Big New Aussie Game tonight:)

How are we looking for a session on Tuesday night from 9pm?

I'm really enjoying watching Deity righteously rip into the makeo/finbar alliance

Don't worry Hydey, he's probably hopeless with a mower.

[finbar]

I could think of nothing more humiliating than being caught in possession of a mower.

I think we need to put a time limit on turns. Can we do this midgame?

I know people have a lot to do when at war but getting through only a handful of turns in a 2 hour session is really unacceptable. I need to make the best use of the limited time I have to play. I'm sure others have similar interests and I'm not blaming anyone.

A five minute limit would be acceptable to me. At the current rate we will finish this game some time in 2003, and we haven't even got into the modern period yet. Any other views?

[iadkins]

I totally disagree
I think that is unfair
I play so many games where I patiently wait while others fight wars and I don't complain
You can't measure the fun in a game by the nimber of turns. So much can happen in one turn. And it all evens out.
Earlier on in this game my turns were really quick when finbar and makeo were trading - not even war!

Please...
NO time limit.

Deity, last night was excessive. I'm not blaming you but if chess players can do it, so can we. I can't imagine what those having long turns were doing.

It could be worse!!!! I could be a writer........................no;:"'!? to be a writer I would need 98% of my brain removed.

[hydey]

Time limits would not worry me although I do not agree with them. They are something that should be agreed upon before you start the game.

Would need? Mmmm. Methinks you didn't notice it being removed.

You all know I'm not in the habit of complaining about the length of people's turns and I don't intend to start now. Nor do I wish to be dogmatic about turn length - if people need extra time they should have it, without the need to explain why. But it seems to me it is so hard just to find times that suit 5 players, and it is a very enjoyable game, that we should make an effort somehow on turn length. Last night for example, all I had to move around was some settlers and 2 friggin ships. My turns were over for the most part in 2 minutes. Then we had turns going on for what seemed like half an hour. Can you see my problem? Can someone suggest a solution?

And no, I name no names, I don't find looking at the maps of others between turns an interesting way to pass the time.
