I definitely can’t think of any other game that wakes me up in the middle of the night wondering whether I should move a unit of spearmen one block to the left

And then wakes me up again an hour later wondering whether I should move them back again

QT3Snoozers

Game is still set to host in about 24 hours, and no one has their turns in. Nikolaj, can I please ask for a delay?

Sure thing! Is 24 hours enough?

edit: Uh, I added 24 hours, but for some reason it now says it won’t host until monday. Llamaserver seems to be having a few issues at the moment.

… hmmm QTFour has disappeared completely from llamaserver now! Snoozers is still there though

definitely something weird going on

back, but not hosting until saturday?

Akaoni · 2014-11-12T17:41:37.000Z

I know that DireAussie got his turn in on QT3Snoozers (Fomoria) earlier, and its not there. My turn, just emailed in, just showed up. So I think everyone will have to resubmit their turns.

Nikolaj · 2014-11-12T18:05:02.000Z

Did everybody update to the latest patch?

Yep, llamabeast bumped all the turn timers when llamaserver came back up:

Hi all, llamabeast here. I believe the LlamaServer should now be back up and running. It will take a while (maybe 12 hours even!) to process the backlog of games that need hosting. I’ve postponed all the turn timers to allow people to get back on track. Any admin actions during the last 24 hours may have been lost - admins, please check!

Pyperkub · 2014-11-12T20:46:41.000Z

Aha! Thanks!

pyrhic · 2014-11-12T22:14:45.000Z

I will name my pretender “I, too, am Frank”

Haha, love the link. In that spirit, all we have to do to avoid revealing identities…is to encourage people to adopt other people’s naming conventions, thus mystifying everyone. It’s nothing a few dozen hours browsing the forums shouldn’t reveal. ;)

I’ll leave unit renaming on then. I’m Spartacus, no I’m Spartacus, etc… :)

psyanojim · 2014-11-13T11:44:56.000Z

Only 1 pretender in so far…

… I can’t tell if llamaserver is healthy or not, the server times look all screwed up. ‘Current Time’ is completely wrong, and different games are showing different times!

psyanojim · 2014-11-13T11:59:08.000Z

Ahha, now suddenly 3 have all appeared at once. Llamaserver must be clearing a backlog again.

Akaoni · 2014-11-13T12:02:31.000Z

I hit reload on my browser and see 4.

psyanojim · 2014-11-13T12:10:06.000Z

Yeah, could have been stale pages getting served up as well. I was getting some very weird current times for all the pages I looked at.

So should we wait to submit pretenders, or just go for it?

Go for it!

8 pretenders in, 4 to go…

Akaoni · 2014-11-17T18:34:36.000Z

QTAnon
We just lack Man as a pretender upload.

The mere fact that I know that should not be construed that I am playing Man, and purposely not uploading because I am trying out ELITE STRATS TO PWN YOU ALL. No. These are not the droids you are looking for. Move along…

Pyperkub · 2014-11-17T19:08:32.000Z

Oh, Man

Man, Oh, Man
