How can a game run that long without coming to some type of conclusion? Is this a one turn per week type of game, or have the players sorta agreed to "play nice" with eachother? In the games I've been in, once a guy gets pretty large, the game sorta goes to another phase where it resolves itself: either the big guy is killed by the smaller guys uniting, resulting in the smaller ones dividing up the spoils (and usually giving them the spur to go for broke themselves) or the big guy gets so powerful that nobody can stop em. How is it that a PBW game has gone on for so long?

Dedicated hard core players and the Propotions Mod = LONG GAME. Normal good games go at least a year. Really good games go between a year and two years. And superb games go longer than two years. Excellent games go longer than three years.

I have yet to play a good game that has NOT gone a year. Those game are the best... Although I just surrendered in QOC game after a year.... I could have kept going but I was in last place being so far behind the second to last player by twice his score that to continue, especially with the limited time I have, was the better thing to do.

When you get into a good game, it just feels good to play. Especially when you start to click with your allies and such. The first 12hr onslought game was one such game, and so was the SSFF II game with CNC, Gandolph, Tnarg, and so on.
