Yep, sorry I was unclear. I just sent my last turn to the absent quinss a couple of days ago, and Math played that one for quinns. So I am still waiting for my first chance to send a turn to alex2004!

more precisely, i nexted quinns. since i am myself playing in this game i wont play for anyone else. i simply open the turn, look at nothing but the lower right corner and the 'n' key, wait until i see the symbols in the lower right corner, hit 'n', look at the screen again and if there doesnt happen to be a new-tech menu i select 'quit' without seeing anything of the player's turn. if there is such a tech menu (which happens occasionally with this nexting technique) i simply dont look at hit and try to hit 'quit' without taking a glance at that menu.

just for information

oh yeah i get it. i just missed my turn an have to wait for all the others to make their next turn... perfect timing! :P

[alex2004]

erm... innit a bit quiet on here?

[Mathemagician]

gumpold is making his son (jkl) play the turn soon.

[alex2004]

yo he better do... wasn't there something about a 24 hours rule or something?

[Mathemagician]

hmm 48 hours effectively.

and then it is easier to overlook a turn that is not there than one that is there, in order to realize i have to next someone.

[alex2004]

so are you gonna next him or is he gonna move his butt soon(no offence!)

[Mathemagician]

after the 48h im gonna next him. thats the rules currently.

[alex2004]

oh i thought it was more than 48 hours already.... well then...

48 hours is normal, I know from my own life that some days are just to busy and you don't get a chance to go online and you do all your turns the next day. Just have to be a little patient

One thing to remember is that it's 48 hours per player, not per turn. Since there are 7 other player besides yourself that could be up to 336 hours or 14 days(!) till you get a turn. Of course it normally doesnt take that long, I am just being extreme

[Mathemagician]

apparently there was a problem with the turn number. i was sent some turn 44 on sunday, but turn 45 to jkl already on thursday, so it really was more than 48 hours since the last correct turn number.
i resent turn 45 to jkl now. you got 24h from now on. clock ticking.

[alex2004]

i know it is 48h per player but afaik 3 days is more than 48hours... :P that's why i asked...
