Omni - who is the OP in reference too? I'd like to avoid playing with whoever that is if they go AI in most of thier games.

It isn't in reference to anyone in particular.

It is actually aimed at the 'Land Rand' game in which we've been on a 72 hour schedule since turn one because people won't get their damned turns in, and no one desires setting the repeat offenders to AI, or even just stale them, since that creates a lot of havoc and disrupts the game.

I don't know if the cause is that these people are in a lot of games. However, other games I've been this has been behind people being late.

There's certainly players who can handle being in many games.

Going with the classic powerhouse nations is another great way to get into the hall of fame early.

As it is, I still suspect it

Truman, are you suggesting that I usually play my turns drunk?

Hmm, yeah, probably right on that. I play under the leadership of Dionysus. It works out more times than not.

Gods help you all if I ever decide to play sober

For me it works the opposite, the more games I join the less fun I have. That's why I've decided that the magic number of 2 works as maximum for me.
For Pasha I usually make an exception of going up to 3

For the life of me I won't join a fourth.

3 < # games ==>

I can't take Omni's post seriously at all.

The people in the Hall of Fame, by and large deserve to be there, I have fought most of them 1v1 so I should know!

1 or 2 games may have been lucky wins due to players going AI or staling but compared to the total games in the HoF that is insignificant.

Like Wraithlord says, concentrating on just 1-3 games will net the best results for experienced players.

LAND RAND has been very unlucky, hit by several delays/dropouts which is very, very unusual for a Pasha game, which are by invitation only (mostly) and usually have only very experienced players in them who should know better!

I've advocated staling the slackers every time Pasha has mentioned it on IRC. Its not like the stated hosting schedule is particularly onerous. Not being able to meet it *and* not asking for an extension means you deserve to be staled.
