We have been waiting since Sunday for him, and he does not respond to emails or PMs. Maybe he's on a holiday or something, but I think it's time to host...
Sorry Agrajag!

Don't forget to update to 3.06! I hosted with with 3.06.

I know this game is supposed to be "casual" and all that, but I think that 48 hours is more than enough time for someone to look at their turn, think about it, and take it. If people need more time than that they should PM or email you. I think that you should just host every 48 hours unless you hear from someone.

I concur!

Usually some scaling effect is a good idea, where players get more and more time to play their turns ....

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

I have to agree with johnarryn on this one. Having to wait almost a week, and this at turn 4, is too much. If it continues at this pace, people will loose interest in the game. And as the game progresses, slack just tends to augment.

So I suggest something along these lines:

- Give 48 hrs time. If everybody has sent their turn host.
- At the end of this time, post here the names of nations that have not sent their turn. Wait 24 hrs.
- If no justification/request for delay/a sign of life is given until the end of these extra 24 hrs, go ahead and host.


Best,

I find that this game has been going veeeery slow so far. Shouldn't be this slow so early, when it takes 2 minutes max to do your turn.

Told ya so!

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

I think I like Sorlakind's idea!
So we try to keep up the speed some more, while still allowing for 'casualness', but without keeping people in the dark. It was quite slow indeed for such short & easy turns!

Currently 14/16 turns handed in.
Waiting for Pythium and Oceania.

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

I got my turn in now.

The only reason I hadn't subitted it earlier was since the last turn was so slow, it felt like we had more time to think.

Only Oceania left now.
