Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [Organization Thread]

Looking at civstats Celts seem to have been able to take 90% of their turns. Not counting 4 of July.

there is no reason we can't do 12 hr turns. if its worked so far it will keep working.

[The Capo]

I'm not demanding we have 12 hour turns, but I am saying if it has worked so far there's no reason it shouldn't continue to work. Its not like you're going to spend a SERIOUSLY long amount of time on one single turn.

[OzzyKP]

I can speak up myself and say that I can't check in more than once a day. Sometimes not even that often.

It isn't about spending a lot of time, it is about having the time and ability to check in on your computer twice a day.

If it's not possible to do it for one of us, we should'nt do it.

But as soon as Ozzy posts at 'poly more then twice a day we'll revert to a 12h timer immediately

[Pitboss Vikings]

i am happy to go with whatever ozzy needs to ensure he is on every turn

[Pitboss Japan]

This is BS why stop for one player. If he had been able to play with the 12 hr timer till now then he can continue with the 12 hr. I would see if more then half of us had a problem with it but if only less then one has a problem then too bad. We should continue on the way we are its already boring enough with only 12 hr timer any less and I might as well hang myself just to pass the time away.

[Robert]

Because we agreed upon that before we started the game.

[Pitboss Japan]

we agreed on alot of things that we just keep throwing to the side so why not do the same with this? i say if the majority wishes to keep 12hr turns going then we keep it if not then i'll stut up and i you wont hear a word from me.

[Pinchak]

24 hour timer.

And I speak as a player who could do 2 turns a day (under normal circumstances).

This assures everyone gets to play their turn.

I wouldn't be too concerned about trying to get the turn to end early by everyone playing their turn. With 18 players this is going to be a rare occurrence.

[Pitboss Japan]

Waiting for everyone takes too long. I myself don’t play every turn nor do I want to. It already takes forever to make something or even to move. If 24 hrs is what will eventually go to then all I ask is for another 100 turns just to keep things moving after that I will not complain at all

[OzzyKP]

I wouldn't be opposed to keeping 12 (or like 14-16) for a bit longer. But not for another 100 turns. But with the goal that we switch to 24 (ish) hour turns soon.

[The Capo]

Yeah, I really don't want to play this game for TWO YEARS. Its kind of boring the way it is right now, and if the wait time gets doubled I think the game will suffer rather than benefit (as seems to be the popular logic). But its up to the majority, of course.

I think the 24 hour thing should occur at least 100 turns from now, if we should even implement it.

[Pitboss Vikings]

seeing the 24hr timer is only a max i dont see an issue switching to it whenever we can, becasue if everyone plays their turn when they can then the turn will end and start a new one. at least with a 24 hr timer any real life issues should mean you may only miss one turn s day. but if things are good we may still get two turns in a day if we all check frequently.

remeber the timer is only max time not the set time
