it can vary from month to month, president to president, and cabinet to cabinet.

if its the begining of the game, not much is going on, so the pres can play a lot of turns without asking for new orders. but later in the game things get tricky and more decisions need to be made.

some presidents may stretch the ministers' orders and play a few extra turns per round.

and some ministers' give really detailed, long ranging plans, and others don't have such detailed reports.

I say a minimum of 1 month or 20 turns what ever comes second.

[Wise Ass]

I voted 25 turns though I should have said a combination of 2 whatever comes last (four weeks or 25 turns).

Locutus,

quick question after reading Wise Ass's comment, did you mean with second (in the vote) whatever expires last?

Then I would have a choice .

The only problem, if this option wins we would have to have a new poll about the length?

Gilgamensch,
Yes, with whatever comes last I meant exactly what Wise Ass proposed.

But it doesn't realy matter as we seem to have an absolute majority voting in favour of a fixed time period, with the 1-month term being the most popular

No, you can't recast your vote, but in some cases I (as mod) can change people's votes for them. What did you vote and what did you want to vote?
