Default Re: PBW question - how many turns per day?

The amount of turns varies with player number. However I have started and completed a number of games already. and the best pace seems to be about 1 turn a day. But an alert host can speed it up by running the turns a bit faster. And weekends seem to help speed the games up further. I think it is best to have several games going at once. then it seems as if you are doing several turns a day. 6 committed players seems to be the best mix.

I'm only in one game at PBW right now, Quikngruvn's Ay Chihuahua, which I notice he didn't have the BALLS to play in himself

It's been frustratingly slow. We have not even averaged one turn per day. But this follows what the other posters have said; we started with 8 players, although we are now down to 6, and soon to be 5 (whimper!).

And who the players are, and how early in the game it is. My game that did four turns in one day had eight humans and four AIs at start, and IIRC, the four-turn day was within the first two game-years.
