Broken Crescent 2.02 Hotseat - Lords of the East

First question - did you pm Ironfist at twcenter as Quirl requested?

Second question - what exactly are you proposing?

There are 12 human factions in this game - if everyone uses the whole of their deadline each turn will take 26 days. That's the way the game is set up.

I would like it to go faster too, but I'm not sure what you're suggesting by 'getting rid of dead weight'.

If you mean booting players, I would rather do the following:

- Start skipping turns instead of subbing them when the deadline runs out, so people get the message that if they are late then their turn is forfeit. If someone wants a sub they have to organise it in advance so the deadline doesn't pass without play.

- Three turns skipped and then you're out, your faction gets taken over by a new player or switched to AI. At least that's what I tried to enforce in the game I ran and it worked pretty well.

- We could also make the deadline 36 hours instead of 48.

One last thing - if you want the game to go faster simple maths will tell you that knocking out human factions will speed things up - so go to war!
