Default Re: MP online game with fast turns

Both pbem and network can go quickly due to quickhost (to my knowledge all games are on quickhost so 24hr quickhost doesn't necessarily mean a turn every 24 hours, as soon as all the turns go in a new turn is generated). However, on a network turns would be done/generated quicker since players wouldn't have to send their turn via email, wait for llamaserver to make a new turn then shoot it back out. The main issue is finding players willing to sit down and play in that specific time slot. If you can, then it will go quickly.

As I already mentioned "Game time from 7.00 till 16.00 (GMT). Monday to Friday." Weekend is not suitable for me. So if someone is OK with that period and could spend 2-3 hours every day, then sign in. If we get min 4-6 players, that will be able to play at the same time, then game will start. And of course IRC is "must have" for fast game

Deonmag, the problem with your hours is that's either working hours in Europe or too early in America, so I doubt you'll find many people who have tims to play during these periods. Same kind of game on evenings would be more workable.
