  • 24 hour games, a new idea for Multiplayer

    Many diplo games are a good attempt to get longer games, but not always do they work, because of the long time there is between sessions.

    Why not play 1 session of 24 hours?

    I thought we could try this the following way without getting insomniatic. We could make teams with players of very different time zones, say 3 or 4 hours in between. Then you get teams of 6 to 8 players that can play 24 hours a day forever!

    The team players take over for eachother after 3 or 4 hours of playing. If you start at 6 pm, then everyone in your team will start at 6 pm and end at 9 or 10 pm, Perfect!

    The idea is that we now play team against team. If we have good teams, the game does not have to be saved ever and can end in 1 session. If a game is finished, a new can start immediatly.

    In theory you can get home from work and take over a civ and stop at 9 or 10 EVERY DAY.

    Any fanatics up to try this? I am in GMT +1, i could use team mates between GMT +4 and GMT -3

    You have to love the concept... great idea

    However, considering it's almost impossible to get people to even show up on time for a scheduled game... I can only wish you the best of luck
    Keep on Civin'

      No way, Woke.

      Like Der Mingle said, it's hard to get people to show for scheduled games, and you think you can find successors?

      Can't see that happening, sorry.

        Nice, scepticism.

        In the meanwhile i have found a team player: Jhorsburgh.

        Our current time scheme in GMT 0 is as following

        woke24 5pm - 11 pm (6-12pm GMT +1)
        Slowwhand 11pm -3.30 am (6-10.30pm GMT-5)
        Dylan Baker 3.30-6.30am (10.30pm- 1.30am GMT -5)
        Jhorsburgh 6.30 am- 9.30 am (0.30-3.30am GMT -6)
        Rasputing 9.30am- 1 pm (6.30-10.00pm GMT +9)

        ??????? 1pm-5pm

        Who more is interested to join the team? We only need 1 more player to complete this team!

        Preferably a player from GMT +4,+5 or +6.

            slowwhand is GMT -6 and he plays at 6 pm, so he can fit between me and jhorsburgh.

            rasputin, you would fit perfectly after Jhorsburgh, do you want in the team? how long can you play?

              This is a great idea. It should be done than for no other reason then to say it was done.

              I'm EST but have a flexible weekday scehdule, if you need another.

                    Why dont you try to make your own team then war4ever? with 1 team, we cant play a game. the idea is to play against other teams!

                      Honestly, the late shift (10 pm to 2 am eastern time) sounds all right to me. But it all depends on the night... Are you looking to do this this coming week?

                        It would also be interesting to follow up Slowwhand. Our styles contrast just a tad....

                          we can only start playing, once there form other teams to play against. lets wait for that.

                            We could still use someone in our team from either:

                            -Middle/east Russia
                            -India
                            -middle east
                            -West China
