I've got to say, with such a large team, spread over so many time zones, that I think 72 hours may well be the way to go......

I'll withhold my vote pending more opinions though.....

[Nugog]

What map size do we have?

Alot depends on this.

However - as we are a much varied team - and many of us are not used to "playing" with each other - I think longer turns are better for following a more democratic style.

As such I voted 72 hours - but could happily go with longer terms.

[Nugog]

The thing to remember with the turn timer is that it is a maximum length of turn - not the mandated/set length of the turn.

If all teams finish their turns before the timer runs out - then the timer clicks over anyway, and a new turn begins.


I also know there has been some suggestion of a mod that will allow us to change the timer length during the game.

Now - I for one just shudder at the thought of those conversations about when it should be changed and what too.

Keep it a nice long timer IMO.

All confirmed map settings are highlighted in bold in post #1

But to answer your question, we have a Standard map size.

Voted 72

[Chuckman]

I concur. 72 hours should provide the necessary time during the more complicated phases of the game to conduct analysis and discussion.

[Methos]

I've never played pitboss, so I'm not sure. I'll wait for discussion.

Which is why I think we need 72 hours.....

We've got an active team, lets keep it that way by letting everyone voice their opinions, and let discussion go back and forth before we have to play each turn.........

[GeoModder]

By the time a turn needs lots more time to decide on things, half the team will be AWOL anyway.
48 hours I say!

[Nugog]

48 hours is the timer length in the Warlords game.

It is hard enough getting the opinions and agreeance of 5 players, who know each other pretty well, who live in 4 timezones.

72 would be better.

I'll be happy with 48 or 72 hours.

Best regards,

I voted 72 because I would still get to participate even if work gets in the way.

And that is the advantage of a longe timer.

[RobWorham]

The Rabbits have voted :

72 hours (3 days) - 2.3 turns a week minimum

in the public team leader poll.....
