*edit, and now it works. If something on my firewall (ZoneAlarm Security Suite) needs to be configured so that it allows other people to connect while I'm in the game, I would need someone to tell me what settings need to be changed. It's been awhile since I've had to deal with those types of settings. Thanks.

Uh... so Rome, you've now founded your city but forgot to end your turn? Come on guys, 17/18 civs have been waiting for 8+ hours, and now this...

Um, could we stop with that please like right now? Yes there are 3 of us. Yes we all want to take a look around. Yes that might mean that we take the full turn-timer of the first turn. Isn't that the idea of a longer timer? I mean I don't think anyone of us intends to play the timer but at least I certainly won't let myself get rushed by others (and that includes you Lewwyn as well  )
edit: And as is seems some are indeed serious about that I'll give a serious reply in the words of someone I think knows his stuff

I have no problem with teams taking the time to discuss things before they make their moves. From Tatan's post above I understood you were just waiting to decide on your city placement.

Well, it would be a spoiler to tell you. But if it makes you more comfortable I can tell you that we won't need nearly as much time for the next 5 turns at least... well, except for discussing scout movements, but that shouldn't take as long.

Okay then, no problem. I just noticed the city being founded and assumed the lack of an ended turn meant there must have been an oversight.

No, it isn't really. I don't want to get in this fight, but the reason T1 has a long timer and not, say, a critical end-game turn is for connectivity reasons. Now no one made that a rule or anything, but I personally think there's a level of courtesy to end turn before 24 hours and a different level to not go into the bonus T1 time.
Aside from that, can we please take the "hurry up" "make me" "finish faster, you have your city" "we'll play faster next time" to the public thread. This game is unique, in that all discussion is supposed to go there, and it's actually more OK to harass people about ending turn versus past games. In like RBP4 such harassment might be poor form, but here harass away in the appropriate thread and let people decide who's side they support more and if it impacts things in game.
Going forward though, please only post actual IT/connectivity/etc issues here.
