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.

Right now I am playing 14 and running 4.

Record play was 22 by me... It was too much...

( I think that 8 games is good if there at a 2 day clip plus a koth game )

I enjoy running games. And making maps for people.

I'm pretty sure Fyron beat that mark. I think he at least was in 23 at the time. He'll have to let us know for sure but that's what I seem to recall hearing.

so, how do you get through the turns fast? i normally take 2 to 30 minutes from start to 'i know i can win', which is when i normally get bored and quit. but, the only times i visit all my planets in one turn is when i get computers 3. the rest of the time, if it doesn't come up as a subject in the log or a triangle on the map i ignore it.

I was in 26 games at one point. They weren't all active games, but most were.

I have cut back recently though, mostly do to the fact that se4 has gotten repetitive.

you could always make a util to randomly change component and facil values while your playing.
