It's pretty early for long turns - we can't use them and they'll considerably draw out the game. I think players should just ask for extensions.

[mattyburn7]

He did Stale. but that's the first stale for anyone so I agree I don't think we want to extend time limit. If anyone needs extensions though I'm generally pretty active on here and will grant if needed.

[Flop]

Ideally, I'd rather not extend the turn time limit either, but I've noticed that Mictlan has been cutting it kind of close for a while now. It could be that he's just getting creamed by Helheim, and doesn't feel like playing anymore, but it could also be that he just has trouble making it.

[curtadams]

Well, that explains why I had such a good turn. He's been a tough opponent - I assumed he had been spending a lot of time thinking about his turns.

Something odd happened during turn 20 for me: I sent in my turn, and got a normal receipt, but for some reason none of my actions took place. It was as if I had staled.

I've actually been writing a fairly detailed after-action report after each of my moves with screen-shots, so I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything bone-headed. Has this even happened to anyone?

[HoleyDooley]

All good here from what I can see. But yeah, that sucks!

[mattyburn7]

Yea. My turned looked good also. Server doesn't show that you staled at all. That's kind of bizarre. Anyone know what our options are if this happens again? I think turn rollbacks are possible, but that seems kind of ugly.

Also we got a 2nd stale from Mictlan.

[curtadams]

Rollback and new orders is a no-go IMO. Is it possible to rollback and roll forward with the sent orders? That seems the way to go. In this case, since Mictlan, who Ermor is fighting, staled, he should probably have to give an OK for any kind of rollback.

[Flop]

I think we should investigate further before doing a rollback. I've heard that it can seriously mess up games, and that we won't necessarily be able to tell until much later in the game. I can't say I really know much about it, though, so maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

[Szumo]

I've had what you describe happen a few time to me, and every time the reason was a mistake on my part - sending turn without clicking "End turn" and exiting, or entering game and clicking "Redo turn from the start" by mistake.
