Blackice,

If you have 17 games going you are probably the best to judge? Also ask Birdman and ??? and you cover most, if not all, of the games?

My guess are: TeamHorses and/or Lung Fast (sometimes called Lung VERY fast).

Lung's Fast is the fastest game I'm in. Usually a turn per day.

Well I'm in a game against a guy called JAFO - we usually hit about a dozen turns a day... Pity I can't convince him to play an Internet Game, we could get it over in 20 Mins, and I could have the rest of the Evening off...

Lol Gav, Lung a turn a day wow! I don't think I am in one that matches that Franses

In Islands and Fixed Game we average a turn a day too. Yes once in a while it takes longer, but in the long run I'm noticed that it averages 1 turn a day.

Fixed Game has had the fastest turn around time in my experience. And thats for a 5 player game without any special preparations. The turn came back to me in less than 10 hours! one full cycle!!

Lung's Fast also has its fast and slow periods. I just went through my email archive and noticed that the game isn't quite as fast as I thought because of the slower periods. I have 36 turns over March and April, so we get about a turn every 2 days.

No, Blackice. Teamhorses does not make that kind of speed. We are happy with a turn every two or three days.

But I do not give in yet. How many people play in Lung (very) fast? I mean I play in a game with three people (not registered on Apolyton, so it does not count here) that makes two turns a day on average. Teamhorses however has six players. So I think it is fair to take the number of players into account.

I think High Voltage is the fastest game I played, usually 1 turn per day but sometimes 2 turns per day.

BTW you have forgoten to play your 15th Turn since yersterday noon I think

Lung's Fast has 5 players. And I agree that games with less players usually go faster. I have had 3-player SMAC games with 1 or 2 turns per day on average and even more turns in 2-player games.

An easier question would be, 'what is the slowest game here?'.

'Fast' can be very fast indeed but is far from the, so desired, 'Turn a Day' target. You need the right timezones and a barrel full of enthusiasm for it to work.

Actually I just rechecked, you may find that Fixed Game is the fastest for its size I mean. We have had hold ups every now and then, but over the fast few weeks we consistently have a turn around time < 24 hours. Infact I noticed we got a turn around time of 12 hours a few times. I think thats something for a 5 player game.

Dutcheese is running really slow right now, but hopefully once we eliminate 3 players it will start to run faster.

World scenario is a pretty fast game too but since Stavros disappeared its not budged. Turn is stuck at Stavros.

Right now Lung DM 3.2 (formerly known as "The Snail" ) are as fast as a rabbit in the spring.

3 turns in 13 hours(!) and I am (nearly) sure, that when I open my mail tomorrow morning, a 4th turn will be ready for me. Amazing..........

My fastest is Islands

Slowest is Monkey 1

DC has been slow but the end of the Vikings will make little difference.

BTW BlackIce, have you played your turn in Youngbloods Gathering?
[since may 2 said that you have the turn]

Maybe be in all that 17 games is really hard to keep on live

Edit: actually now you have also the youngbloods turn 25. Maybe I should start a tread remaind your next turn

I think Do some PBEM is the slowest I'm in. Actually, bearely turn a week. And Eagles at War, with 7 players, is faster.

	Suffering from ads?

Well, I think that Blackices idea of Tribe PBEM has a bit more weight now -turns for all Tribe members could be CC'ed to the others in that tribe, and in times of absence, another tribe member could play the turn - It can be a pretty lonely place (for a few months on a Gigantic map!LOL) in a PBEM but if there are teams of two or three, you will have another dimension to an already fantastic game.

See Blackices Topic 'PBEM TRIBES'

I would agree lung is moving quite well, youngbloods gathering on the otherhand lol, I think high voltage is about to take it over?

Dang by all accounts though most games considering number of players, time zones and a personal life are moving quite well really.

kool you have to love this game.
