I'll push back processing to 3pm Eastern given the technical problem we had.

Its now after 5pm Eastern and we are still missing lots of turns, but I can't spend Saturday processing these. I am trying to skip a game and go back to it later after other games but will have to go soon. I promised Mrs. Vor a movie. I know this isn't ideal (I wrote something else before editing), I don't control the technology, but I have to move along. Short answer: get your turns in in the next few minutes for games that were due today.

Well, no game has all active players in it having submitted turns. So I assume players would prefer not running the turns with half the players missing. I'm not sure when turns will run. I realize it came back on line when most people had left for work, and many aren't home yet.

OK Folks,
Its 10pm Friday and we still do not have orders for at least half the players in games today, but no one has sent an email to support or posted on the forum that they are having problems. Please do so if you do have problems. I guess I am working on all the games Saturday instead of what I intended. Turns must be in early, I will process early in the morning regardless - I have tried my best to allow extra time.

Time Warner dropped internet service last night right after game #150 went out about 10:45 PM. I just got it back a few minutes ago and will start on the other games that were due Friday and try to reset the due dates to Tuesday.

Alright, I believe we are caught up.
#146 was an interesting game that was won on Turn 37 by The Deliverer as the Warlock. I'm sort of partial to Warlock and Sorcerer victories, despite my rep for picking on the wizard kingdoms. Congrats to Wynand as well with the Dark Elves for the Silver and somehow the Gray Mouser as the High Elves squeaked out Bronze over a very close Hamlet with the Sorcerer.
#150, #158, and #159 all ran. Note they are all due Tuesday, back to the regular schedule.
Barring more internet interruptions with Time Warner's issues, things should be steady.

Late developing news:
#149 was also run and was a Magic game with team victory to the Demon Princes, Trolls, and Gnomes.
#146 ending apparently was a vision, rather than an actual result. Said differently, the game was run prematurely. Players that missed the turn can submit orders and the turn will be resolved on Monday. Players that already submitted orders cannot make changes or resubmit.
Today (Monday) we processed Warlords 28 and 29, and games 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, and 157.
We also concluded game 146 successfully. The Warlock remained the winner.
Today we processed 150, 158 and 159.
Tomorrow is turn 1 for Game 160, and most Warlords and Titan games.
New players, be sure to hit the submit button on your web order entry. You can go back and repeat as often as you like. You don't want to be like someone I know that did a complete turn and started on another game without submitting. Submitting saves your turn, verifying does not. And you can verify after every order if you like to get updates on remaining gold, see if there are any errors. It's a great tool, and even experienced players benefit significantly from it, and are still learning how to put it to best advantage.
