What time frame should an Emperor have to play?

[Paddy]

so how long?

[Paddy]

ok, with the amount of turns, we have discussed that each Emperor gets 5 turns to play in one hit, before handing over the throne,

so how long do the get to play their turn?

[McMeadows]

1.5 days of playing and 1.5 days of discussion was not an option so I chose 1 day. I'd go with 2 as well and 2 days of discussion. I'd like to keep the game at the highest speed possible.

[Paddy]

ahhh

do you not think that that is a tad fast for allowing people to get together and chat about issues

this is a different game to pbem afterall

[Modo44]

I say 5 days. 1 day is way to short and 3 days would probably be just a little too fast if a bigger discussion comes up.

[Paddy]

well I say 7 days

this allows each Emperor, and the Senate the privilige of a weekend for all to be played, and all discussed

ok, some will knock their 5 turns over quickly

[McMeadows]

I'd like to play more to the side of the succession game we're allready playing. Allthough Cube is now taking quite some time, I like(d) the game pace. With all the emperors you'd only have little play time available. All the extra time you have, can be spend on advising.

[Paddy]

and welcome great man

[ormuzd]

7 days is reasonable period
and I don't think everyone should wait until his week is over to play the turns

[Modo44]

The way I understand it, it will not be required to wait with playing. It is more a safety net, so that being away wouldn't kick a player out of the game. And players like myself will surely bust the 5 turns in no time, once the discussion is done.

[Paddy]

Ormuzd,
good to see you here


Modo,
indeed you have the zest and tenacity of ten bears
stay strong in your convictions, and keep your swords nearby for the wars we will fight against the many ai foes

What I don't have is a 8AM-3PM kind of job. That helps plan my time as I see fit. Nobody said I can't take a break from translating, when a new save arrives.

Aye, they shall feel my wrath.

I'm thinking once it gets going 7 days.

Now the first few emperors should take considerly less time.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

7 days seems to be sensible to me
