Default Re: turnaround is very slow

Well, my problem is keeping interest in the game because turnaround time seems to now be 5-7 days. It is of course fine when people have to go away for a period of time, but when people are here it still takes a long time to host a turn. In the beginning of this game we were humming, but now we are very, very slow.

Does anyone else agree or am I off base here?

If we are to go down, let's go down in a last blazing charge of glory! Let's not die of ennui in our camp

I would be very happy to see things moving quickly again - to see Turin's ascent or crashing defeat happen quickly, whichever it may be.

yeah quick turns would be nicer, though I must say that I´m often the one taking the longest time.
Dom2 Endgame simply doesn´t have the same appeal as the early game has. So I find myself continually delaying the turn until I feel like doing the micromanagement chores again.

I´d appreciate going back to 48 Quickhost.

So, at least 3 of us (me, Ygorl, Turin) are for going back to 48hr Quickhost. I think that Boron is trying to find a sub.

Jurri, Whollaborg, is 48hr QuickHost Ok with you?

If yes, then I guess we have to get in touch with Chris.

Cool with me, naturally. I'm a goner in a turn or two anyway.

Server is down. I found no sub but it is not surprising.
So i will play the game till the end and try to be motivated.

I welcome a change back to 48h. With only a turn every 10 days i often almost forgot about the game. As jeffr said when a game crawls it is no fun.
Because the aim is not to do perfect moves but have fun.
If i need 3 months for 10 turns this is not fun imho.

A game should never be slower than 48h quickhost as maximum i think and VP should be set reasonable.
Because that's another problem. I am dead since 5-10 turns at least but the dying process in dominions is a very very slow one.
