Monty Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I was wondering what the interest would be for a 7 Day turn around day. Not asked Russ but was wondering what the thoughts are out in Victory land. I personally hate to wait 14 days for a turn and would love a quicker game. But I also understand many players play multiple games and a 7 day game would hit on the finances. Anyone any thoughts? I have added a Pole as well, simple yes or no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added a Pole as well, simple yes or no I am afraid for a teamof players 15 days is some kind of minimum period to allow each players turn to be processed in turn. And with one turn every week I would almost certainly miss a few, as there is less room to miss a critical day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 It would be difficult to play a 7 day turn cycle. TA reports woulds would not flow as easily. The turns would have to process and go back out the same day that they come in, so there would be no 'grace' period as there is now. And you would still have to rely on your TA to receive their turn and forward the results. As we all know, this game is played by people from all over the world and one could easily lose 2 or even 3+ days just waiting for results from an ally. I have a TA in one game who lives in Japan (I am in the Eastern US) and often has to travel to Korea for work. Sometimes we have had trouble in a 15 day turn cycle keeping up with each other. I am just not sure that 7 days is a good cycle. Maybe 10? I would love to try a 7 day turn cycle. I just think that, unless you TA's live within the same 1-2 time zones, you may have trouble spreading out 2-3 TA's (never mind 4-5 TA's!) in the 7 day turn cycle to keep the info flowing the same as in a 15 day turn cycle. Just my thought..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spongebob Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Further to what Earthling says, 7 days would just further the fog of war and show the need for smaller TA groups to get the best out of it, It may actually prevent these huge 5 person TA blocks getting the upper hand against smaller groups or single players and serve to even the balance a little so I say 7 days are good.

Harbinger of Death Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've been thinking that it might be interesting to play a no-TA game.....seven days would be nice for that. Only down side being, everyone would be on the honor system to not share turn intel. Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 You are just talking about an even shorter game for the sponge. Didn't think that was possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added a Pole as well, simple yes or no I think it would be very good I don't think we should make it too hard for Russ to do. Such as: Changing the rules to bend around the shorter turn around Just get into the game If we find TA's don't work just work around it Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spongebob Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Errrrm I found this, Hey Russ, any chance of a 7 day turn around game for game 92???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGRuss Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Errrrm I found this, Hey Russ, any chance of a 7 day turn around game for game 92???? Game 92 is close to setting up and has been advertised as a regular 14-day game so no chance of it being changed at the last min. It is possible to set up a 7 day game if there was enough support for it - I'm not sure it would play out well once players got past the easier, early turns though.

Guest Spongebob Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Whats the pros and cons you forsee oh wise one? for a future 7 day game? this pole although old suggests a 7 day game is wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGRuss Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Whats the pros and cons you forsee oh wise one? for a future 7 day game? this pole although old suggests a 7 day game is wanted Faster turnaround time can be fun but it also means you need to plan out and get your next turn ready in short order as well. With a short interval intelligence from TAs would be reduced considerably so that would mean more turns with limited intelligence (more contigency planning). Not opposed to the idea if we can get 30+ players lined up for it - be interesting to see how well it works and plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spongebob Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 May I be so humble as to suggest you set up two games together - game 93 and 94, one is 7 day one is 14 and people sign up for either or. May take a little longer to fill up but at least you know whos into what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Gadget Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 So Russ, to clarify, what is the estimated start date for game 92? Even a general estimate would be helpful. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 So Russ, to clarify, what is the estimated start date for game 92? Even a general estimate would be helpful. Thanks!
