MP: Noobs vs. Vets, Game Over, Noobs are Victorious! Hail Noobs!

Yeah anything over 48hrs really kills the momentum of the game. Personally, I think that at the very least, turns 1-10 should be 24hrs MAX. They are such fantastically small and easy turns it doesnt really make sense otherwise.

I don't like 24 hour turns if quickhost is turned on, as turns can then creep forward until it's impossible for some people to actually play them. I'd suggest 30 as a minimum.

Creep is implicit in any timing, you can't hang it on 24hr just cause its not your preference. You will creep just as much - more actually - with a 30hr schedule since it's not a regular "day" division. At least with 24/48hr you know implicitly how much time you have b/w turns.

There is no problem with 24hrs, you just have to not obsess over your turn. Turns 1-10 take 5 mins max. You can't tell me you dont have 5mins to spare. And pretty much everyone has a time of day thats optimal to play turns right? So if you have a 24hr timer, then you are *gauranteed* to fall into that slot once in the cycle.

I'm happy to say that the incredibly dangerous Mictlan seems to be down for the count. He has a few provinces left, but no temples and his god died this turn... so a dominion-related death appears imminent, even if he CAN hold onto provinces with just a mage and some pd. Three cheers for Aristander, slayer of the colossal head!

Ermor is still a bit weak from the thrashing midgard gave him, and abysia isn't faring very well against the walls of ulm's capitol. So it looks like the major threats to Team Noob are now Pythium and Pangaea, who so far have more or less evaded any real damage. Hopefully we can bring that down to one major problem nation shortly

That's because we are good dude!

And the Gorgon would be foolish to move out of Dominion. You'll have to come and get her Pyg.

I was a threat? Heh. Oh I guess when my pretender was alive yeah maybe. Not really since.

Hat's off to Ulm tho for good use of his thug. It was an unadvisable attack on my part but he was well equipped and scripted. He carried the battle for you.

24 hours is a little short. Exspecially if you get the file at a really inconvenient time.
Almost missed a couple of 24 hour turns in a game because of sleep or just getting home a couple hours or so before turns finish.

I don't know. I really like 24 hour for the early turns. As IH said, they are so quick and easy to do. Honestly, if you know you are going to be out of town or somehting in the first couple weeks of a game, you probably should not join it.

I wouldn't go below 30 for the first 10 turns of any game I'm admin'ing simply due to my own schedule, depending upon the size of the teams a certain amount of time must be allowed for team communication, that would dictate the minimum regardless of what turn it is.

Seriously, attack the Gorgon. I need to know what she can handle without the best equipment. You noobs have already won the game.

Maybe.
