Maybe we should form a slow players group

[Alexander's Horse]

Not to change anyone's slow play habits but so they can play with fellow slow pokes

I think diety, DD, epik and AH should start a game, no one is allowed to quit

[Alexander's Horse]

AH?

They could call it the Slow Players League, stay out of other games, maybe link up with the PBEM crowd.

Everyone is happy

I mean, wandering around an enormous map tipping huts for 5 hours without meeting anyone isn't my idea of fun - but to each his won

[markusf]

last person awake wins!

Nothing better after a long days work than to come here for a good gut laugh.

Now come on......in DD's defence in doesn't take a lot of time in turns.........

[Alexander's Horse]

Really?

From Consul Deitus Dudius (50 B.C.): i must have slept thrru part wheere u pick research - now i am researching banking and I dont rremeber picking that

[Ming]

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has fallen asleep during a game. But for me, it was more like I passed out...

*maybe I shouldn't drink so much while we are playing*

[War4ever]

doesnt' remember picking research

[rah]

I always wondered if it would select a tech for you.
I worry about it sometimes when I'm taking a smoke break

[War4ever]

yes it will....it only take about 20-30 seconds if you dont move the tech choices around or use the goal path..happened to me when i was out of it .....ended up taking some dead end tech .....

[rah]

But wouldn't it have to go through 20 seconds for the notification that it's your turn and then 20 seconds for each city maint screen that pops up first?

RAH
I sometimes come back and notice it on a city screen maint. (and then i know I've been a bad boy by slowing the game down) It is rare though and early in the game when turns are flying through.

[War4ever]

well all i know is i have not hit the enter bar when my turn comes up , its gone through some/one/all the cities and then it picks the research.....

but your right for each city you go through you add more time....so draw your own conclusions

[rah]

Yep, the one turn I never go out for a smoke is when I know I'm going to be able to select Monarchy the next turn. That would suck to come back and find out you're researching Masonry.

RAH
Timing those early smoke breaks are tough since the turns are flying.

smoke indoors
