I must be very bad dominions player, but I've never understood how it may take more than 30 minutes to make a turn even in lategame, unless you are micromanaging every single piece of gold and chaff. And even if you do, that 2% additional efficiency you get come with -50% of interest for me — it's not only extremely boring to wait for another 27 hours, but it also consumes significantly more time, cause I have to remember what the hell I was planning 2 days ago. And, as for me, it's much better to lose an interesting game, than to win a boring snail-speed one.
So my vote goes for (B). Btw, isn't it logical to delay the next turn for voting, not the current one?

In the late game, when you have many territories, and MANY mages, and are scripting multiple large scale battles, potentially with a communion here or there. When you are examining enemy SCs to determine potential weak points, and trying to gear yours to specifically exploit your enemy, while leaving minimal vulnerabilities. When you are managing your finite gem income to get maximal effect, because with some gem types you are burning through a surplus that you need to plan for the depletion of, or you are saving some to snag large summons or a global.

Oh yeah, a very complicated turn simply cannot be done in 30 minutes, unless you are already accepting defeat.

Not that we are that late game, or that anyone is that large in this game - but some people just can't reliably sit down every single day to run Dominions turns, unless they're the 5 minute variety at the start.

Just to clarify, its not that the empire is so large (though it is getting there) it's that my 7 month old is teething, and it's hard to find an hour free every day. if I have 2 days, that puts a square in the denominator of my staling function.


Rabe, ....who originally wrote demoninator... coincidence?

[JimMorrison]

I don't think that 2 is the square of 1.

I didn't want anyone's vote to be influenced by the current turn's time crunch. Objectivity, and whatnot.

As the admin, I will (C) Abstain. My vote will count toward quorum, but will not otherwise effect the outcome; only (A) and (B) votes will be considered in the final calculation.

[MadFrancis]

I vote for A.
