Super fast 16+ PBEM DG? Or: "The more the faster!"

Hehe. I was only joking man. Sorry if it wasnt clear to you

No, I got it.

But believe it or not, you had a valid point and I have been thinking about if this would really work (but I think it actually will).

From what I can tell the problem with most PBEMs is not that ppl don't want to play or totally lose interest, it's more about RL-issues interfering (holydays, family, job). If you can fill these gaps with backup players (for example), the game speed WILL increase -> and the higher the turn output per week is the higher is the interest in the game.

This could also be slowed down by discussion between teams, but i guess the ISDG goes faster than the 8 player and DDPP so you might have a point there markstar. Unfortunately atm, my time is so limited i certainly dont have time to discuss turns with other players let alone be a reliable day to day player.

I am willing to give this a go. Possibly be teamed with Grahamiam or Paal.

I like this idea

I would like to participate and make a team with Kemal. We will not be away this summer at the same time, so we can guarantee fast turn play.

Hey, I didnt sign up

@digger760: Well, as I've said...it doesn't really matter how much time you have since there always should be others who can jump in any time. So don't let that stop you (but of course I realize there are valid reasons not wanting to join ).

For my team I have a democratic structure in mind with free discussions on what to do next and then one primary turn player (that'd be me, I guess. ) but with the others also free to play the turn of course.

So Whomp, if you are o.k. with that I'd love to have you on my team.

Sounds good Markstar!

Markstar just so you're aware it will be an on/off thing with me this summer but not 24/7. Weekends will be the tough times.

Mmmh, nice idea. I thought you were thinking of another simultaneous moves weekend. I have one question : you say 8 players will make the game slow, then I thought you would speak of simulatenous moves, and we all know Civ4 is coming now, but then you end up with a regular PBEM. I'm not sure that "receive-first-play-first" will increase the pace by much, but you'll see.

I'm not sure now. This reminds me of Beam's in November, and that is the only reason I'd like to take part in it. The cons are :
- not interested in Civ as much as I was before ;
- Civ4 on the way, time to have a rest ?
- do other things in RL ;
- try to lower my presence here for a while...

So, put me in the reserve list, please. If Darkness is OK, I'd team up with him again ! Up to you, Darkie. Or I could team up with someone I've never played with (interesting to learn about the dude). My time isn't that limited, but I'd rather have someone who can play a lot, I'd like to be teammate #2...
