Schedule Idea: Weekend Warrior

Remember the good old days of blitz games? I do...and I miss 'em.

An idea for a semi-blitz type game:

Game starts on a Saturday at 0:00 and gens every hour until Sunday 23:00.
That's at least 1 turn per hour for 48 hours. The first turns will likely go much faster than that since there's not much to do.

Teams of 2 players. Each team plays only one race. Ideally, each team has one member in the western hemisphere and one in the east, so that they can work in shifts, but I guess a same-hemisphere team could work if one player is on a graveyard shift schedule anyway. Smile

We could shift/shrink the exact window to suit the players (I'm GMT -5; I wouldn't mind ending as late as Monday 04:00.).

In 2-3 weekends, the game should be finished. Doesn't have to be 3 consecutive weekends. Players can decide which weekends they'll play. Maybe every other weekend, every third, whatever.

Another option would be to play only a 24 hour window each weekend. Takes twice the calendar time, but probably increases the potential player pool.

Thoughts?

What we need's a few good taters.
