Bloodless - Less micro game [running]

No problem; hosting has been delayed until 9:05 GMT Wednesday.

And I learned something new today - I hadn't heard of underwater hockey until now. How long do players typically stay under before going for air?

Thanks! We use fins and masks and snorkels. We stay no more than 5 to 10 seconds underwater at a time, then have to go back up to grab some air, then down again. When you're sprinting underwater, you can't really stay under for more than a few seconds. And a game lasts 30 mins, so the oxygen debt builds up. Check it out, maybe you have a club near you

Interesting; I figured exerting yourself like that you'd burn through oxygen quick but didn't realize you surfaced that often.

I think I'd first need to forge myself a ring of water breathing. Too much time playing Dominions and not enough exercising.

I have to say I lost all my interest in Dom3.
Just don't have the patience to spend hours to figure out how to make battle scripts effective or just plan forging a few turns ahead - and that's essentially what it needs to be a good player.

I got about zero fun from the games I played lately.

Just getting a turn done late and in a very short time.

I started the game before I realized all this.
