The problem with 24 is that it crawls at a horrible, snailish pace....especially since our resident Abysia refuses to take his turn. 12h host was about right: 2 turns a day: You take your turn before, and then after, you do whatever it is you do. Otherwise, the game sits there stalled, waiting for a player who will never show up. And because of you changing it *NOW*, we won't see another turn until tomorrow night! Even with 12h, everyone made it in on time except the missing Abysia. Now we'd sit there FOREVER.

That'd be nice if you could get Abysia botted....but it's passworded, and the master password is not enabled on the server. Can Mose even *DO* anything about that?

24 hour max quickhost is fine: But with an AWOL player, what we have is actually just plain 24h turns. That's awful. Ugh.

Dunno what happens if he removes the Abysya.h and other Abysya files from the directory of the server ... the game explode?

Absolutely nothing. Merely removing the files will not bot Abysia. Somebody would actually have to hunt him down and kill him.

That's why we should leave it on 12h, at least until Abysia bites it. Everyone was making their turns in time anyway, except Abysia: Making it go even MORE slowly will just mean we sit there staring at it. Unless you want to camp the server control and manually force the host somehow?

Cohen can just look at the game and when it's down to just Abysia, go into the webpage and set turns to 1 minute, and then reset it to 12h or 24h as soon as the turn is hosted.

Is there no "force host-once" option avaiable?

Seems like putting it on a one minute cycle is potentially dangerous.

(Phone rings, kid falls down etc.= wrecked game= bad idea)
