Amhazair has been holding us up for the last day. He gets the turtle prize this turn.

Thanks for the honor..

The cause is a combination of work, having turned my attention to another MP where "the end-game war to and all wars" has broken out, and simply not being in any rush in this game since I thought everyone wanted a slow-paced game, even in the beginning. (I've seen some other people taking their time on other turns too). I'll see if I can speed up a bit though, since it seems to be bothering you. (I had no idea everyone else had played their turn already either btw)

No worries, mate. These early turns are pretty easy, though.

I originally wanted a 72h game precisely to accommodate busy players. I'm happy with the pace, though obviously it's great if people can get their turns in early.

I originally only signed up for this especially because of the lenient 72h timer. Trust me, after turn 25 to 30 you will really need that time for preparation of your turns. Since I am currently in Italy for a few weeks with limited access to the internet, have lots of work in front of me, and catched a cold aswell (damn!), I am quite happy with the timer. I think I had my turn in just some hours after the last turn hosted and I was already the second-last person to upload the turn. Currently waiting on Sauromatia/Dedas.

The turtle prize is just a friendly reminder for people to try to get these early turns done quickly if they can. It is all meant in good fun. There is no sense of rush here. It's a funny prize and a reminder for people to try to attend to these early turns as soon as they can since they usually only take a few minutes. The turtle prize gets awarded to whoever takes a day or so longer than anyone else to do their turn.

So far, that's one turtle prize for me, one for amhazair and one for dedas. hehehe good times

After the game is over we could have 'old-turtle pals' get-together reunions and stuff, where everyone drinks too much beer and gets sentimental over old times. Only for turtles of course...

lmao!

Sure, sounds good, only don't serve any turtle soup at the reunions. That's cannibalism!
