Damned, I noticed this thread much too late.

I expected as well, the the game is somehow finshed, likewise happened in Pleiades6 recently. This incontinuous bahviour of the automated host is really confusing and may result in avoidable mistakes.

Can't we simply declare a game to be at it's end?

There's a 10% probability that this turn is the last one. 15% for the next one. And so on. I can't say beforehand (by intention).

I thought it was the host (human) that ended it :lol:

The idea behind PlanetsCentral is that it can run without human intervention. Many servers died because the human behind them didn't have the time to keep it running. If you don't challenge me with schedule change requests or things like that, a game can run from start to completion without me lifting a finger.

Of course I currently still have to do a thing here or there from time to time, but game end conditions are things a computer can decide pretty well.
