Or it can not. In TCP games you spend a lot of time waiting for other players to finish their turns anyway. PBW games, you don't exactly have that, and games can go just as fast as TCP assuming everyone stays at their computer and plays.

OTOH, PBW games quite easily can stretch over months, or more. But when you have 20 players involved, that's understandable, and the logistics of getting them all in one place for a TCP game would be..difficult to say the least.
