Slow Boat to T'ien Ch'i

[Shamash]

You are both right. I think it would be a bit unfair to force smaller time windows without unanimous consent, as Gregstrom pointed out. However, I do agree to encouraging faster turns if people can comply with that - still, there are no obligations - the game is meant for people who cannot guarantee a fast turnaround, after all.

I would agree to a 48hr/turn arrangement till turn 15.

[Aethyr]

I agree with all. I can commit to 48/h through turn 15, afterwards 72/h sounds good.

[GreenAris]

I am happy with 48hr turns

I'd like to suggest simply aiing stalers. With a week to take your turn, there isn't any excuse to stale.

I'm unhappy with the slow progress so early on - I was expecting turnarounds of 1-2 days with just the occasional delay when someone got stuck in real life.

I'd have to admit that were the time limit 48h, I'd have missed this weekend due to being away. Having said that, I can stick to 48h for a few weeks at least. 72h would be my second choice. We can rethink at t15.

I know I am at least partially responsible for the delays (Sauromatia). The game started at an unfortunate time for me - doing some global traveling with limited internet access. When I signed up for the game, I had thought it would start a bit earlier and I would have a week or two of play before I started traveling.

So, while I would love to commit to 48 hours, I would undoubtedly stall a few turns. I will be back in the US and able to play more regularly the beginning of November.

All that being said, if everyone would like to speed things up, I could change my nation to AI and look to join a different game in Nov.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Then I suggest we leave the timer as is. After all, we all signed up for a slow game.

Still, if we can get turns done faster, everyone is happier - so send those turns as soon as it is possible for you.
