Do slow players ruin the game for you? (Time out:0 days after 17-06-2002, 00:07)
Yup, the game is slow enough already!
NO simul turns balance it out.
Yes, especially in the beginning, when they are opening the map on a second computer
Only when its Deity :P
NO, some players like to squeeze those trade arrows out
NO it gives me time to stroke my banana

I have never demanded a restart in a 4 player game or quit out after the first few turns. And since i hosted 99% of the 4+ player games its a bit hard to quit Although we usually had a few restarts due to tech. So anyways either post some examples or shut up.

Tired of ads?

Theres a difference between slow play and length turns.
If you play 20 4 min turns and accomplish what I accomplish in 12 turns of 7 mins each then the "fast" player (and probably the loser) is the slow player.
On the other hand, if both players are taking length turns and accomplishing a ton each turn and playing the best they can, then call me crazy, it just might turn out to be a great game. On the other hand, if one player is playing perfect with length turns, and the other is sacraficing good play for expediancy, then it will most likely be another blow out and uncompetitive.

I remember one game where this genius was arguing borders for 20 minutes on turn 10.

Playing slow is for SP, unless you find suckers...er, players willing to put up with it.

pot calling the kettle black, the

Accusing someone of faults that one has oneself, as in Tom's criticizing Dexter for dubious line calls is a case of the pot calling the kettle black, since Tom's about the worst line judge I've ever seen. This expression dates from the days of open-hearth cooking, which blackens practically all the utensils used. [Early 1600s]
