Griefor - The turn has not hosted as noted a couple of posts ago as I was giving people an opportunity to work out connection issues.

Xan - I never received a pretender from you - as stated everyday in the orginal post.

As stated I am going to force the turn at midnight. I Personally would be happy to restart for Xan. However, I will leave it up to the majority of the players.

Chris

So what is the schedule for the next turn? Is it 24 hours every turn for a while, run at midnight EST?

Regarding the restart: I would rather continue the game as is because I got a funky starting location.
However, I won't object the restart either if there's support fot it.

I'm okay with a restart, if you did receive a pretender for Xanatos by now.

I don't think I want to wait another couple of days for the pretender to be sent on a game that's supposed to have a 24h timer.

I'm at work at the moment... so if you staled, so did I Grief.

I'm not really sure whats going on with Dominions. - I am hosting 2 games on the same machine. Adequate resources, but the second game the clock wierds out.. sometimes Aug 17, sometimes 7 hours.

But I have said it will host midnights EST, and the game automatically backs up, so if you staled for server error, I will reload.

I just waited way too long before I looked at the server again, so I would not be surprised if I timed out legitimately. The problem is that I *thought* this would be a game with emails being sent to me every time I was to play a turn and I have not received any such email until now.

The first time I asked about this you told me we were working out connection issues, now you tell me the clock is weirding out.

But my question is:
Does this game send out email notifications when I need to play my turn?

I would like either of these answers to my question:
1) Yes, this game sends out email notifications.
2) No, there are no emails and you are expected to check the server daily yourself.
