Default How many SEIV games is enough?

Ok, I have had the game for about 2 months now and I am in 5 PBW games and 1 solo game (though the solo game does not hold my attention very long, something about not being able to re-do a turn if I make a mistake). And you know what? It aint enough!!! I can't wait till the next turn!!! I check the site "just incase" a turn is up.

Heck, I COULD do other things, but I don't wanna!!! I want my game fix and I want it NOW

So, how many games at the same time will I need to get into so I have that constant fix? Or should I look for a 12 step program now

A step step program is not enough for you. You are beyond any help
Naaah, as long as you enjoy yourself. But 5 games at a time seems enough to me though. Anymore would make the games more like fastfood. Now you still maintain the depth and uniqueness of every games. This is one of the things i like about SEIV: every game feels different.

When you get to the point that you feel pressured to get the turn in, then drop one game (NO don't just withdraw!) and you will be perfect!

Truthfully you will get radically different numbers from Warlord Ragnorak than from me. Rags gets max fum playing many games quickly; I get max fun playing a few games perfectly!

Somethine wrong with the amount of games I play?! No, I'm only in 13 PBW games at the moment; although 1 is about to wrap up. I can play a large empire in about 20 minutes or less, while alot of players take 2 or 3 hours to do those same turns. Although I like to think that I don't miss out on much more, I still do ALOT of micromanaging, I just don't check every planet every turn. I just found the way to make it all go fast is all...

I think the Fyron guy holds the record for the most games at one time. He made a thread about it a while back, but I forget how many games he was actually in at the time. Somthing like 20.
