96h QH? Let's just set it to pure Quickhost until you've all recovered from New Year's.
(If you don't mind the suggestion. I'll be on a LAN-party from 27.12. to 30.12. so I won't be able to slow it down or pause it, better be on the safe side and just let it host whenever the turns are in until 2005.)
I was trying to check in around 8PM eastern time and a transient connection problem I've been having got worse. From what it sounds like, I'm in no danger of missing a turn. But, reverend, if there were any server problems around 8pm, please drop a line on the Bugs thread. That would confirm my guess, that the timeout isn't working.
