About timezones.
In a 20 player game it isn't timezones that slows the turns up.
The majority of the players in the game are from US and canade, some from europe.
most submit within 24 hours, some with 48 hours and 1-3 within 72 hours. There are no 72 hour timezone differencess!

There is no penalty involved in this turn submision league except some shame perhaps.
When 18 players wait for 48~24 hours for two players turn after turn I want them to get some signal of it, this is that signal.
In NGC2 we had nearly no turns without sybmissions, most turns run within 24 hours, this was so even before we got the suspected cheating period that might explain some fast cluster submitters...

I've played in only 6 PBW games, some of them I've been alone in europe, most US players (I know you have timezone differences aswell).
I rarely end up submitting Last, and if I do I make sure that I run the turn directly and submit first the next turn. I do not submit Last one turn and then wait until there is one hour before the next deadline to submit my next turn, when I easily can become the first to submit the turn as I'm the only one who knows with a certainty that the next turn will be sent out within 5 minutes!

I can't change the rules mid-game, but I must say that I think waiting 70 hours each turn before submitting, being Last each turn, is not to my liking.
