Good to know.  The game is progressing nicely, with no stales or hick-ups, so having the tools to admin the game should minimise any potential drama.

So I gather a turn extension was added?  I see 30 hours have elapsed and it looks like there are still 30 hours on the clock?

parone

yes, i added it(too late) and it seems it was lucky...

many games, by the way, use turn 20 as a time to increase turn interval.

if folks would like to weigh in on increasing it or leaving it the same, now is the time!

I would not mind maybe a 12 hour extension. But that is mainly because at this time the turn in time is like mid day for me. But it will be like that for sombody so what ever other people would like.  I can work with.

I dont mind an extension. While I much prefer faster turns, the way this game is going we should still churn through the turns before the time is up, so it shouldn't delay most rounds for long, and it gives more time for those that need it.

Bronwell

My vote would be to leave it short with generous extensions whenever requested.  Turns are still pretty simple and likely will be for another year. 

One thing that also might give peace of mind would be if there were any additional players with the admin privilege to add time to prevent staling, hopefully someone living in a different time zone than Parone.

My only other game is on turn 47 and just increased turn time from 28 hours about 2 turns ago.

Haerdalas

Well, that turn went well. 4 magic sites from two searches, a random event giving me gems, and finding a very useful indy mage magic site.

PS: why is the spell check saying mage isn't a word? Seriously, it has only been in use for decades, and its not like this forum is occasionally about games or anything...

everybody else get there's?  should have received one around 6 EST

LOL.  i didn't know my view on shared victory was quote worthy.

W8taminute

^LOL. 

Yeah I thought that statement you made was perfect and had to be quoted.  I'm not sure what your tone was when you made the statement because a written statement cannot convey emotion through the sound of one's voice tones.  When I read what you had written about shared victories I pictured you killing the shared victory nations while at the same time calmly explaining to them that what they are doing is a no no.  Like a parent scolding a child.  That sort of thing.   :)

hmm.  I again am struggling to get llama to send me my turn.  the only way I can get it is to reset the password for Bandar and then ask for a resend(merely asking for a turn resend ain't gettin' it done)

anyone else struggling with this?  it'd be very easy to think it had not hosted yet, and end up with a stale :-\

Just a heads-up - a couple of y'all have been sending me some private messages about this game.  You're probably aiming for someone else to receive them, since I'm not in the game, so double-check your outbound traffic.  It's not that I'm bothered by receiving them.  I just want to make sure you don't think your intended recipients are blowing you off when they never got the messages.
