Default POLL: New Idea For PBW Games

I haven't seen this offered in PBW games before so if it has been discussed, please forgive my reluctancy in reading the entire forum.

BUT...

Please indicate your preference on the following game turn turnaround time proposal:

It seems to me, from previous poll, that people like a quick turnaround time in games. So, I was thinking that a graduated turnaround time might be received well. I'll call it "graduated" turnaround time. This contrasts with a fixed time. Example: Turn 1-10 (24 hours), turn 11-20 (36 hours), turn 21-end (48 hours).

Uhm, the poll has two answers, but isn't asking a question...

From what I gather the question is: Do people prefer a fixed time limit in their PBW games. In other words, do they like the time limit to be, for example, 36 hours from turn 1, to the end of the game.

Or do they like the gradual system. Turns 1-10 24 hours. Turns 11-20 36 hours. Turns 21-end of game 48 hours.

I guess I could have said it better. Thanks, "Rags".

Everyone knows the first turns are easy...and most want to get them out of the way so the excitement can begin. But later, it seems things take more thought and no one wants to rush through it. So....

I thought, perhaps, a graduated system might appeal to people.
