I have proposed a pause in a game (138702), everyone claims to have agreed to it except one player who had his remaining units destroyed in the previous turn (spring) and will probably lose his remaining centres this winter. If my calculations are right if we have a there are no finalises the build phase should finish about 1 hour before the first day of the pause CET. This raises a few questions about pause requests:
If a player has no units and his only supply centre is not a home centre I assume he is still alive regarding votes for pauses. If this happens would a mod be willing to impose a pause manually?
Do pause requests expire (obviously they expire at the end of the requested period but do they expire after a certain period or at the start of the pause request period)?
If a player is eliminated is there a check for the pause request to be accepted?
If the above answers and my maths or a processing delay means the pause is rejected can you request a pause with today as the start date that will come into action as soon as everyone has agreed, even if it is the next day before everyone sees it?
