[RobWorham]

The options are :

Less than 24 hours
24 hours (1 day) - 7 turns a week minimum
48 hours (2 days) - 3.5 turns a week minimum
72 hours (3 days) - 2.3 turns a week minimum
84 hours (3,5 days) - 2 turns a week minimum
More than 84 hours

THIS POLL CLOSES IN 4 DAYS FROM NOW!!!!

As the first poll vote was somewhat diluted with non team leaders voting we shall proceed with voting by PM.
Could all teams gather their votes in their private forums and keep them to themselves for the time being.
Once I have posted The Rabbits vote in this public thread, could all team leaders please send their teams decision to me by PM.
Once I have received all team votes, or the vote period has expired, I will post the submitted team votes as quotes so all can see that everything is above board and legitimate.

Team leaders, please gather your teamies in your private forums and decide what pitboss turn time duration you would like to play with.

Please remember that the map will be reviewed and tweaked by a human mapmaker before we get to play on it so all will be as fair and interesting as possible.......

I will only accept team votes by PM from the following people, unless advised by them to the contrary:

Gathering Storm : Krill
Imperio : X_MiTH_X
PAL : Whip[lash
Realms Beyond : Swiss Pauli
Team Banana : Will
Templars : Beta
The Rabbits of Caerbannog : RobWorham

Team leaders, please organise your team votes in your private forums as quickly and efficiently as possible.

THIS POLL CLOSES IN 4 DAYS FROM NOW!!!!

[RobWorham]

I will endeavour to post The Rabbits vote within 2 days from now, so all other team leaders have a further 2 days to submit your team votes to me via PM........

Once I have posted our team choice, please PM your team choice to me, or if you aren't worried about disclosing your vote before other teams, then post it here for all to see.

Once I have all team choices by PM, or they have been publicly posted, or the vote timer has run out; I will post quotes of the submitted PM's for all to see, and hopefully we will have a decision on this setting........

Cheers!!

Can the max time start at one setting and then later on say when the first player reaches the Industrial Era be extended by 24 hours?

[RobWorham]

It could be, but I think we should define, before the game starts, when the turn timer duration comes up for re-vote.

As an example, say 2000BC, 1AD, 1000AD, 1500AD, 1750AD, 1900AD, 2000AD.....

I use the above examples as only a very rough guide.....

[Zeviz]

Our team also seems favorable to the idea of changing timer duration. We haven't yet talked about a cutoff date, but it makes sence that first moves by an exploring warrior require much less discussion and effort than managing a 20-city empire at war.

I have received Templars preference for this setting via PM.

Instead of planning/scheduling several re-votes about turn speed, why not simply allow a majority of the teams to slow down (or speed up) the game whenever the majority decides?

Example - We start off with 24 hour turns (unrealistic I think, but for the sake of argument....). Each team leader can submit a vote for slowing down turns to the moderator. When a majority (4 of 7 teams, looks like) have voted for slower turns, change the Pitboss setting.

Each team would have a vote, which it could change at any time...
1. I like the turn speed the way it is.
2. I want the turn speed to be faster. (twiddle thumbs)
3. I want the turn speed to be slower. (TOO..MUCH..STUFF)

Majority rules.

This is the maximum time per turn. The Rabbits fully expect to play their turns within 48 hours, or even 24 hours at the start of the game......

Actually if the server has problems that we run on, we might even see some people die before the game is finished then.

PAL would like to see the timer limited to no more than 24 hours.

Turn Timer:

48 hours, with possible consideration of a switch to 72 when the first civ hits the industrial era.

Hi Rob,

Team RB votes for:

24hr turn timer, but we'd like this topic to be reconsidered regularly (every 50 turns, say) whatever the outcome of the vote.

Cheers,

Swiss
