Newbie Game

The turn will process as soon as the Last player uploads his/her turn file for that turn. Unless timed only turns are selected (which only serves to slow down a game), there will be no regularity to the processing of turns. 24 hours is just the maximum limit, when PBW will force execution regardless of whether all players have uploaded their turn files or not. If everyone uploads their files in 1 hour, PBW will process the turn right then and there.

The way you explain it Mr. Fyron turn processing sounds logical and should fit most people on a 24h basis.

Is the next step 48h or can one choose 36h or 40h as well?

[Fyron]

You can choose 25 hours if you want. It is entered per hour.

atm as I see it the game is set at 24hr clock, not 24hr timeout.

so if you think it's better to have 24 hr timeout then you should contact arakiel to have him change it.

Contacting me is as easy as pie

...which is an odd little saying because ive made pies and they arent easy...it's like the "taking candy from a baby", if you've ever tried it you'd know it ain't so easy...but I digress...

I can easily swap how the turns are run to run automatically. My thoughts at the time were that if someone didn't upload a turn everybody would be sitting around on their hands waiting. With the timed turns the turn runs...end of story...if your turn isn't in then at least you haven't made everyone else wait.

Let's put it to a vote. What would folks prefer, timed turns or full auto?

[Arakiel]

I should learn to read Fyron's Posts more carefully...either that or I need more sleep. Right nevermind the vote, auto turns it is.

I can make 24h turns, piece of cake (or pie for that matter). When and if the game goes into a micromanaging frenzy we can always switch to whatever seems appropriate.

Btw, are we playing a medium or large galaxy? 10 players seems a bit much for a medium sized map.

And what kinda pie did you make Arakiel? It didn't happen to be Space cake euh pie was it?

[Arakiel]

I see we have everyone's empires uploaded. One Last chance to let your voice be heard about galaxy size before i upload the gam file. i'm still seriously considering making the galaxy large instead of medium since we have 10 players now. if your against this and want to keep it medium, now is the time to let your voice be heard.

I'll upload the gam file around 3:00pm EST.

hmmh, pbw site is down for me. constant 24 hr turns (so always everyday at a set time) would be best for me (it will slow down the game a bit, but since we're in different timezones it's unrealistically to think that we could get turns faster than 1 per 24 hrs.
