Some (newbie) question about CTP PBEM

[ZoboZeWarrior]

I'm interested by playing by email. Because IA is fun a the begin but quite boring ...

But I cannot stay on my computer 24h/day, 7 days/week (I'm not so much interested by to be fired from my job or slaughtered by my girlfriend, you know ...).

I would just ask :
1) How many turn take an average game (or how many time ?) ?
2) What's the average frequences of turns ?
3) Where to find players by email ?

Thanks ...

1) more than one year
2) less than 1 turn per day
3) here

I think Slamp is even to optimistic

Many players play several games in parallel to be sure to get one turn a day. I play 4 myself and many days go by that I do not receive one turn that day. Nonetheless it is fun.

The unwritten rule is that you play your turn within 24 hours of its arrival. Many do not make that but if you have a good playowner he will see to it that you do. If you do not the player before you will press "end" for you and forward the turn to the player next to you.

So, if you are able to generally play a turn within 24 hours, join us. You will have fun. If you often are not, never play a game with me

Neither 1 or 2 are cast iron. It is possible to play a PBEM from start to finish in 9 months, I've done it, and in a six or less Player Game you should get an average of a Turn every day, OK that might mean 36hrs.
