I don't mind switching to 48h. I realize that some people have started with wars while others still haven't. The first group naturally needs quite a bit more time for scripting armies and diplomacy.

It's definitely true that being at war makes turns a lot more time consuming. The other thing that factors in is hosting time - sometimes the hosting time moves to a time that is inconvenient.

As a compromise how about we stick with 24 hour hosting until turn 25, then move to 36 hour hosting. I think the extra 12 hours will help but also keep the game moving. At turn 30 we can switch to 48 hour hosting as planned or stick with 36 hours for a while longer if that is still working for everyone.

I'm OK with staying with 24 hour hosting for a while, but you are right that sometimes the hosting time is problematic. I like you idea, lets stay with 24 as long as we can before switching to 36. Thanks

Ok, I'll leave it at 24 for now. If there are days where a delay would be useful just post here - I try to check the forums 3-4 hours before hosting to see if anyone has asked for a delay.

Perfect.

If it is to stay at 24hr - which I am fine with - I'll need a delay on (my) Wednesday night...which I think is Tuesday for European and US players. I'll uptade this post to notify you when I leave.

Ok, sounds good.

Would like to submit my vote for longer hosting intervals. Especially now the most recent hosting deadline has shifted into the early AM EST.

36 hour quickhost would be a great compromise in my opinion. I've loved the pacing of this game, Momentum indeed.

Well, we've made it to turn 27 on 24 hour hosting so let's go ahead and switch to 36 hour hosting as we discussed previously.

At turn 30 the game is scheduled to go to 48 hour hosting and I'm going to make that change rather than stay with 36 hour hosting. This is how I advertised the game and I don't want to change the terms now. I think we have a good group here that has let the game live up to its name and I think we'll still keep up a good pace.

P.S. - Radioheart, do you need an additional 12 hours for this turn or can I switch it with the next turn?

Valerius · #70 December 9th, 2008, 04:20 AM

Ok, I've changed to 36 hours and postponed the hosting for the current turn by 12 hours.
