To refresh memories this is from the original thread, 1st post, and will be followed.

Speed: 24 hours per host for the first 18 turns moving to 48 hours per host until around turn 70+ in which it moves to 72.

This speed was also used for the 1st Big Game, which I thought moved at a pretty good pace. Remember, this game will only break here and there for holidays, it will not break for individual personal issues of various players, who will have to find subs.

I am unaware of any major holidays after July 4th until Thanksgiving, except maybe Labor Day. But given the world wide participation in this game, I am open to suggestions and certainly will not make fun of any holiday suggestions-however obscure they may seem to us Americans.
