So how long do y'all think the rounds should last? I'm thinking not less than two weeks, not more than four.

Discuss, please. :D

I vote 4 weeks, but practically why not make it monthly? new file could be posted same date each month then.

well... you have a point there EA! I hadn't thought of it like that. if we want to be different and do it 4 weeks (strict) we can also get 13 games a year, woot!

I originally voted four weeks.

Now it occurs to me that perhaps we should run a few rounds, and see how long each one takes, and go from there.

But Mr Deflower-My-Forum(;)) has it right. . . if it was monthly, then it would be a straight rip from the CFC GOTM. I'd rather not make it too obvious. . .

Who cares if this is a complete copy of GOTM?

Its a good idea and I for one have no problems with copying it.

Lets not cripple a good idea just because we wanna be different.

Matrix is the original creator of GOTM anyway, and he is a CDZ member, and this lil' tourney has nothing to do
with GOTM so please stop saying we are "copying" GOTM, it makes no sense [mad]
Dozens of site are running their own little game and nobody ever said it they were "copies of GOTM" !

ps : [dance2] Yeeha ! [dance2] Meli is back ! :D

Good points Meli and SF. . .

Since these are quick games, whaddaya say we let a couple of rounds go and see how it turns out. I see no reason to make it a monthly game if everyone is finished in two weeks.

OTOH, if everyone here is wanting to go past 10ad, I have no problems with that. This isn't my game. This is our game, and it should reflect the siteuser's wishes on how it should be done. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of different types of game, if it came to that. It is my hope that there is enough response to this to also get a pbem going. That probably would be a monthly type thing. Or at least one started every month. Not sure how the process will go.

2 weeks!!! I can't finish a game in 2 weeks! I have other crap to do! Seriously, even if I'd dedicate all my gaming time to the gotm it'd still take me at least two weeks, and I'd like to play something besides this if possible...

The idea is to start off and see what is best. Maybe 2 months might be the limit? 2 weeks indeed seems a bit short.

Every 4 weeks would be good.
