Yes, at 0.20 turns per day this is officially one of my slowest live games (though not the slowest )

Where did we go wrong? Hmmm, how about 8 players?

Nah ... I have 8 player games that move faster than this. Not many, but some. And 6 player games that go 1 tpd ... not counting 6p2ad games (well, those lower the average anyhow, so nevermind).

Admittedly though I've had few games that progressed decently that were >4 player ... maybe that's the key

I've noticed a significant downturn in playspeed of all my games, even ignoring the "Paddy factor" over the last 2 weeks.

Not sure why, but things seem to be slowing down. I've only got a handful of games that are still moving at above 0.5 turns per day

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

48 hours _should_ be possible even for 8 players, or at least within 72. anything slower, and some peoeple should think of finding a faster replacement

0.2 turns per day? ouch? probably even less when just looking at the last 3 turns or so

Yeh ... Problem is, as (#players) goes up, (%chance of slowdown) increases more than linearly. Each additional player brings a risk of some multiple-day time-out; and while in a 4 player game 1 player might miss a few days a month, net of maybe 7 days / month total for all 4, if 8 players miss the same days, you have 12-15 days missed - assuming some overlap - and less interest in playing the save exists as well, meaning less waking up at 6am and playing ...

wow

we are all reqular players, and we are all here at strange and amazing hours

maybe we could each prioritize this game to get it played as soon as we see it each day

then we just may hit the next player while they are online that day
