ahhh the fabled admins

Ok,

Here be fair warning that next team to go over 12 hours is liable to have their turn played on their behalf.

Current save time is 3 hrs 20 mins and counting.

[Paddy]

fair warning indeed

yet so to fair notice of delays will still be accepted, right?

[OPD]

Yeah

By played you mean skipped, I believe. We chose skipping rather than playing, as you could more easily screw things up by playing and trying to do the things for the team.

[ormuzd]

just a reminder
our team is not able to play outside the time frame we have specified in the beginning

I may not be able to warn and we usually receive the save in the mornings

yup, just trying to make it sound less harsh, more as though it's helping a team by playing their save for them. Esc out of all trade screens then just clicking on end turn.

13 hours... but who is really counting

Also, I noticed, that for some time the limit is now 12 hours not 24. This is not a real time period for me, I have for example saturdays and sundays 11 hour shifts at work plus some time for commuting.

Playing our team turns by skipping them by admins is not acceptable for me. Either we are in control of our team or not.

I resign from the game and post for a new turnplayer in our forum. There may be someone willing to continue, but judgeing from the activity of members of the Lost Boys this team have quite a chance of becoming extinct.

Hopefully a new player will come forward from your team, although having multiple people to play the save can also work?
However it's probably best to ask in the main forum for someone new to join the team with a view to playing the save regularily.

I too would have problems playing a save within any 12 hour time period due to work commitments. The only reason your turn wasn't played earlier today was due to me having to go into work earlier than usual.

[Paddy]

Well could the first civilization to leave this game actually be through extinction?
Did you all get caught outside in the sunlight?

Amazing, all quite amazing...

Lost Boys, you may want to be in contact with a gent known as Modo. If this is to be a team of the dead and have only one player, then the warrior of the East just maybe who you need to salvage the situation... Although you may then have a human as your leader, not a vampire.

Sorry, no go. Playing the save quickly is fun. Being forced to do so is not. 12 hours is plain old crazy. Look, even the admin (!) did not make it to do his duty on time.

[McMeadows]

It's not all that bad, there are 6 teams, that all have a 12 hour limit. 1 time the save went round in 7 hours, all other turns took longer.
It helps to have a back-up player that can take over (at night) when the first player is not able to play.

[ormuzd]

the 12 hours rule is ridiculous

there are two teams who can't meet it.
