On the turn timer issue - our observing of the issue suggests they aren't having any trouble finishing their turns, they just don't hit enter. A few turns ago they logged in, played, logged out, and then proceeded to not login for 36 hours while the turn timer ran out. They do stuff like this pretty frequently, and it makes it really hard for me to be sympathetic towards them. So I would gently ask you guys to consider that - not as a diplomatic thing - but just as a practical thing for keeping the interest in this game. The German team doesn't have any issues actually playing in that window, they just don't end the turn (if they had 5 hours or 5 days to end turn I don't believe they would do it in either case).
WPC is the other side in the war and they're in favor of a reduced timer, so I truly believe this is best for everyone (and so does the entirety of my team). FWIW, this is mainly in the interest of manageable war turns. If it was peace and turns were falling every 48 hours or so at maximum, we could deal with that. However, we've played 10 turns in the last 33 days, which is a pace of 9T/month. If we keep that up, this game will last 3+ years pretty easily, and there's no way I will still be playing this game in 3 years.

We're just trying to defog as much of the map as possible with Welcome Wagon right now since screenshot trading is banned pre-Paper, but directions would be much appreciated. Has diplomatic contact with the Spanish team gotten any better or are they still kind of difficult to communicate with? We have several Spanish speakers on our team, so we're hoping that might help things go smoothly with them.
Thanks,
