Can't say this game played out the way I had hoped, but I had fun while it lasted. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for playing Niklas and for sticking it out to the end!
Looks like we have also lost Ricardo unfortunately (to AI). The position is open if anyone wants it.

Now we've lost Ricardo for real.
And then there were 13...

Thanks for letting us know Sarge.
For short absences of a few turns, it's usually fine to queue up your orders in-game and we just let the timer run out each turn. For anything more than a few days though (or if at war), you would normally you would be expected to find a temporary player to play your turns while you're gone.
Since it's Christmas though, there'll probably be a few other players in the same situation and I am going to be out of town myself in fact, starting this Thursday for 11 days (and then again for a couple of days around New Year's, but I'll be back home in between very briefly to check in on things).
So I'd like to propose just increasing the timer before I leave (to 999 hours or similar) so that no-one is forced to miss their turns over the holiday period. Anyone who's going to be away that can find a sub to play for them to help keep things moving, please do.
BTW - Sarge, you might try asking da_Vinci if he'd sub for you? He subbed for oyzar previously (before you took over the civ), so he's already subbed for your civ before, and I know he's available.

Tomorrow is my last day before my trip, so I'm taking the server down briefly now for a precautionary reboot and will temporarily turn off the turn timer (it'll take effect from next turn) until I get back.
Please try to keep the game moving though and find a sub if possible if you're going to be away for any extended period...

Where did we land on the extended timer for the game? I'd be in favor of of an extended break until after Christmas if possible.

Sarge, you took over for Oyzar? I had subbed for him early in the game, so I could do some subbing for you if you like ...

Hi folks,
I'm now back from my vacation and have reset civstats and the game timer. I did it a few days ago but have been slow to post about it here... sorry not to give everyone more warning.
The turn timer is back at 48 hours now and a new turn has already begun, with only a couple of hours left. Due to the short notice at restarting the game, I've logged in to leave it paused to give USun, Phillip and whiplash a chance to play.
I'll unpause it in the next 24-48 hours if we don't hear back from them before then. Otherwise, let's get this game started again.
Happy New Year everyone.

USun and Phillip have played and whiplash logged in twice yesterday so I'm guessing just forgot to end turn.
Please can someone log in now and unpause it and we'll get the game going again? I have a diplo screen up so I can't easily do it myself.

I tried to log in the game but I got stuck in the staging room and I cannot connect since then.

I'm going to retire now. The Empire's defeat is at hand. Glad I could "help" out for the time I was there.
Good Luck all.

Fair enough. Thanks for playing Sarge and hope you can join us again for a new game sometime.
Sorry for the lack of warning everyone, but I'm moving house this weekend so will be taking the server down in a couple of hours from now. The game should be back up again sometime late on Tuesday (with a new IP address).
Wish me luck with the packing!
