I'm not permitted to comment on matters of such importance here.
P.S. Where's RP?
They're taking longer to play their turn than it took us to decide to declare... erm... I mean...
The 24 hour mark approaches...

Sorry, I totally forgot to send on the save. I was quite distracted when we played yesterday afternoon. I just sent it along now.

Wow, the two slowest teams at the start have become the two fastest teams by far. From where does this trend stem?

Did you send it or not?
Edit: I understand that you sent the wrong save, but does it take sooooo loooong to send the good one?

I never sent it. I played it and was about to send, but I realized it was actually 1750 BC that I played and not 1725.

I don't think we can expect the save to move on quickly - extenuating circumstances and all. Perfectly understandable, IMHO - it will happen from time to time.

So, Lux has the save for 29 hours.
Helloooo !! I thought the 24 hours rule is still active, regardless of Borc's counter.

Maybe not so quickly if they are having problems, but following the rule of 24 hours for playing the turn.

Use time well anyway but be fast
As Main:
I don't hope that this is getting *standard*, to take time long like that.
As longer as the game run, there are more options possible, will it be than longer as that example to take turn for the Team who are in War or in big negotiation's?!
We got the 24 hours rule for that.

Yes, let us not forget the 24 hour rule... it was put in place for a reason. If we start saying that "it's ok, things in the game are complicated... we can let it slide..." then soon everyone will be taking 36 hour turns and the game really will run until 2017 (where I'll probably still be waiting for MoO3...)

The 24 hour rule must be followed. The only delay that we should accept is some sort of RL emergency or tragedy that delays playing the game. I know the present situation is very messy, and some very difficult decisions need to be made, but we cannot let the 24 hour deadline slip or this game will begin to drag to a crawl.

If they keep razing their citys with that speed there is hardly a chance that our troops will ever see luxian Territory at all!

Gathering Storm does realize that the 24 hour thing is a guideline and not a requirement don't they?
You don't have to wait 24 hours before you send on the save.

We would have normally sent the save shortly after it arrived (there wasn't much to discuss this turn), but alas, the RL of our leaders dictates a different schedule.
