Pitboss 18 IT and Tech Issues Thread

Zanth is only remaining play to play turn and Parkin has logged in to Zanth but not ended turn.
Do I let the turn roll, or does Zanth need more of his turn playing? EDIT: Zanth turn not played as of yet, LP not logged in this turn to play for Zanth, that is relic form last turn.
I'm done, I'm pretty sure I ended turn. If I didn't then that was a mistake, but I'm totally done with the turn. I stopped playing part way through the turn (domestic moves finished only at that point) when people started trying to log in. I know I play slowly so it seemed easier to get out and let them play before finishing my turn. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to drop the idea of one turn per day while we have these troubles with everyone suddenly bouncing off one another. Just throwing the idea out here to see what people think.

It's definitely not fair for players to miss a turn for a technical reason. And given war turn splits that means people may not be able to play in a suitable period of time without a traffic jam like we had at the end of last turn. I'd hesitate to extend the timer because that encourages people to delay playing. Maybe we hold extending the timer as the reserve action if this becomes an ongoing trends? I do like having a turn to play every day though and would rather not give that up until absolutely necessary.

I just reset every part of the equipment chain, from the server to the fibre optic modem. The problem I encounter with the Pitboss windows freezing for 30 seconds after I select Direct IP did not resolve. I can attempt to uninstall the Windows Updates, but I'd rather not as some of them are critical updates. If anyone has any ideas, please share (the only two changes are those updates, and the IP address - and the latter seems a highly improbable cause in my head, since it is only the external IP and everything on the inside is set up to deal with a change of external IP seamlessly).
