Sorry guys, my playing window for the evening has come and passed. I won't be able to take a turn until later afternoon tomorrow. Due to war split this may throw things off and leave less than half the time after I play. Who's idea was it to now allow unpausing from diplo anyway?

Since these pauses throw things off in the hassle of getting it unpaused again may I suggest that we extend the game timer to 30 hours (36 hours real time)? Once we get into a routine with the war splits and get the playing windows worked out we should be able to maintain close to a turn/day pace. But at least with the 30 hour timer we'll eliminate the pause variable from affecting the pace.

I went in to try to unpause and I, too, am in a diplo screen.

Now I understand why AW games are so popular in pitboss format...

Game resumed; 4hr on the clock.

[Jowy]

Thanks Commodore. I will play now.

Hmm, it seems I comitted double-move without noticing it. I am all OK for a reload. Sorry for that.

[Cornflakes]

No real harm done with the double move. I'd rather just continue.

[Cornflakes]

Just so it's clear for everyone Bigger/TT's double move is also OK'ed, and will bring us back to a 2 timer split rather than 2metra > Corn > TT.

[Bigger]

it might be better if you just doubled moved 2 metra back, setting up cornflakes> 2metra + TT. especially as you seem to be quicker with your turns than 2 metra and TT.

[Cornflakes]

Maybe? I'm pretty sure this is late night for 2metra and I'm hesitant to knowingly double move back without his consent given the situation. As for being quick with the turns, over the 2 week break i got employed so my playing window is somewhat reduced Anyway, I'll wait until tomorrow morning to play to get confirmation from 2metra, assuming he's get's on before heading to work.

Would anyone be opposed to adding a couple hours to the clock? This is primarily to give flexibility within the turn/day. Turns tend to roll in about 20 hours, but with war splits this inevitably dumps one of the parties into working hours or sleeping hours after a couple turns of rolling early (regardless of whether it's 1st or 2nd in the split). Moving the timer up to 30 hours would let us pick a convenient time of day stick with it every day, allowing enough "extra" time so that after rolling a turn early we can still fall back into the old slot without needing pause. Essentially we arrange a PBEM setup for the war parties with the clock extended to make this possible.

I want to say I am OK with Cornflakes playing before me in this turn, but I will need to have his word he will not really move twice with units near my territory, but just set the turn order straight. Just as I did not moved twice units touching his units. My units which moved in his territory were there for the last 3-4 turns.

I will find increased turn timer very convenient too.
