Slow Boat to T'ien Ch'i

[Shamash]

Thanks, got it!

May I suggest that whoever is last in sending his/her 2h file every turn sould wait those 5 minutes, get the new turn and do his/her next turn and send that as well? (Unless s/he is time pressed of course.)

This is not my idea but I have seen it floating around a lot and I happen to think tht it's a good idea for speeding up the game a bit.

What do you think?

[Agema]

Sounds like a good idea.

[Gregstrom]

I'd often end up doing that anyway, I think. It's a good idea.

[Aethyr]

I agree; I'll try to do this as well.

[Dedas]

Could we perhaps speed this game up a bit? The time limit as of now is almost ridiculously long for start game.

[Gregstrom]

I had hoped it would start a bit quicker than this myself...

That said, this was started explicitly as a game for those who couldn't guarantee a fast turnaround (due to children under 3, pregnant partners, unreliable major national broadband providers <gnashes teeth>, whatever).

Therefore, I feel I can only alter turn generation on a unanimous vote from the players.

Post votes on this thread, saying what speed you can commit to putting in turns (24h, 48h or 72h, for example). If you need things to stay the way they are, please say so.

I will reset the host time to the highest agreed time interval.

To set the ball rolling, I can currently guarantee turns from myself every 48 hours.

[Dedas]

I think 48h are more than enough for the first 15 turns in a very slow game like this. I mean. doing your turn at this stage won't take you more than 5 minutes at most. Then we could change to 72h. My 2 cents.

Neifelheim is going to stale for what appears to be the second time in a row. Can we please, please AI him?

[Agema]

We should give him until the time limit. It is a slow boat to T'ien Ch'i, after all.

But otherwise, I'd rather it were the in-game mages who grew old, caught afflictions and died before the end of the game rather than the real-life me.
