Anyway, I'm starting my count from this turn. When it's over, I'll present the stats in the first post of this thread.
Maybe if someone would be nice enough to give me some popups-free webspace, I'll have a nice eye-candy page like Borc's old counter. *hint*hint*

[Shiber]

AHA!
It's finally done. Let me know what you think!
The New Time Counter!

I'd like feedback regarding the design, the usability, etc'. I also need webspace - I can't use that server forever. I don't think they even know that I'm using it. (long story, don't ask...)

Shiber - it is suberb!

Question - is there any concept of the old 'green' hours incorporated. Or is the approach simply that everybody has similar RL constraints - which makes sense to me.

Also - thank you, thank you, thank you for starting on Vox's quickest turn in the last month.

Speaking of which - the other teams' patience with some of our longer moves over the last while is appreciated. Mostr have been in-game related, some have been out-of-game (ie player unavailability).

Again Shiber - great job. And much needed. Love the background. One suggestion - make the V3 at the top the same colour as the CI, or vive-versa. At first glance I was wondering what a V3 counter was. I thought it was the third version.

Thanks again!

And thanks for starting on Lego's longest turn in months :P

[Shiber]

Thanks Beta!
Green hours: no. I'm expecting teams to have more than one player and try to disperse them over different time zones. If a team has only one player and therefore the game can be delayed by hours for nothing while that player is sleeping or at work, that team is responsible.
V3: I know, and I agree... but I tried to imitate the original logo of Chrono Trigger as much as possible. In Chrono Trigger, the big clock/C was the C in Chrono and the H was covered by the same texture as the C, and the rest of the text was dark purple. I cut the side of the H to make it into an I and added V3... but I suppose you're right, it's not clear enough this way. I'll see what I can do.

ZargonX: sorry...
It was really just an arbitary decision.

[FrustratedPoet]

Don't you just love the Chrono Trigger-inspired logo? I know I do.

So do I.

No problem, Shiber! We'll more than make it up with our future square-peg efficiency

[Shiber]

Okay, how about it now?
I gave up sticking with the original for readability.
Now it says PTWG Counter. I removed the original I, and the half-clock is no longer a C.

[Shiber]

FP: Looking back, I find that Chrono Trigger and Seiken Densetsu 3 were two of the most positive experiences in my life.

[Shiber]

I've made a few changes to the page.
RP's icon now has a transparent background instead of a white one, and blends with the rest of the page.
Also, I used layers to add an animated racing counter to the logo. What do you think, is this an improvement or not?

Thanks! Its good to see that the time counter is running again! great work!
