Here it is Tuesday, and the turn didn't run? I'm with Folket. The server ought to be set to run on the specific days that it's supposed to run on.

Although, I will admit : it's bad enough when someone gets into a normal free-for-all game and starts missing turns and drops out, but it really sucks for a team-oriented game, since it directly impacts the team mates (as opposed to the indirect impact in free for all, where the people neighboring the now-comatose nations benefit and the others don't).

Seems like Curious cat is not playing. Let endoperez use masterpassword to let either me or himself play caelum until curious catr returns or we get a replacement.

Too bad the passwords hadn't been shared for all players on the same team. Or at least, each team gives to the organizer, that way the master password doesn't need to be given out.

Sorry. RL distractions. I'm still playing but cannot connect to the server.

Surprise surprise, the server was DOWN again. This time, it was the biggest storm of this autumn. No electricity...

It should be up again, as you can decipher from this post appearing on the forum the electiricy came back. Some poor workers must have had a long night.

Even with that, if nothing else happens I'm afraid I'm going to host the game soon, this evening or tomorrow morning.

Damn blackdowns! There was a few-second moment of no electricity this morning after that post, and the computers of course shut down. I restarted the server, and Dominions, but if more moments of darkness happened, or if the firewall prompts Dominions again ("Have you updated this application since the last time you used it?" and something), it mightn't work.

If the server doesn't work today, and I'm not even able to test it until I get home in maybe 6-7 hours, I can't really host. With the server down Saturday-to-Monday, and with no chance for CuriousCat to play his turn today, it would be rather heavy-handed.
