Yes, that's at least my understanding. If you can't play your turn every day, get someone to play it for you. Else you'll miss it. Though building/research won't be necessary to be changed this turn for anyone, so the most they'll lose is one scout-turn.

I say let the turn roll.

Anything not played will be covered ideally by a roving sub, either set up beforehand or just taken over. If you and the lurker-helpers miss, you miss. If you think you might have time of possible missing turns, please leave plans in your game thread. This is necessary to keep the game moving, because with such a large roster, pausing for everyone will kill the game.
Is the turn timer set to 22h?
I know that it says 24h in game settings, but feels like the turn rolled one hour ago and now it's only 21h left. Also, would it be better with a 25-26h timer? Won't matter for us in the coming weeks, but if you're just one player and have one slot a day when you can somewhat reliably play, then those 1-2h could make quite a difference if you're (un-)lucky.
Played in PB27
Yeah, just let the turns roll especially for scout moves. Tasunke said he was going to take over his civ today, but since this is the third day in a row of him missing I'll see if Tsargon can still take over for him.

The pitboss timer is set to 22h because pitboss doesn't record time while people are logging in (as far as I understand it), so a 22h timer is actually closer to 24h. Getting the turns to roll once every 24 hours is best, because that keeps the turn rolling at the same time every day.
....provided it runs down to 0.....
I think pb18 managed SOME less-than-24-hours turns in the early game. Shouldn't be that freakin hard. Just ASK. "I can't play turn x. Some lurker please make some intelligent moves. Thanks." Complete internet failure could happen, but people just forget

Yes, hopefully this happens. And hopefully Borsche remembers to play today. Or at least that there are lurkers awake to move his scout. I'm guessing due to the timing of this past turn roll, there weren't any lurkers awake/available to be able to take care of that this time around? Would not be good to have a civ miss it's scout move 2 turns in a row. Not that it's terrible, but it does hinder the early game slightly.
Sorry about that guys, I was pretty violently ill yesterday, last night, and still am now lol so I just completely forgot about the game. Also I had to reinstall windows this morning haha. I'm not too worried about missing a scout move, but I don't want to hold up the turn roll, so yeah, sorry.
