Ehh, closer to two hours.
TorZon should be finished assimilating the woman, eating through each cold chamber, and absorbing any corpses it finds by 14:00.
I feel pretty bad about you guys having to wait so long. When I first started this, I honestly didn't expect that the timeframes of players' actions would vary so much. At least not this early.

I keep trying to think of some way to deal with the absurd waiting times between actions for some players, without sacrificing the level of detail that the game currently allows. As I'd really like to see Zan make it to Black Maple and The Moderator reach his base sometime before next year.

I'm fine with waiting, honestly, and GUNINANRUNIN hadn't been on in a while. So yeah, anything you decide is fine.

Your patience is much appreciated.

As for GUNINANRUNIN, I remember that last time he disappeared for a bit, it was due to internet issues. So I'm wondering if something similar happened again. Of course, he's at a spot now where it wouldn't be too hard for him to jump right back in whenever he ends up returning, so time advancing in his absence isn't much of a problem.

Maybe do a YaK style time malleability? I remember Karas ended the game before he heard the King died.

Also, a Nano-fiber best wouldn't take this long to make, IMO.

Can you elaborate? I admittedly haven't ever looked much into You are King. The only thing I really know about it is that it constantly tricks me into thinking that someone has made a forum game based around me.

Really? It hasn't even been an hour since The Moderator started working on it. Sewing/clothesmaking isn't exactly one of my areas of expertise, so I could very possibly be wrong, But I guessed that crafting a full-sized vest would take a little longer than that.

So in YaK, travel is instantaneous, but it is acted like x amount of time has passed. Or slower burn stories carry on while the main thing went forwards. So me and another PC were looking at a warehouse, while Ardas offed the king.

And I'd say around two hours making a nano-fiber vest, given its basically a shirt made of nanotubes.

The rate the dragon was flying would've taken till 1:00 to arrive, but I just sped things up.

Hope I don't scare the moderator making the vest too badly with my new action.

The problem with that comes from how turns are measured in this game; if someone embarked on a six hour trek across the land while everyone else was busy having a conversation or something, it would be a bit odd and unfair to have them suddenly lose six hours of the turn on an action that should've taken less than five minutes.

Since I can't get him out the same way I got in, due to the Blind Eternities, an area planeswalkers have to travel through, kills anyone a)without a planeswalker spark, b)who isn't an Eldrazi, or c)isn't powerful enough to exploit their own way in unassisted by technology (breaks in space-time don't count).

It's also important to note that most the others have a one day headstart on you two; the first day for the original five was pretty boring compared what they have going on now.
