Oh, crap.

I had a massive ambush set up for you if you entered my territory. I'll let you know how it goes.

This is getting a little hectic trying to wake up so early in the morning just so I don't stale. Llamabeast, is it possible you could extend the hosting time like 4 or 5 hours so I don't have to get up at this ungodly hour?

Llamabeast is on vacation now, AFAIK.
What kind of hosting scheme do you have in mind, exactly?

Pretty much the same thing really, 24 hour hosting, possibly nixing quickhost. However, you see how the next turn is due at 11:00 GMT? Well that is literally 6:00 in the morning where I am. I was thinking he could extend that a few hours so I actually have time to wake up.

Well I kind of can't, unless I want to stay awake until 3:00 AM. This is still my dad's computer and when he's using it, he usually doesn't give it up. It would really help me a lot if we could at least nix quickhosting.

Well, any game with quickhost on will get it's hosting time drifting a little. I'd rather not switch quickhost off though. What i think we can do is extend the normal host interval from 24h to 36h or 48h - that should make it possible to make your turn everytime - and is more reasonable for game in 30+ turn anyway.

So, opinions everyone? Leave host interval at 24h, change to 36h or change to 48h?
