Thufir, where are you?

Looks like you went stale Last night, and may do so again tonight. Does anyone know where he's gone?

Also, does anyone want to switch this game to 48 hour QH? As the game gets farther along, it's getting harder to find the time to dedicate to completing a turn.
Actually, I did not stale Last night (although it was close), nor tonight.
Good, that's a relief. I would hate for the mighty Pythium empire to suffer a stale burp.

I'm fine with the majority rule on setting to 48 hour QH, but count me as a vote for YES.

Although I'm happy with the 24h QH, I would rather have a 48h QH if that means people won't go stale.

I vote for 48h Quickhost.

Esben just clarified the situation with the server, we don't change to the new Version the server is on until the game is restarted. Unless someone objects very soon, I'll restart the game. As I understand it, this is supposed to keep any submitted turns as still submitted (and you should be fine no matter whether you used 2.12 or 2.14), but I think there is some chance we'll need to resubmit turns.

I don't care either way, if someone would prefer 48H, then fine with me

As always, the graphs tell it all in Dom2. I think we can call this one, "Bend over Pythians, time to get spanked":

Yeah, that's a scary picture. I think it's safe to say that Abyssia has made a comeback.

Any news on changing the timelimit for the quickhost? I'll probably go stale once this weekend on 24 hour QH.

Well, it wasn't much of a vote, so I think i'll just make an executive decision, and set it to 48h qh on Sat morning. If there's an objection, we can hash it out on Monday.

Thanks Thufir! I really appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the C'tis will help you out
