During the round robin, this shouldn't be a problem, as everyone will be player 2 a nearly equal number of times. If people were that worried about it, we could double up on the games; they'll all be at the same time.
The plan is to use SE4 Gold for the second round, where this would be more of a problem.

What kind of turn frequency are you thinking? Even two turns a day will take some time to finish a game, even with a smaller universe.
Two turns a day might be possible for some people, and I wouldn't expect the game to take longer than 150 turns--and some games will likely end in surrender before that. Thus, I expect the first round to Last about four months.
Note that because there are only two players per game, each player can send in a turn, wait for the turn to process, and send in a second turn immediately following. This will keep games moving along at a solid pace. Are you interested?
