This may be intentional due to the earlier problem, but I joined a realtime game and the timer is now @ 17 minutes for one of the player's turns.

If boot/skip timers are not running then I suggest they do not apply to real-time games started since the problem OR that all realtime games be terminated and not allow the creation of them until boot timers are re-enabled.

I'm having the same problem in this game:

What is strange is that the host isn't posting or giving any indication he is there and this is a two-person game.    Could he be locked out somehow as part of the problem?  Or is it just that even though he started a fisher mode game, he immediately left and it's just the auto-boot not kicking in.    For what it's worth, I also noticed that my timer never started when I moved first.

per http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/2697p1/Site_outage_02_Oct_2012#2 it'll be re-enabled tomorrow morn

They were re-enabled earlier than planned for this reason.
