Is anyone else interested in moving to 72hr turns? I'm having some difficulty keeping up.

I don't think that so long hosting is acceptable in any MP games, except for extremely huge one in really late stage [there is only one with 72 hours and it is on turn 106].

How many games are you in?

My turns are getting easier so my preference would be to keep hosting the way it is to speed things along.

But if others need more time, I don't mind slowing down.

Hmm, perhaps one game too many.

If 72hrs is too long for most, then I'll continue and do the best I can. I don't think it is such a problem that I will leave a game yet. We'll see how it develops. If it gets to be too much, I'll let you know.

I'm glad i heeded llamabeast's advice not to get into more than 2 games at once, although i was tempted at first. The later turns take quite a bit of time.

At the moment i'm very comfortable with 48h-turns but would not mind switching to 72h.

I manage to get in 3 games, though other 2 are in rather early stage and it can be problematic if I manage to survive long enough there

hEad, thanks for stepping in. I am sure Ulm will be following you out the door here soon. Hope to see you in a full-blown game one of these days.

Your a gent DonCorazon, I hope so too! Subbing for Man was to put it mildly, a hellish experience - getting clobbered from the get go is a tough meal to eat...

Just as long as Zeldor doesn't win!

hEad:

My chances for winning are really tiny, to be honest.

Anyway, thanks for trying. I am sure that hard games teach most and you will be much better in next MP games, when facing enemies that won their first games. I know I've learned a lot from my start here, when I almost got rushed and killed by Man.

P.S. I think it is time to announce new MP game for newbies
