LTXIV - timeout
Fri, 11/14/2008 - 12:31 — kevin551
I suggest we change the timeout setting. It configures the length of turn.
We have already discussed changing the timeout settings. The options mentioned include.
1. 24 hours
2. 22 hours
3. 26 hours
The last longturn game used a timeout of 24 hours.
My reason for adding the poll is to rotate the time of turn change across all time zones.
Setting in the core server settings.
timeout - Maximum seconds per turn
Minimum: -1, Default: 0, Maximum: 8639999
What timeout setting should we use in LTXIV ?
- 23h (write-in) (54.5%)
- 26 hours
- 22 hours
- 24 hours
- 25 (write-in)

Changing the time of turn change.
The problem with 24 hour turns is that some time zones will be disadvantaged because the turn change is always at a time when they cannot play. Hence I have voted for 23 hour turns to allow the turn to rotate by 1 hour each day.
Initially I wanted to include the moverefill patch as an alternative in this vote. Because the greatest problem at turn change is the double turn attack. Maho correctly rejected this.
