I hope I have not just caused host to run twice within less than 1 day for Titan 18, Titan 21 and Lupus 1. I assumed it to be a good idea to submit my final turn today so nobody needs to wait unnecessarily. But now the clock is ticking and apparently it's only a few hours until the next host, Titan 18 even just 5 hours...

Stefan, please HELP! :smile:

Thanks & Cheers,
Mike

never seen this before. usually it was always that if all turns were in early the next hostrun will be set to the second next date. I hope Stefan will see it and react before the deadline.

Don't worry, the next action is "Schedule Change" and not "Run Host". It is only a few hours ... until the schedule changes and the game returns to its normal schedule from its current schedule "Run host when all turns are in".

Yep, schedule of Titan 18 has returned to normal. Never mind, sorry for having been a little overreactive :lol:

Although the scheduler is the part of PlanetsCentral that I trust least, this part is already pretty proven:

If we are on a Sun/Thu schedule, host only runs on Thursday if it's been a complete Sunday-Thursday (or Thursday-Sunday) interval since the last one. The idea is that you can look at the schedule and say "oh, I have time on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can play this game", and even if a host runs early, you can still keep this regime, and it will not force you to do a turn on another day.

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