I think it's time to find some Purrgil.

Hey scooter, did you plant any space whales on this map?

Hey guys. Sorry for the delaying! Normally I'm the one eager to play but this week was practically impossible and don't know how I could have instructed a sub either...

I'll be briefly back to civilization (ha!) Sunday evening and properly in 10 days but should be able to play next week if my battery lasts or I'm able to recharge somewhere... At the very least I'll be able to tell a sub what to do.

So from that perspective we can continue and thanks again for giving me these few days as a break, it made a huge difference and is greatly appreciated. For the reload it's pretty bad and seems it will cost me more than a turn empirewide because it throws off all timings in addition to delaying the settler and worker - I hated to ask for it in the first place and wouldn't have done it if it weren't this bad. But I don't want to ask more of you so if Zulan doesn't manage to fix it this weekend I'll just eat it one way or another.

Don't talk about Purrgils or other Disney abominations! If you want to see the OG Thrawn here is an excellent fan work adaptation of the trilogy (in progress) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CC9fYUDQ6CM

I'll check that out!

My 2c: I'd prefer if we could get the reload, because I'm fully aware of how much this sort of thing can impact engagement. As a fall-back I'd also be happy to take Jabah's suggestion for the rest of us to also put a turn into an unintended tech - though that doesn't feel onerous to me since I've been winging it while on vacation and haven't got things planned to the turn.

At minimum before we made any decision to play on I'd want to hear an update from scooter about the potential timeframe for him & Zulan to investigate / fix the main issue.

Any update?

Let's see what Scooter and Zulan say. Otherwise my laptop battery turned out to be dead but I'll be able to instruct a sub.

Whatever happens you just keep playing your game. No need to waste a turn of research just because it happened to me.

Zulan has not been able to look at it, and there's no ETA on a fix. It's still on his radar, but I don't know that I would really recommend waiting around for it.

If we are about to restart, can I request Magic Science to not roll the turn until I have had an opportunity to log in and check a few things; my previous login ended in a power cut and I didn't want to log in again until we were confirmed as moving forward.

Edit: I should be able to do that within 12-14hrs.

I'll eat it so let's continue and thank you again for being patient. Game unpaused.

Although just realised there isn't much time left on the clock - can someone add time or pause for Dreylin as logging in is hard for me at the moment.

Edit: Nevermind, logged in to pause since the turn was too close to rolling.

Understood.

So PBSPY is still broken on this game.. cant unpause/add time nothing. "shows online" but immediately says its offline. Sigh.
