I'm making a request to switch to 48 hour turns now that the game has quite obviously passed the initial expansion stage for many players and teams.

Would anyone else also prefer to switch to 48 hours turns from now on? Particularly those who have a team-mate with a five hour time difference, which can make regular communication during turns a very tricky affair at times

Especially as when we do manage to get together on IRC, one of us is usually drunk

I agree with Calahan and support his 48h hosting request.

I'd prefer 36h, but I won't object to 48h. It's up to Ironhawk though.

In response to requests from several teams to slow the game timer, I have now set the host interval to:

36hr hosting, with a 12hr warning email

I know that some people wanted 48hrs, but I feel it is too early in the game to warrant that. Try to play with 36hrs first and ask for delays if you need them.

One team is away this weekend (the 30th) and has asked for a 24hr delay. So 24hrs time has been added.

Maerlande voiced his opinions that lifting 'anonymous' tag from this game could be a good idea. With diplo still not allowed.

So voice your opinions here Pretty much 1 voice for 'no' makes it fail.

whatever for me. i dont have any intention to cheat, since it would take away the gain from a victory or any kind of succes i might achieve. but i understand there might be people here who would have other preferences.

Calahan said no, so there is no point in voting any more. I just felt like raising it. Some stronger teams, like DrP + Calahan want to stay anonymous, for many obvious reasons. I know who they are though :P At least I hope so.
