to submit his turn. So I would like to set out this hosting, since two players (Ulm & Marignon) are still missing!

(Or we might switch to QuickHost only to prevent such problems at all. I'd rather enjoy a good fight than my enemies staling...)

@Mark the Merciful: Didnt look like you were staling Last turn, since your forces attacked according to my reports. BUT it is indeed hosting within to hours and you have not submitted a turn! Can you reach Reverend Zombie to set out hosting?

[Chazar]

@Mark: I had submitted my turn before I read your post, i.e. I did not take advantage of knowing that you might stale. Nevertheless, a stale turn is certainly a huge disadvantage for you while being involved in battle with me, so I am willing to even out the score:

I could imagine of not moving all my armies concerned with our battle once within the next three or four turns. Would you consider that fair? Its not exactly like a stale, but you could prepare for that on the other hand as well. Any other suggestions?

[Reverend Zombie]

Ulm will not stale, we will skip the host today.

I think Marignon has missed a couple of recent turns lately, not all of which were caused by the recent server outage.

So...I am not sure quickhost is a good idea unless we can verify that Marignon is still with us.

Pretty good! Thanks Reverend Zombie!

I am unavailable over the weekend, so could someone else try to contact Marignon please?

Phew! Thanks very much Reverend. I was not looking forward to staling against Caelum!

Marignon is "undead dolphin hacker," I'll send them a PM.

With regards to the "Pangaea has had an unexplainable increase in wealth ths turn, probably caused by cheating" message, that apparently comes up now even when you _don't_ remove the Alchemist Stone from the mage doing alchemy.

And with a treasury that now contains 44 gold, I have a nagging suspicion that the game -stole- money from me, as I'd had something like 500 the turn before. Hard to be positive, what with the ... 3 day pause between turns. (Did Alchemy, sent the resultant gold to another player.)

[Chazar]

When exactly are we all updating to V2.13?
