Turn timer stops counting down when players log in. That only takes a couple minutes per player but it adds up.

How much time has been left on the clock each day? It doesn't seem like we're having people delay to the last minute so a longer timer isn't a big deal for now. I'm one of the people who plays around the same time every day, so one every 24 hours or so. Having a bit of slack time in the timer is good for me so I don't have to stress about making it in at the last second in case my play window happens to fall near the end of the clock.
As long as we don't have players abusing a longer timer I think it's OK, as it should prevent pauses. If we're all playing a turn a day on the whole things will keep rolling smoothly.

As such, I could easily need some lurker assistance in playing the Thu and / or Fri turns. Also a reminder that I may need a lurker to play a few of my turns from April 5th through April 12. This weekend I will attempt installing the game on my external USB HD to have the plug into my work laptop to see if I can run the game from there. I seem to recall I might have done that once. But there's a good chance I might not be able to play the turns at all for that week while I'm on vacation.
FWIW, I've always been able to run Civ 4 just by copying the directory around. It doesn't actually need any installation at all. My current Civ setup has been manually copied across two computers and three Windows reinstallations.
This is the original version plus BTS each from CDs, not Steam or any of the compilation releases.
really? I'll have to try that...

No need for lurker support (this turn). Cheers, Ruff
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
