Can you still change the turn timer? I noticed every day we lose 3-4 hours, because the timer slows down for some reason.

If you changed the timer to 15 hours instead, it would actually take around 18 hours for turns.

The turntimer is set to 18 hours because it takes about 24 hours for 1 turn then. 24 hours is the time most Pitboss games set for 1 turn.

The timer also can be moved forward if every player plays before the end of the time limit.

While we're discussing the idiosyncrasies of the game clock, I have question:

What causes the turn timer to go negative in Civ Stats? My understanding is PitBoss doesn’t actually run the clock when someone is taking a turn, hence the 3 – 6 hours extra.

My original thought was someone must be logged in, preventing the turn from ending. However, I’ve seen it go negative when everyone was offline so I don’t think that’s the reason.

Then I thought it must be how Civ Stats synchs up with the 3-6 additional hours PitBoss has added to the turn. However, I’ve noticed the New Turn time changes over the course of the turn, so I’m not sure this is the correct interpretation either.

I would be interested to hear alternative explanations.

civstats only go negative if you don't refresh. The timer displayed is synched up to the game time when you load the page. However from there it is idependent so every time someone log in or something there is a slight delay in the real time. If you have the page loaded after a turnchange have happened ingame without refreshing it'll show negative time.

Viper_ex from Rome - Julius isnt finishing turns for days. He still here or gone? his last turns was 25 september.

 

[bbfrancis]

Viper where are?
Come out where ever you are!

 

[failedreality]

I just sent Viper a PM and just kicked to AI, and gave him a 2 day warning before finding a replacement..

 

[classical_hero]

Why does it take so long for the turn to tick over? Is ther anythng that you can do to speed it up since it takes way to loong to do.

 

[failedreality]

Guys, Girls, ALL..
I have no idea why the turn flip takes so long. My only guess is that I have an old POS pc. Unless everyone donates to the FR New PC Fund, I really dont think the speed will increase.

I'm sorry it's soo slow.

And since I'm having a horrible work week, I will say, if it sucks too much, then dont play anymore.. hehe

Also we need a replacement player..!!!

 

[Mauer]

I think we need a new host. Ours kind of sucks

[classical_hero]

The game and civstats are out.

 

[failedreality]

Working on it

 

[failedreality]

Up with 5 hours left on the turn

 

[Mauer]

Not sure if the game is down, but I think the uploader is. I'd try to login, but I don't want my adversary to think I'm DMing.

 

[Sonnybonds]

Well this game is over for me.
2 versus 1 so i dont have any hope for my civilization.

To bad i couldnt hook up with copper earlier for strong units but thats all in the game.

 

[Mauer]

Ahem, 2 vs 2 Sonny. I already know.

 

[Sonnybonds]

well its actualy 1 v 3 now because BBfrancis took 1 city of me.
and Russia isnt doing much for me.

but I m not complaining. I was to much focused on expanding i think. And was right in the middle of u all guys.
