I just don't understand.....
Why have a due date when it isn't...?? Especially
with the 1 week games. The due date is the due date,
and on the due date, the turns are put into the
program, and then sent out when done. Simple and
fair.
Especially for us NAmericans.....we have to have the
turns submitted, essentially, the night BEFORE the
"due date" and then get our results some time, 2 days
later...or 3 if they go back on their written word and
wait an extra day for the 1 week games.....4 day game?
Ah well, bugs and problems etc. Not expecting anyone
to have thought of everything before hand. Just
hoping to see the problems that arise dealt with
effectively. Especially in this game, I already lost
a turn because of the whole transition and Sunday due
date (I still want an explanation for that...)
conflicting with my out-of country vacation. Starting
to get bitter. Oh yeah, I also overran an army in this
game..........but didn't....what next?
Regards,
Brad Brunet who was hoping to get his turn back with
only a few more days left before his orders were due...

Actually, the "deadline" is 10am GMT on the day _after_ the due date -
that's when they do their "final check" of email (and I suppose faxes,
possibly even voicemail tho' I doubt it ...) for submissions, then input
the data and run the turns. This equates into roughly 5am et the day
_after_ the "Return Before" date that's printed on the turn, in the
back, at the front of the order-submission part.Hope that's clear.
