In case you're wondering where your result file is, I had paused host for the transfer of power at the Lizard Empire to happen. It seems at least they did their homework.

so return the schedule.

The dilemma I'm facing all the time when getting such requests is that I don't know who has seen a particular change and planned their day around it. Same thing with mail requests; I don't know when it will be read and if a "ok, please do your turn within two hours" will be read. Skipping a host date is the safe version where nobody loses a turn but of course it's annoying to power gamers.

To make this easier for all of us, I ask everyone to make change requests with enough lead time. In addition, using the PlanetsCentral messenger will probably reach me faster than email (and saves me the lookup who's asking me :smile:).

That aside, returning the schedule will not give you back that turn, if host ran now, the next fixed date would be next Sunday because the interval for Thursday is too short.

What do you think about end at turn 90 without rolling dice?..
