This is something I really want to avoid having to do in game 4.

I think the 2-thread system might help eliminate the need for doing big summary posts like that.

On a different note, would anyone be interested in trying to do a rapid game all in one afternoon/evening on a weekend sometime using the chatroom?

How many hours would you think that would take and what time GMT would you think it start and finish? I'm interested.

Probably somewhere between 30-60 minutes per player. If I were modding, I can generate new images of the board and post them online fairly quickly, so that wouldn't slow it down much. It'd be only for people who have played here before, so hopefully there wouldn't be any points where we get stuck debating rules or whatever.

I think the time to do it would have to be the euro-evening/NA-afternoon time. Like 6pm-GMT/noon-EST so no one has to be up too early or go to bed too late.

[Tattersail_]

I'd be in for that.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah if I was free that weekend I'd do that. Wouldn't it be easiest to do it via Skype?

Well, whatever tool. I just picked the chat here because we're all already here. And as an admin you could always make a secondary one just for us if it was getting too noisy with other people in there.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm not sure the ip chat plugin is that flexible, but yeah I'm sure something could be sorted out.

It sounds like fun but there is no way I can get away for that many hours on the weekend for anything other than work and even that is a pain to do. Young children and all. Very time intensive.

Fuck the kids!!
I would be up for that. If the timing was right. Weeknight is probably best. Though I'll need to get my PC working first.

[Gnaw]

It would be very cool. With the proviso that family comes first. Some of y'all have children. I have my father and "how does the dvr work again".

No, it would have to be a weekend. People have jobs, and NA weeknight would be middle of the night for the euros.

A few little "back in 5, I gotta go switch the laundry" and such would be fine, but the idea is that everyone would be present and responsive throughout. No "back in 40 minutes while I take the kids to soccer" because if everyone has to do that at diffeent times it just wouldn't work. Though a single big everyone-break-at-once halfway through for lunch/supper might be a good idea.

Obviously emergency situations take precedence. But if you cannot dedicate a continuous stretch of mostly-uninterrupted time for it then sorry but this is not for you. It wouldn't work otherwise.That's what the drawn out thread games we've been doing are for.

I'd be up for a quickfire game, though scheduling in some free weekend time might be a bit tricky for me.

Hence as much as I would love a sped up version of what we've been doing I just don't think I could do it. It would take a "My sister bought tickets for me and the kids to come visit her in Atlanta for two weeks" For me to be able to get enough me time to do this.

I could maybe "host it". I have enough apple products that I could put the SVG file onscreen on my iMac. Point an iPad with Skype at it. And use my laptop to play. I can control the iMac from the laptop so there wouldn't be any "move your shoulder so I can see the left corner".

I'd just have to experiment to find out how clear the picture would be.

Or look into what programs are available that would send video of the screen through the tubes. With that y'all would find out how annoying my habit of doing figure 8s with the cursor is.

If you want to, but I don't mind doing it with just the image system I had running last game, making updates about once every one or two full rotations of the board.

I didn't know you had an image system last game. Whatever works

Did some editing to the OP. Please check it out and back feed.

[Tapper]

Looks good, I especially like the closed race selection and a different player choosing the order of rotation round 1.
