Marignon seems to have staled last turn and is heading towards that path again this turn. I sent the player a pm an hour or so ago, but in the meantime, there's only 3 hours until the turn hosts. If marignon's turn isn't in in a few hours I will add 8 hours to the turn if there's no objection.

If it's not in after that, should I look for a sub? Or for someone to set marignon ai.

Okay, marignon's turn is in. But I see pythium is also close to staling. I will go nudge pythium's player.

Is someone monitoring to see if any players are habitually staling? Is it perhaps time to move to a 36 or 48 hour schedule?

I'm keeping an eye on the staling offenders, and giving rdonj a friendly shout when needed. We had a full round of turn files last time as well, so those players with the early stales are still with us, for now at least.

The status page says that we will be switching to 48 hours on turn 15/16. Which is a shedule I'm hoping will be adhered to, since the slower pace was one of the main reasons I signed up.

I have been informed that one of the nations in this game has sent an NAP offer to another. This is strictly against the rules and tantamount to cheating in this sort of game. After conferring with wraithlord, it has been decided that the offending player will be removed from the game. I will set up a thread looking for a sub immediately and notify the player of their removal. Sorry about the holdup to the game. I will add 72 hours to the hosting time while I search for a new player. If none shows up that can be extended a day or two, or I will set the nation AI.

rdonj, thank you for putting so much attention to administrating this game.

The rules for this game are well clear. Any form of communication is off limit. Sending a NAP, with or w/o knowledge of the rules, defeats the very purpose of this game.
Please respect the house rules so that the game will continue to be enjoyable to all the players.

Good to see no leniency on the rules, and I fully support the kicking out of any players who try to get around the very point of what a RAND game is all about.
