DOOM

[Phobos]

I have to travel mid-week and will probably not be home before the weekend.  I will be able to get turn 56 in without an extension (next turn), but I may require an extra day for turn 57 (the following turn).

Any chance we can push the turn-timer back to 48 hours? I am curious about how everyone else feels on the turn-timer, as I mentioned it before, and the only responses I saw seemed to be willing to change it back to 48 hours.

I have no problems with continuing to grant extensions whenever requested.

It just seems like most are waiting until a few hours before the deadline, whenever that is, to post turns.  Moving up the timer might speed things up in general, keeping interest, while allowing generous extensions whenever needed, like for Phobos or WingedFlamez.

The problem I see with a long timer is that many people (myself included) see a long timer and say to themselves, "Well that's not for a long time, I'll worry about it later, as there is no point doing it now, since turns won't post anyway."  They then put it off, often forget about it, then have to rush to try to get it done before the "far-off" deadline.  I confess I am surprised we ever ended up with a timer this long, especially so early.  My only other MP went quite a bit longer and never had a timer this long.

It looks like Llamaserver went down yesterday.  All the games are showing no update for the past 17 hours.  With 2 hours until turn hosting, it is still just showing my turn as the only one received.

Does anyone have a way to contact Llama and get the server back up?

[Phobos]

It may have something to do with the Dom4 release today.  My turn is in. 

I'll need an extension for the coming turn (57)

[parone]

delayed 24 just to be safe

[Wingedflamez]

phew.

I checked it just now, got my timing wrong thought I had another hour.

[parone]

don't worry too much, cus llama isn't accepting turns at the moment.

you can send It in, but I don't think you'll get a confirmation.

[Wingedflamez]

Sorry Im bad at this.

I sent my turn in last night, I had ment to check it to see if it had updated and was going to put in an extension. and was late checking it

[parone]

phobos, how many hours do u need?

[alastair]

Speaking for myself, i much prefer the lower pressure with a longer timeframe.  Once every 3 or so days is much more comfortable for me than every 48 hrs, especially as I've been making a lot of 2 or so day trips recently.

[parone]

im gonna bump it 24 right now.

[Bronwell]

I'm curious..why did you bump it from over 48 hours left to 72?

[Wingedflamez]

Phobos asked for an extension due to travelling.

[Bronwell]

Deleted-

-Just saw that Phobos asked for time again on the 9th.  Missed it in his message saying he turned in his turn

[Bronwell]

I saw that all the games (including ours) say Turn 0 now, after llama's extensive changes to the server for Dominions 4. 

I hope that doesn't cause any problems when turns host.
