I would be willing to play in this game if we do all 6 at once, that way it will not be such a long commitment.

Yeah that was part of my thinking too evil homer. But 3 of the players have indicated 2 games max.

Comments anyone?

PS In the interests of starting earlier, it looks as if Jarrko will replace Frozen, pending comments.

If we play them similtaniously we are looking at a commitment of 3-4 months. If we play 2 at a time we are most likely looking at a 9-12 month commitment. No way that all people will stick around that long. Also people that get killed off early will they show up 3 months later for next round ? I doubt it.

All true.

I also do believe that the first 10 turns really could be done in a day, for all 6 games.

I rarely take more than 10-15 minutes for the first few turns. Even turn7-10... maybe 30. 30x6 = 3 hours.

So the first 10 turns = 10 days, 2nd = 20 days. 3rd = 30 days, 4th= 40 days, exciting action packed conclusion = 50 days.

150 days... 5 months.. I'm guessing.

But, whats more I figure that in some of the games, you are going to be getting trashed, just fighting to save 1 vp... so those turns will be short.

And lastly no diplomacy, no trading, no contact. No discussion. Its the honor system, but that ought to cut down game lengths as well.

But, lets hear what people say!

When you say it that way, It sounds like 6 at a time wouldn't be too bad.

Re: Tournament of Champions! 1 More needed
 

Well, put it like that, 6 at same time would not be too horrible I guess. *However*, I for one would need quite a long time to design the pretenders for each nation, and I am not talking just a weekend for all six. I usually ponder pretender design for several days even for one game, not to mention how much I would need for *six* pretenders needed to be designed at the same go!

I am very sorry but I think I would be asking for extensions and slowing the games down. I was just informed that we would also (besides the regular games out of town) be going to the Caymans to play Rugby for 10 days (tough job huh).

With that in mind there is no way I can take on a game that I would owe the other players my full attention, so I will be bowing out....sorry.

Why dont you stagger the games so that you only have a couple running at a time? So, basically, you just start a new game every 15 turns or so.

Game 1 goes to turn 15 -> Start game 2
Game 1 goes to turn 30 -> Start game 3
Game 1 ends at turn 50 -> Stop game 1, Start game 4
etc

That way, you always have a game in different stages. One game will be early-game period (with low time requirements), the next mid-game, and the last late-game (high time requirements). Hopefully it should all even out, timewise.
