Any chance we could stick this game on timer? It would not have to be permanent, but it would be nice to recondition players to turn in their turns on a semi regular basis. A 48 hr timer for even a two week interval would do this game a lot of good.

[Thrawn]

Agreed.

[thejeff]

I can do that if there's something approaching consensus, but I don't want to until I'm sure everyone at least knows about it.

I've pm'd K and Wikd Thots, hopefully that'll wake them up.

Plz set it on timer. I have thought about setting my nation to AI many times cuz I hate these one turn a week games.

[thejeff]

Ok. I'm still very hesitant to go to a timer without at least some contact from K, especially since I'm losing a war with him.
But, we have to move sometime.

I'll start the timer tonight, unless anyone objects. That'll give him until Monday if he's not checking the board over the weekend.

I'll still be pretty liberal about pausing the timer if someone asks, so just let me know.

[jimkehn]

I have no problem with pausing a game for a couple days when a player has family in town or something, but this is ridiculous. I have learned one thing from it. I will never play another of these without at least a 48 hour timer. I have all but lost all interest in this game.

[Saint_Dude]

Yeah, me to.

I would have definitely gone AI a while ago (even before my own extended hiatus), if not for the fact that this was my first opportunity to play R'lyeh in Dom3. I have been working on some fairly interesting strategies that I am curious to see played out. But the waiting is killing me, and making me forget some of my devious plans.

[thejeff]

It's a shame. The first vfb no-timer game I was in went really well. No major delays at all.

I'm not sure why this one fell apart. It had more players and has lasted longer, which probably has a lot to do with it.

Hopefully the timer will get us back on track and revive interest. (And let K kill us all faster...)
