How long is the turn timer now? Can we expect to see incoming stacks later today, assuming they don't wait til turn 175?

Civplayers is logged in right now. However, I am too scared of a misclick to log into the game myself.

If that was the case I'd get onto Caledorn, point out that this is a joint attack, and force them into whichever half we want them in. If they want to game the system then we should get what half we want, no matter when we move.

I don't think Caledorn has power over the mod

I think we should hold on logging in until poly and CP end their turn...

If somehow we got sandwiched between them that would be complete and utter bullshit and I would require it be changed or quit in protest.

Relax, they very clearly just are grabbing the first half of the timer.

So uh, anyone know whether we're getting a timer extension this turn? The timer's already half depleted and they are showing no signs of ending turn.

I vaguely recall that I do in fact have the option to force a swap in the turn order via the webpage, if Magno_uy/Manolo has remembered to upgrade my user there to game admin again (I requested that it be removed at the start of the game because I was participating on Team CFC at the time). If I haven't been upgraded it should be a simple matter to have one of them upgrade me.

Another point I'd like to mention is that unless my memory is completely borked (which may or may not be the case), Apolyton and CP will share the first half of the timer, while you guys will get second half. I don't believe the timer will be split in three, and I also believe that the team that has first half in the CFC/CivFR war will share their half with Apolyton/CP, and the second team will share with you guys. I may be wrong, but I think that's how it worked in the test Pitboss.

The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

That's correct, and also fits with the last multi-war played out (Spanish-CFC and German-WPC/RB). It's not so much as a split timer, as an enforced turn order anyway.

I think that CivFr have the first half of the timer, meaning (assuming CivFr stay at war with CFC and that CFC declare on us too):

CivFr, Apolyton, CP can play from the turn roll.
CFC can play once CivFr end turn
RB can play once CivFr, CFC, Apolyton and CP end turn

It may be that everyone plays pretty quick so it isn't a problem, but it also might be a good idea to ask CivFr and CFC if they would mind switching order?
