"Hey uhh... President, can I see what it feels like to click Move and select a sector? Ive done it before and all, but you know, I'd like to do it for real on the game all 6 of us are watching you play."

*lmao* Gawd, this sounds slower than Proportions and more abstract than "Magic Mod SEIV: Spaceships meet Spells and Staves"

Not my cup of tea, can't imagine how one person (let alone 5 or 6) could have the patience to put up with that crap. But it is a strange and rather unique idea...

i think you're missing the point here, this isn't about who actually get's to play to game, but to work together and sort of roleplay as one empire.
This shouldn't involve just 5 or 6 players, but more like 50+.
What would take the most time, and also be intersting would be the debates on what to do next, those things *could* take a few days before even a turn is played, and playing the turn would only take a few minutes.
And this isn't really a unique idea anymore, there are games like this going on for a while now for other games.
