I don't have time to play most of the turn tonight, won't be back in front of a computer until tomorrow morning, probably around when the timer would expire. If someone could make sure I have plenty* of time left I'd appreciate it. CH's previous post notwithstanding, the timer was under 24 hours before my part of the turn came around.
*An hour or more remaining would be nice. I'm sorry xenu--I'm still trying to manage playing within my side of the turn split with trying to communicate with/get help from a partner with relatively low availability. I'll try to be more quick (and decisive) in the future

Thanks Jojo. Played, 1:30 left for Caledorn and Dazed. I didn't see a request for a pause so the clock is still running.

Played, and clock left running.

This weekend was an insane mix of work (biggest event of the year), school and children and I did not even get a chance to check the forums despite regularly thinking about it while I was on the run. I missed the turn by less than one hour. I understand that it is "my fault" and am not asking for a reload. I am frustrated, tbh, that we've paused many times for many people and the first time I've ever even be close to being late, I missed my turn. I think what surprised me is that no one even messaged me to check in and ask what was up. The turn actually did matter to my game, though I admit that my chances of winning remain basically the same. But given the hectic pace of life, this situation leads me to ask if I really have the time or energy to continue playing.

I'm sorry to hear that, dazed. 
There is my autosave which is the last one with an hour or so left on the timer. However, I see there have been several people spending a long time in the game in the new turn, so I am not sure a reload would be welcome to them.

Whoever bounced off me, I'm out. Apologies for the super long time logged in. I meant to log out but left rather quickly to deal with something.

well, now I'm bouncing off someone else.
I'm likely going to need a pause, since I have to go to bed now and there's only 8 hours left.
