That was truly unexpected... I can't remember the scheduler acting that way from Just a Second. Anyway, granted that no one objects I'll end my t35 now and send it via mail?

The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what you mean. Thinking a little more, what the scheduler did was totally expected: host runs Sundays and Thursdays 16:00 GMT, and since there was no Sunday turn, it'll happily run a host in the 16:00 -- 22:00 time window allocated for the host run. It was a busy week, so I probably would have overlooked that anyway. Sort of like an easter-egg, maybe.

I have now reset the game to the previous state and hope I didn't break anything (there isn't a function to do that yet in the software, so it's manual work in the file system and database).

Please submit your turn file for turn 35. Since everyone has seen the "preview" of turn 36, I cannot forbid you to use that knowledge and update your turn.

I will monitor the game and re-enable the scheduler when everything works fine again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
