The turn submitting problem is due to the llamaserver currently moving home.

More details here.

This might be a hasty question, but could this cause any problems in this particular game?

ie - the game processing before our turns are registrered when the server goes online again (and the turn is processed due to the hosting interval).

Well as far as I know, on every occasion that the llamaserver has gone off-line in the past, llamabeast's standard procedure has been to delay all games by 24 or 48 hours. So I'd be very surprised if this didn't happen again here.

But don't worry, in my experience llamabeast is always on the case in this regards, and I'm confident he will not let any games host without the players having had plenty of chance to get their turns in (ie. When he turns the llamaserver back on, he won't just let a bunch of games host that have a load of missing turns to them)

I will keep an eye out and delay on my own if the server comes back up and people haven't put their turns in.

Did anyone stale that last turn? It looked very close for Pythium and Utgard.

I (Utgard) did, yes. It seemed there was a misunderstanding with regards to the postponing of the hosting. Very bad timing.

Edit: If a rollback is doable (I have little experience, except a small 2-player game once), it would make a big difference for my chances of survival, simply put.

Pythium staled, as did Utgard (you can look at this on the llamaserver).

Utgard staling was my fault. He had asked me for an additional 4 hour delay, which i thought i had inputted, but apparently did not. I've already apologized to him, it was a crappy mistake =(

SOrry about the stale, but with my commanders scripted and awaiting the final battle I don't find myself doing much with my turns.....now if Gath or Ulm would just finish me off!

Are you going to offer a rollback for Utgard?
