I can think of other games like the Iliad (won by Toni btw)
Well beta was on the winning side by the way
Sadly we ended it before we can complete our D-Day master plan!Comment

Excellent points, Nols. Voice of experience speaking here folks.Originally posted by condor223
you are going to be in this game for about 18 months, or longer.. it will be 18 months on fast, and maybe a few years on marathon.
I ended up subbing for someone in a great pitboss game and found it was a chain for many. You cant take vacations, its hard to find subs. so please for your happiness, make it on fast speed or spend more than a year trying to finish this one.
Nols.

You are probably right. How about my other two proposals to speed the start up?Originally posted by Beta
Way too much. The Iliad had a 16 hour turn timer, and believe me, that got to be work.
24 hours per turn for a game like this works very well. It is still a bit of work, but manageable.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez DávilaComment

Well I say no more then 20hrs per turn PLEASE. Well the the people who have played PB know that it is actually longer then 20hrs. Timer stops while people load the game to take their turn so for example if we set it to 20hrs the real number comes to 23-24hrs.
I will be most happy with 16hr turns (With the delay comes to 18hrs)Comment

Yes she is. That is why I think that is if we go marathon, we need to jumpstart the thing.Originally posted by Beta

But I do think Cyber has a point, during peace time you could easily que up stuff for a 10 or so turns.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Having people not take their turn and count on que will leave the timer to run away thus having a very long turn. Of course if people are busy on vacation that works.during peace time you could easily que up stuff for a 10 or so turns
Team efford meaning people trying to take their turns ASAP will speed the whole game, especially in the beginning when its pretty slow.Comment

Ok I just spread the word on to Civ Fanatics

The idea sounds good, but I must say NO to it, generally during week can move at one time only during the day, with no guarantees I will have the time every day to do so due to other commitments and long distance trips, so I would probably act as a brake on a game that will go a long time anyway without thatComment

I don't get this, dosen't a turn happen every day regardless if players log in and play or not?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Well H it depends on what turn timer we set it. If it's a 20 or 24hrs timer yes the turn will advance after that time expires roughly every day.I don't get this, dosen't a turn happen every day regardless if players log in and play or not?
The point i was trying to make is that if all civs end their turn the game advances to the next turn even if there was say 10 hrs left for the timer to expire. If all end game progresses.Comment

Interesting didn't know that. But a lot of people are looking for something with a low time commitment. They may not turn as fast as you want.

Agreed. And then Toni will be on their case.Originally posted by Heraclitus

I think 24 hours, or 20 as Toni stated above, and if folks want to queue up their turn and let the max time run, then so be it. Say up front that it is OK for folks to miss a few turns.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment
