I rather like this idea, again as a game option. Yes life happens, but life happens whether or not this option is implemented. I've missed submitting turns because something came up even on games with 48 hour time frames.

Indeed, the original idea was based on the idea the life happens unequally to different players and this might be a way to equalize the effect. Under the proposed option everyone would get X amount of time to actually work on their turn. The difference is that X is less than gen time frame and you get to choose when the clock starts running on X.

From the standpoint of simulating reality this also plays better. While each turn is supposedly a "year" this year is much longer for some players than for others. If I don't have much life happening then a 24 hour gen schedule could mean that the game year contains say 20 hours. OTOH, if life is a very happening thing for me that same game year may only be able to contain 2 hours.

Obviously the lifeless have an advantage. Damn zombies.
