Nasty bug encountered in my game

http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=75129

I moved while having 205 hours and instead of 240 I got 0 hours. Lucky I was online and moved quickly otherwise next vacation day would be lost, just check, the game didnt even last for 10 days, so this is clear case.

Nothing to do with the problem described above, but:

is it just me who thinks that the times are displayed the wrong way round? For example, when it says

Time for players: 36/240

it is the first player who has 240 hours, and the second who has 36.

Hm I thought originally, the problem resides somewhere when adding time, as after addition my time of 204-205 + 36 was exactly the full value of 240 hours, where I thought daemon somehow overrun while evaluating mathematical expression using some modulo operator or so and then the resulting time was 0 instead of 240, but the case hector mentioned in last 2 games is very different, no move was made at all. Just hope this will be fixed soon. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I just used up a vacation day before, in fact I used it before making the first move in the game, perhaps this could lead the developer to the right way.

Nick: Yes, looks a bit weird, but you get used to it. While the players are shown in "US notation" - starting player is displayed below the second, the times are displayed starting/second player.

I don't know what makes that "US notation". It vertainly isn't in chess, where we here list White first just as everyone else does.

I don't know what makes that "US notation". It certainly isn't in chess, where we here list White first just as everyone else does.

lol, just judged it by ice hockey and similar sports where this is always the case and it looks curious from our european sight. Just like some nations have problems to join metric, when I hear feet, always thinking with a smile, what a foot was the base, child, mature man or some bigfoot :P

Om American sports, the home team is generally listed last. That's because in baseball, the home team generally (always, for the last 50 years or so) bats last.
