Thanks for playing through to the end Alpine.

Good point; it was quite a surprise to me the first time I received a posthumous gift from an eliminated nation. I thought it was a bug in the game.

Definitely; that's why I didn't put 72 hours as an eventual hosting time. Obviously if there are only a couple players left and they both agree to a longer hosting interval than 48 hours, no problem. But otherwise we are on 48 hour hosting until the end.
