"Randomness is Good" turn tracking thread

re-sent. I think I saved it without ending turn last time.

here's an idea... are you all up for another, in parallel to this one? (maybe not as random this time, and with 3 colpods)

I fear that you will have to go without me on this one.
After coming back from UK I thought for one time to completely stop playing video games, but after some more thought decided to continue at least this one.
I will not start another game unless it will be played a the rate of less than 1-2 turn per weeks, or if this game slows down to that pace.

This is in order to not to spend more than 2 hours per week on video games. I already spent too much time on them in the last 5 years, and should rather direct my time and energy into the real life rather than a more attractive virtual one.
At least with >2 player PBEM unless playing too much games at once you cannot get "hooked up" in playing 8 hours per day or worse...

I can undestand where you are coming from-- but a game at this still early stage still involves only about 15 minuets a turn for me. As the Hive its actually pretty easy since there is never ANY agonizing over SE selections

to the cyborgs. i don't mind playing only 2-3 turns a week. 1 turn is a bit slow

btw. i wish my turns would take 15 minutes... more like 3 right now

[bluetemplar]

It seem to me that the first turns still need a very careful planning since the middle game depend on the choices made in the early game.
I think I spend on average 3 min on most of the turns, but every 3-5-10 turns I still have to do a general assessment of the situation which takes me from 30 min to 2 hours!

Well as the Hive, I do tend to have more formers than most people . . ..

I like our current pace for now . . . but once we get to the time when turns routinely take an hour, muti-turn days will be impossible for me-- I find that most games with interested players will continue reasonably well but that everyone will be happy to see the rate slow a little as we will all be facing longer turns

Ahhh-- I would never have a 2 hour turn at this stage but then again, I never have a 3 minute turn either. I find that once I move my units and check all my bases and fiddle with the SE sliders, its 10 minutes minimum even at this early stage.
