MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill

For the upcoming U.S, holiday long weekend, I will set the game to extend intervals between hosts until Monday.

This will require me to stop the game after one of our turns executes: either Thursday evening or Friday morning U.S. Eastern time. I will extend the timer to "host every 5 days" at that point.

What do you think: do you want your Last turn for the long weekend to host Thursday night, or Friday morning?

Hmmm... I thought long weekends were made to play Dominions.

Does not matter to me I only have plans for two days of sailing (On Lake Ontario -are you anywhere near Lake Ontario Hamlin Beach - Rev?) and drinking Capt. Morgans

I always get a little miffed when people make special provision for US holidays. I mean, the game contains at least one European and at least one Australian. Would you like to know when our holidays are?

If that's the choice, then Friday morning.

But Zapmeister has a point.

Edit: At least two Europeans.

Yes! I say we celebrate all Holidays! The I could spend less time at work and more time playing Dominions and sailing and drinking!

Do you mean there are other Holidays other than US??? (read sarcasm) It is interesting how we in the US spread (force) our culture on others. I heard the other day on the news that some young adult Chinese and Japanese celebrate Thanksgiving. We are like the Borg! You will be assimilated! hehe

Only if you want me to pause the game for them.

I will be out of town. I don't have any candidates to sub for me, and I don't think anyone wants me going AI. And I don't want to stale.

Why would you be miffed that the game is delayed by U.S. or any sort of Holiday. I'm sure the host is more than willing to adjust to whatever national holiday that you have where you are leaving or unable to take your turns. Unless it is one of those hardcore games where there is no change to the hosting schedule based on circumstances, regardless of nationality or time.
