Ack another case of unable to upload turn in a dozen tries!!! If you get this in time please pause it and have gandalf reset again!

doh, the freezing thing? i'll have gandalf restart now, but it won't be as useful to you

one nasty after another, will it never end *sigh*

thanks for trying btw, that's some fast response admin!

On further reflection, it's taking me 2 days deliberation to fully finish my turn, and a 48 hr turn would be perfect under normal circumstances, but given this persistent issue I have to vote for 72 or even 96 hrs turns. But actually that doesn't solve the true problem:

And that rings up the root problem, if I connect to server before I finish my turn (to check for server problem) I can ring the alarm earlier but then I will have handed in an incomplete turn that could host the turn, but if I fully finish up my turn before checking I may be forced to stale by the server again due to not having enough time to pause. I think this root problem could be a deal breaker for me considering how often I've seen it this game (at least previously it was all reset in time during early game when turns are short).

It's late and I'll sleep on it... can't think of a solution nodding off.

yea lets go for 72 hrs or 96 if other people want that I don't mind it I myself am quite busy so making the turns longer is quite good for me

I'll have gandalf put the timer at 72 hours, that'll give you a lot more time in case of any more errors.

I need another reset, been trying on and off but just can't get my turns off server

iRFNA · #**667** July 12th, 2011, 01:48 PM

Well, I'm on the ball this time.. when there is no hurry

Huh. Well, the Ankh turned my pretender into a soulless. but let him keep his magic. I wasn't even aware that was possible with CBM.

The idea of killing a fountain of water then having it rise as a zombie amuses me to no end, although I didn't see your pretender die..

Fatigue killed him, I believe. So, the water fountain died of exhaustion, then became a zombie. <3 Dominions.
