The ISP is planning maintenance of the virtualisation platform next week (October 22th to 30th). This means the server will not be reachable for a few hours. If the exact downtime coincides with host runs, I will defer those.

If the server is not reachable when you try to submit your turn, remember that you can always send your turn by mail by replying to the result emails. Mail will be queued in the Intertubes and be processed when the server comes back.

Server is back. I set all games that "missed" a host run to "run when all turns are in" until next host date (Sunday).

If the missing players submit their turn in time (or mark them final) now, the game will stay on time.

Well, one part that wasn't great and excellent was that the Sunday host was skipped as well. That was not intentional.

I finally found the reason: for simplicity, I had set the end of the waiting period to the same time for all games (the admin interface isn't exactly user-friendly yet). Because that happened to be too long after the regular host hour, the Sunday host was skipped.

I hope you enjoyed your break :smile:
