I wish I had more time and interest to play in more games. But I get board easy and loose my pace. My bad.

Some psychopaths can play 25 games in the same time ??? That make at least 10 hours playing a day during several weeks (months?).

Is there still life after SE IV PBW ?

No it doesn't. If you join games with 2+ day turn times, you can easily get only 6-8 turns to play each day, which only takes 10 hours if you meticulously double and triple check everything in each game, which really is a waste of time.

I'm in 10 games and if I have all 10 turns to do at the same time, I can have them done in about an hour or less. And that isn't FLYING through the turns. I check alot of stuff and double check other stuff. I guess I'm just fast.

It takes you an hour to do 10 turns? Man, that is slow! Well.. if they are all newer games, that is actually slow, as each turn in a newer game should only take a few minutes, as there is very little to do.

I said an hour or less. I didn't want to say like 15 minutes and have everyone saying I just go in and push end turn. But today I had 8 of 10 games to do and I had them done in 25 minutes. I just have a couple that are newly started and the others are midway through.

Edit: But 10 is the highest number I've been in. But each week it seems that number gets bigger.

LOL Sounds like you guys don't really enjoy the game; you just want to get the damn turn over with!

I do enjoy the game. I don't enjoy wasting time doing nothing productive though. I spend my gaming time playing many games quickly, instead of a few rather slowly.
