I just guessed at the Last one -- turns out it all my answers were typical. I could play a dozen games, but when consider a dialup ISP may be slow, you work late, want to be out all weekend, even one can be a burden.

I find that when the diplomacy aspects are more interesting, the game turns take more time. Otherwise, the time per turn doesn't need to be that long...Greybeard

Sorry, man. It was looking a little too busy with the current scaling. I wanted more options, but I was worried it would get too cumbersome and people wouldn't answer them all.

Considering over thirty people have answered this one, I probably could have got more resolution.

Next time, Gadget, next time.

Not many people selected 17+ though, so I guess it is not that big a deal.

Eh, I haven't done that many games...
I've just died in Donnerkreig, still in Last place in Newbies 101, and totally messed up making my empire in Big Game Noobs Wanted, and I didn't notice until turn 6. (Semi-long story, but I don't want to explain it...)

go on mikeyman, its kinda funny

I have 4 games I am in and have started up another...
I am not haveing to much problems keeping track of them so far, mind you I dont have to many systems and planets in any of them yet, though I totaly agree with Greybeard, diplomacy takes the longest by far.

Diplomacy can be done at work. Well, for some of us anyway.
