[TECH] Pitboss 38 IT and Tech Issues Thread

The problem with a strict timer is those days when someone plays earlier than their normal slot one day.
So the turn ends early (Yay!), but then the next day it tries to end early as well but the player can't get to it because he isn't even home from work yet.

I think our current 25ish hour average is just fine. It feels annoying when we pause, but the statistics show it really isn't that bad.

would switching to a 48 hr timer avoid the need to pause? or wouldnt matter.

My advice is to avoid fixing what is not broken. Elkad has correctly pointed out that we are doing an excellent job.

Agreed. Don't extend the timer, that just removes the sense of urgency to play even further and then people will still have to wait on turn splits.

Going to need a pause this turn. Been in hospital last 18 hours not sure when leaving and don't care about the game right now. Sorry guys

Thanks, turn played, back to the hospital. If the timer runs low again please pause again, though that's a full day from now, hopefully won't be an issue.

Turn played thank you Adrien. I didn't repause when I logged out as I didn't see a request from Old Tourist. 96 minutes on the clock for them.

I may be erratic or late a few more days as my wife is still in the hospital, patience a few more days guys, sorry again. She's recovering from surgery and doing better now, should be able to go home this weekend if all goes well. Then I can return my pyft rating to its previous level.
