Game restarted on 2263.
It's time to rejoin.

Hmmm. What's the process now to upload an updated Pretender on mosehansen before the game starts? Do I need Cohen to delete my pretender (Ermor) before I can replace it?

You must not have noticed that Cohen originally made the game with a 12 hour hosting. 2 turns a day, at least.

It's one of his many screwed up little habits, but I figured people knew what they were getting into - after all, it did say 12 hour (720 minute) hosting on the game info screen on mosehansen.

Start yelling and protesting if you think it's too fast - I personally think it is, and it causes way too many people to miss turns.

Even better would be if Ebsen would change his server to not allow less than 24 hour settings for the games.

Actually having turned into a junkie I didn't notice the host time as being 12 hrs. A fast paced game is nice, but also the fact that I can not leave my house for more then 12 hrs at a time is a bit confining.

I'll switch to 24h qh.
Fine?

I dislike this argument on principle. This is like saying McDonalds should not sell coffee because people could burn themselves from pouring it into their laps.

I won't. I could even imagine fun games with 10-minutes quick-hostings.

Just don't participate in games with settings you ain't confortable with. I've realized that I'm not going less than 48 hours myself. Sometimes I'm away > 24hours.

Well, the dumbest game settings I've seen was a game that had been abandoned and left running on 5 minute quickhost.

It was on turn several-thousand and nobody had played the thing since turn one.

Okay - let me be more specific, since I actually agree with you and Ebsen. (Albeit 10 minute turns probably wouldn't need a dedicated long term host like mosehansen

)

"If the server wouldn't allow Cohen to create games less than 24 hours", since he does it by default for no good reason. Better?
