One of the players has asked for the game to go to 48 hours... I normally don't do this until year 2420, but if the consensus says to slow down, then I will... Whaddddya think?

I have to say no to extending time between turns. However, I small Ironium bribe could swing my vote.

We are nearing 2420.

Games usually slow to 48 hours after year 2420. But its up to you!!! I've been emailed with a suggestion of changing it to 36 hours.

Comments please.

And........... theres always the possibility of a MWF generation, or a MTuWThF generation....

I like the 26 hour turn generation,
I also like the "no SAT or SUN" option.
I also like puppies

Hi all!

For your information:

As you could notice we got 11 votes whilst there are the hostess (Sally) + 8 players who were theoretically entitled to vote . I reported this to Ron and he admitted that this is kind of a bug which he should send further to the forum software providers .
Concluding, if we are to make a decision we cannot rely on polls even if it is made on our private subforum (like the above poll was) . Furthermore, the above poll cannot be trusted either, but as I understood we stick to 36 hours - the choice of the majority (whoever they were ). I believe Sally had no serious demands on changing that. My assumption that polls on private forums are private were wrong: the polls I tried to vote to on other private forums must have been simply expired - that is why I was not able to do so. I am sorry for misleading you.

Feliks.

Hey all,
I really appreciate everyone submitting turns earlier than the 36 hour wait. I find the long delay time between turns very stressful. It just gives me too long to rethink what I did.
I hope everyone is enjoying this as much as I am.
I never realized when playing against AI how important intelligence is. (yes intelligence is always important, but I mean knowing information about other races)

With the players coming from all parts of the globe it is pretty difficult to get turn generate in reasonable time. Just take a note that when Steve and Passy are waking up, we in Europe and David are going to bed, while you and Seth are taking you dinner and just clicking Stars! icon on your desktops (you have it on your desktop, right?). So recheck your fleets, planet's queue, check other's fleets size and departure points and deduct who they are and where their HW is, send a nice e-mail to Nexus One and relax . We plot against you when you sleep and there is nothing you can do about it . You and Seth plot against us when we are sleep (that why I am having nightmares recently ). Steve and Passy plot against us all when we sleep or are awake.
Jeez! Why on earth the Earth keeps revolving?

James, can you do a turn on the weekend or no?

Icon? You mean you actually CLOSE Stars!? You didn't put it in your startup menu, just in case your computer crashes? Hmm, May be you aren't taking this seriously enough

Ha! proof that my paranoia is justified! Oh, and who says I sleep?


BTW, you said WE plot, so who is your plotting partner?

You guys tell me how to give you weekends free and I'll be glad to do it.

Just name your schedule.

Please don't tell me every 36 hours and weekends free, because I can't do that - unless you want a schedule like Sky Harbor 3 has.

48hrs? Hmmm, I took advantage of it this weekend, but certainly could have submitted on time if needed to. I would prefer not to go to this schedual permenatly.
(If however I must, I will target the requester next and get us back on schedual)
Just kidden, whatever we have to do, to prevent folks from missing turns is OK with me.

It just had me confused. I checked the sky2 page and it said 33 hours and I thought I missed a turn becuase I knew I hadn't submitted 3 hours earlier.

Happy ST. Patricks Day to those he celebrate it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Few people wore green today but me - and nobody ever heard of the "i can pinch you if you didn't wear green" rule here in Holland.

I didn't see a green beer anywhere either

My boss is Irish and hadn't heard of the punishments for failure to wear green... wonder if it was just in my town in America???
Hmmmmmm, now i wonder....

Anyhow, I set the clock to 48 hours for the weekend, to give James an entire "workday" to turn in - but he didn't, so I guess that was for not -

So do you have a schedule for me or is the 36 hours okay???

Report message to a moderator

Hi guys,

I do not want to sound boring, but how about slowing down, say 48hrs? Some players are missing turns, I myseft find it diffuclt to turn in on time from time to time.
Come on, are we going to beat world's record and have 36hrs until 2845 ?

Regarsd,
Feliks.
