Hello,

Next week I will not be able to do the turns. I would like to request a pause in the game from March 31 to April 6.

Thank you

I would be strongly in favour of this. I'll be on vacation myself for the first 2 weeks of April, although I hope I should have internet access to submit turns during that time so I don't need any additional pause.

Is there a place without 3g in 2019?.. :smile:

Of course, think, we always should wait for reliable players.

Siba, have you ever been in Germany? There are places without internet or mobile phone network.

I agree with a break.

Come to Canada, 90% of the country had zero coverage. Of course, 90% of the country is also barren wasteland, but there are still significant parts of the cross-country highway that lack coverage.

I've been at Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Goslar :smile:

Of course there are such places without net, but people needn't to be there as usual :smile:

You could also be in God's Own Country with top-notch reception, and get told by your phone that it won't open a wifi hotspot for your laptop because AT&T's network does not allow that.

That aside, we're going to holidays so we don't need to think all the time: did I turn off the oven? Did I close the window? Did I set that Intercept mission?

Anyway, at least I hope that this site remains usable even if you only have 2G reception :smile:

Oh yes, I'd love to. Canada is one of the countries that I would like to visit. And then I need a break from VGA Planets so I can enjoy the trip :smile:

Evil & Borg asked for pause, but we're waiting for Bird...

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
