[Gandalf Parker]

Actually, I changed the timer to the requested setting then restarted the game.
That didnt match the exact time that was requested so Septimius said he wanted the game to host at the time it should have regardless of the counter. Unless "or else convey the request to Gandalf before the next turn hosts" which never happened.

Various people saw times on the counter from days to hours to minutes while trying to comply. And then I see lots of discussion on it here. But now the game has crashed from signal overload so woulda, coulda, shoulda is rather moot.
We await the game master.
