I just checked the server and looks like Arco, Tir and Abysia are about to stale.

You're past the early game, turns take more time to prepare now. I propose to increase the timer to 48 hours, which we'll eventually have to do sooner or later, anyway.

I would say that turns are easily done in 5 to 10, 20 minutes tops right now. I would vote against increasing the timer.

But we'll see; if there's a few people who'd rather have 48 hour turns, that's fine. If someone wants an extention, that's cool too.

I think that everyone is still pretty excited to play in what for most of us is our first multiplayer game.

An extension wouldnt be that bad, as long as nobody stales, and do their turns as fast as possible?

I just got a new job, so that, on top of possible school? Imma be swamped w/ things to do. So an extension would be nice, but not necessarily necessary

Personally I can't get enough of the MP experience and turns come a bit slower than i'd like. However, I realize other people may have a busier schedule than I currently do and staling turns is no fun. I think it's fine if people need an extension or if we need to switch to 48 hours. I just hope that in general the cases where the longer timer is needed are an exception, but that's just the eager geek inside me talking

Also, I'd like to add that I'm having a blast this game. Something about playing a blood nation really appeals to me And all the activity in this thread is pretty awesome. I thoroughly enjoy reading all the comments, especially about the extremely-hot Claire!
