Default Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players

From CJ's email:

... 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!
