who runs it ?
does it go smooth ?
and when did you start the game ?

i think in order to run a smooth game there should be time limit per turn.
that means one man will be coordinator as you already have that when
you finish a turn you send him the save and to the next guy.
and if the next guy don't play his turn in a 24 hours his turn will be skipped :D.
that way people will be careful and wont stretch time, also if a player cant play
in a certain day he should say it to the coordinator in advance.
