Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
Valandil, you'll have to check your in-game messages when the turn hosts.

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
Well has it not been 36 hours by now? I too would be more strict if I were hosting...

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
From CJ's email:

seej said:
... I did want to propose a 28 hour deadline from when the turns are sent out. Would you all be amenable to that? This is to say, I run the turns "at my earliest convenience" after 28 hours from when I sent them out.
If that happens and someone didn't submit a turn, we would just run without them and it should just give them no orders for the turn right? We wouldnt make people AI unless they actually dropped.

I'm in favor of any kind of deadline policy. More specifically, I'm thinking that simply running the turns at the same time every evening might be easier than 28hrs, but I'm fine either way. Looking at a few of the games PashaDawg has hosted, he seems to have the sensible policy of going to hosting 3 times/week as the game progresses - I know that it does take quite a while for me to do a turn in the later game.
Now if someone sends a CJ an email asking for a postponement, being flexible in this case makes perfect sense - but without that email I say host, and let 'em go stale!

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
I would be amenable for a 24 hour hour run deadline unless the player emails me with a specific request for more time. I will continue to send reminder emails to the laggers (the last two-three people with outstanding turns).
Definitely as the game progresses a 24 hours deadline can be adjusted for more time etc.

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
I think seej's idea is good. I'm fine with a 24 hour deadline, even later in the game.

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
I am fine with that too. 24 hour deadline for the early game, more later if needed. I think we should then all know at what time exactly the deadline is. For example if 9 PM is a good time for Seej to process turns (e.g. after his work/school & dinner) then we can all bear that in mind. Seej can you give us a time, and make sure to tell us what timezone you are in ?

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
I am in eastern standard time, and I would prefer something along the lines of midnight my time.
