Default Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?

It'll be on what's called 24 hour quickhost. This means that the turn will host 24 hours after the previous hosting _or_ when all turns are in, whichever is sooner. With a keen group of players it can therefore go significantly faster than 1/day to start with.

Nevertheless, when the game starts you'll probably wish it was going faster, as it's really exciting. Unfortunately you just patience really. After 20 or so turns 1/day will probably feel about right, then eventually when the turns get really long a 48 hour timer might be better (I'm not a big fan of 72 hour turns as I forget what I'm doing).

One thing to avoid is joining several games at once because each turn is so quick to start with - 50 turns down the line you'll be regretting it! I'd recommend 2 or 3 games as an upper limit, and it's best to stagger when you start them.

If you really fancy quick games, I believe there's an IRC channel where people organize blitzes - I think it's fairly busy and you should probably be able to get a game going. Details in a sticky at the top of this forum I think.
