It's been a long while since the last turn was generated, I thought the first 14 years would be generated TWICE a day, so far, it's barly once a day.
Why?

In my original message about the game I think that I had said that the game would be generated five days a week. For the first fourteen years of the game it would be generated twice a day. That is why we generated thursday at 13:00 GMT, Friday at 01:00 GMT, and Friday at 13:00 GMT. The next turn will be generated on Monday at 01:00 GMT at which point the schedule will be reset to turn generation every thirteen hours or when everyone has submitted until Friday at 13:00 GMT at which point the game will go on hold again for the weekend. The following monday will see two turn generations if we have not already reached the fourteenth year of the game, and then the turn generation will be reduced to once a day at 01:00 GMT monday to friday (although turns can be generated earlier if everyone has submitted). If, people submit fast enough that we can get ahead of the schedule each week, the schedule will be reset each friday to ensure that the game generates on the following monday.

I hope that this clears up some of the confusion.

Sorry, I live in Israel, so when I think of weekend I think of friday and saturday, not sunday Very Happy

I still don't understand why McKulz claim that it makes the weekend easier if a the 4 min of playing Stars! are spared...

Hello everyone;

it is the weekend again. The game will generate over the weekend only if everyone submits their turn files. Next week we will reach the end of the first fourteen turns of this game and as such will be switching to turns being generated at 01:00 GMT unless everyone submits their turns (Monday through Friday). The following week the game will be set to generate whenever everyone has submitted their turns or after 48 hours. That way anyone who needs to go see relatives for a few hours during the "holiday" will not have to worry about missing their turn, but the game will not stall either.

Just in case people are wondering why I have been going for 3 or so turns without turning in a turn, it has been due to a now eratic internet connection. It was working fine, but now it's only working when IT wants to. I have a new theory on what maybe causing it and we'll see what happens.

Just a few reminders to everyone:

1) You should only have your ally set to friendly.
2) The winning partnership will be voted upon, or be the only one's left.
3) To win your ally must still be alive!
4) We are here to have fun! ROFL

If you have any questions or concerns about anything going on in the game please feel free to contact me and we will see what we can work out.
