I think consistency of hosting is as important, if not more so, than frequency for maintaining interest. It seems that most games run into trouble when hosting is delayed indefinitely when a player drops out, we try to find a substitute, etc. If I have to repeatedly check for a new turn for a week or more after the last scheduled host, I find myself much less interested in the game when it finally resumes. On the other hand, if a game is scheduled to host only once every few days, and consistently follows that routine, I have no problem keeping my interest level up. It is a big boon to have longer times between hosts in late stages of the game, as turns take longer and longer to complete.

Delay
Hi All:
I received a message from a player that he is going to be away until Monday. Unfortunately, he did not play his turn before leaving. I think the player is new and did not intend to hold up the game. So, I will put the game on hold until Monday night.
In the future, all players are requested to seek substitute players when they cannot play for extended periods. That way everyone else is not forced to wait.
Thanks.
Pasha

Re: Delay
Given that I've had a stale, and that the player obviously _could_ have sent his turn in with the note saying that he was away until Monday, I don't see why it should be held up on his account. Not to mention that the player could/should obviously have brought up his holiday schedule somewhat more in advance.
After all, to quote Reverend Zombie, "I think consistency of hosting is as important, if not more so, than frequency for maintaining interest.".

Re: Delay
I agree with Cainehill. Stales happen, the game must go on.
*edit*
Trying to be humorous here, the game must go on is not a demand.
