48-72h, depending on what we'll set.
3.24(latest) - llamaserver won't accept turns from older patches, apparently.
Give the game a more-than-cursory look over, as it's rather complex, even by veteran's standards.


And somebody stop the hosting! This game is crumbling really fast...

Ack, I'm sorry everyone, I've been lax about checking this thread and my coadmin has started staling :(

Can I get another coadmin?

I put 48 hours more on the clock.

Look, I really don't know what's going on. I thought we were waiting for Wiles and slMagnavox, but the turns are kept being sent all the same. I find it hard to care about it at this point. Rolling back five turns would be out of the question anyway.
If you want to continue despite all the confusion, I suppose I could just set myself on AI.

Well, if you guys do decide to go back I'm willing to play, after playing for a bit the game definitely does seem like fun.  Unless I'm missing something, the major portion is centered around the combat and expansion, yes?  Or is there some type of city micromanagement I've looked over.

Oi! I've been rather distracted the past two weeks.  I got Robin's message via email and knew I was remiss, so I'd submitted my last two turns.  Checking in with llamaserver, Atlantis and Ryleh have been getting their turns in proper.  Land nations are even with 2 recent stales each except Wiles' TC who seems the furthest gone.  Hadn't really checked the forums except to read Toady's post in FotF.

If Keebooo is interested in subbing for T'ien Ch'i we could probably carry on in an appropriate fashion, a rollback at this point is not really feasible.  We'll def need a sub for TC unless Wiles resurrects or we set AI.  We'd need a good consensus from land nations because AI is generally not fun.

Il Palazzo, I actually feel bad about how well those spies have been performing.  I've never seen unrest that high, you've got a whole Pangean Tea Party movement in full force or something.  Note, flying units have a huge patrol bonus.

According to wiki, not so huge. After seeing how bad my centaurs were performing at patroling(and they should've been ideal for the task - high precision and APs), I just sort of gave up on catching your spies. Well, I'm sort of afraid of even looking at the turn after two stalls, but since you've had the same situation earlier... I suppose it's only fair.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. There is a lot of micromanagement, yes, but mostly when setting up your armies.

Added 72 hours to hosting interval and used llamaserver to send a mass email.  Go ahead and get your turns in either way, maybe Wiles will re-materialize after checking the email.  Otherwise, Keebooo prepare yourself cause we'll have you dive in as T'ien Ch'i.

Alright, I patched to 3.24.  Hopefully I'm able to get the llamaserver stuff to work.

Feel free to give me any tips to what's been tried, what fails, what's good, etc, or feel free to snuff me out.  But I will not go gently into that good night.

Tip 1.: Invade Ulm!!! (and save the Planet in the process)

Belac, slMagnavox, our dear admins, do change Tien Chi's controller's email address on the llama server, so that kebooo can receive his turn.
his address is kebooo(at) hotmail dot com, unless something's changed.

Hah, done and done. Time to do my turn too!  Kebooo if you need some extra time to get sorted out, don't sweat the deadline.  I'm gonna be keeping an eye on it since we're still waiting on turns and there has been a hiatus.

EDIT: Added 24 hours since hosting was just over 12 hours away!
