Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Phoenix, there are 7 human races and 6 or 7 AI races.

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Beedee,
I have finally discovered where your race lives and perhaps we can come to your rescue. We're sure to have some nice technology that you could use...for a small price  |

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Rollo, King of the Space Vikings, seems to have disappeared today. He was holding up all the games I was in, and finally I decided to execute the turns manually since I knew that by that time it was 2 AM where he lives, and he was unlikely to meet the upload deadline.

That is too bad, because I was just about to send my turns in  .
I think if we play 24hrs per turn, you should give 24 hrs to meet the deadline.

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Yes, I agree we should stick to the deadline.
Rollo and I sent some emails back and forth and it is straightened out.
From now on, I will use the "probation" system for games that I host. This means that if you are late with your turn I will simply wait for the deadline, and the AI will play for you for one turn. Then, on the next turn, if you are *again* the Last person to upload and some hours have passed, I will execute the turn manually. In the interest of moving things along for the rest of the players. If you miss your turn 3 or 4 times in a row and don't respond to my emails, I will "dead" your empire, i.e. turn it over to the AI.
Sounds fair to everybody ?

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Does late mean 24 hours have past since you Last turned in your turn, or X hours have passed since everyone but you turned in their turn?
I hope it's the first and not second because I tend to occasionally receive a nag while I'm playing my turn or just as I'm about to upload. Short of skipping sleep (big no no) I can't upload any earlier because I have to (and want to  ) eat breakfast at 6:00... |

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
24 hours means 24 hours since the Last turn ran.
