I can postpone hosting by x hours, to time the hosting on midnight for Europe, but then it would be at middle of the day for Americans. And theoretically, the time of hosting should not matter unless the time you are able to spend on your computer is exactly the same time the game will be hosted.

Anyways, the game hosting interwall is now 30 hours. Now, everyone should be able to post their turns.

Did a turn get skipped? I had submitted my turn 6 on Monday and, this morning, I had a message saying that the turn is due... I checked on llamaserver and now we are on turn 8...

I never received turn 7 at any point.

My particular problem was this: I tend to play my turns during the day, when I don't have net access. So I download in the morning, play the turn in breaks during the day, and mail it in during the evening, in between family commitments. A host time of 1420 GMT played havok with this.

More generally, on 24h quickhost the submission deadlines will creep forward with every turn generated until they're causing someone inconvenience.

[edit] I think llamabeast keeps archives of previous turns. If there's been an issue with turns not being sent out he might be able to roll back.

At least I have received turn 7. Most of the others had posted it too; I'm not sure where the problem is.

It seems rather odd that we'd have 3 stales over one turn, especially now we're out of the holiday period.

Huh, was I one of them? I'm not sure which one I missed, but I don't want this to get too silly so I'll just keep quiet and play whatever turns come my way.

Ssh Zeldor. I've done the rollback, it can't be undone, nor can it be rolled back further. I wouldn't normally roll back just because someone forgot, but I think holiday chaos is a good excuse.

Anyway, only 2 people staled turn 6

I hope that I get a really good event at least

MD, you aren't the only one.

I had same issue - could have sworn I have turned in all turns I received very quickly but somehow staled last turn - appears I missed turn 7 in my inbox.

Will be more careful going forward as I got the 6 hour warning at midnight while sleeping then woke up to find I'd staled.

Niarg · #10 January 2nd, 2008, 03:07 PM

I'm happy to redo the turn.

Are we going to vote on what to do or will Falcon sort it out?
