Quasi OT: who's in the most games?

AMF · #1 February 2nd, 2005, 02:23 PM

Ok...so here's a question: who's in the most games? Also...I wonder what the average number of games, as well as the mode, etc...is

I'll start: I'm in 9 games (but one I'm only the host, so I guess it's really 8 games)

Just curious, really...

I have been in as many as 18 at one time, but have trimmed that back to 7 at the moment.

I was in 25 at one point... Several were really slow or inactive for various reasons, but still... Down to 2 now.

I am finally tied with Fyron at 2 games!!

Figures are irrelevant: it is all about size. In the case of games anyway.

I was at most at fifteen games or so while being in high school, but oddly enough I am playing in fewer games now than I am in university (where I work twice as less). I am currently down to eight games, none of them too big, and I would still like to get out of a few more games.

Still, I would expect those monster Empires to be much more taxing than having slow-paced games only taking a couple of minutes per turn. One player claimed he needed seven hours to play his turn (Huletians in NGC5), with an Empire heavy on micromanaging, and from what I saw, he was about right. A few hours on a single game, every three days. *Shudders*

Size matters, huh Al?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Heh, I was waiting to see how much time would be needed before someone took that bait. Of course, I was merely talking about Space Empires, where size is quite important. I wouldn't have any other thought about this matter. *Coughs*

You can always count on me to bring the list straight down into the gutter...

5 games. I once was in 8 games, but i like to roleplay, so it took my too much time. Im in both Star Trek games, heavy roleplay. Then in Adamant Galactic Invasion which is on hold since a few days due to a update-error. Than im playing a quite cool Devnull mod game...then another adamant mod which is about to start...lastly a proportions game which is getting quite boring. Its mostly downloading one turn each week, opening it, closing it, uploading it.

All of the games im in a good position, apart from playing a minor race in the first star trek game. Still, all my empires take me several hours per week, due to managing and of course due to my roleplay-thingy
