BAG (Started!)

Uh, guys, it seems that you have the same problem the other games do. It looks like the LlamaServer stopped refreshing at 17:05 GMT... If where Llama is works by daylight savings, that's 5 minutes after he went to have his no-internets-week (excellent timing, ain't it?).

I don't think any amount of sending turns will help here... I just can't believe the server hasn't gone down or something. And the game I'm in (where I'm also one of the folks who hadn't sent his turn in before 17:05)... Is gonna be the FIRST one to hit the turn goin' time. So, keep checking out Mongoose to see what happens when the turn runs now.

Oh yeah, the server doesn't even send requested turns right now.

Drat. My 'change in hosting interval' didn't stick. Thanks for the heads up Sensori...

Yeah, I'm seriously going... Um... I'm damn nervous about this turn, what with all the weird stuff going on. If it runs without my turn going in... I'm going to be very very pissed off. If it doesn't... I'll be extremely relieved.

urrghhhh

On the plus side, LLamabeast does have backups- and judging from past problems, will all end up resuming play from the turn in which the freeze started.

He does? Whew, that's a relief. Nice to know! Still, got a nice adrenaline rush from the looking at minutes pass by... ;p And it's nice to know that it was a good thing (sort of) I started spilling my nervousness across the game threads, otherwise I wouldn't have found out that he keeps backups!

Now, if I could just stop being nervous, everything'd be peachy...

i see two stales from last turn, I think it is from before the troubles with the servers, but i'm not sure.

I see that both Atlantis and R'yleh are veteran players and one is Lazy_Perfectionist.

Lazy_Perfectionist, I understand you may be exhausted from work. But, and this is a big but, turn 6 for a water nation shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, 30 minutes to do carefully. It seems both you and Jazzepi are in other games where the timer can't be changed forward 5 days.

If people want to raise the timer to 48, or even 72 hours after say, Turn 12, Turn 15, whatever, I think that's fine.

But allowing, and doing, this kind of nonsense on Turn 6 needlessly prolongs the game. Turn 6 simply can't be that complicated.
