Finally - what is considered "default" for Turn Duration?

This is something I have intentionally left alone. I think what most people will find, especially those with little one-on-one experience, is that the games go very fast. Simply by logging onto PBW once a day you can manage two turns a day. Since the turn should process once you upload a turn and then you can do another turn. Gandalph and I started on Saturday and we have already played 30 turns. I wouldn't expect everyone to be able to do that of course.
Another thing you will notice is that when you know the game is waiting on you and you alone, it tends to focus you and make you be more regular with the turns. In a ten or 15 player game the incentive to get your turn in quickly really isn't there because you will likely have to wait on a couple other people anyway.
As long as neither player has simply wandered off the speed of the games shouldn't be a tremendous problem. I don't think we need to mandate it. I would be happy saying the default is after Last player uploads and then just have a talk with anybody that appears to be abusing that.
