Prior to his recent victory over Fabertong, Speedy had five games going simultaneously... I think Marky's "record" is 20+, but that doesn't really count...

I have 4 going and that's manageable, though it can get a bit busy at times........

I have 3 going, but to be honest, one is a 3x3. We're all prepping our offspring to finish that one.

When they're all moving along, it's a bit much for me, and my wife of course.

Oh, I get it. You are trying to get permission from the group before playing me.

It all really depends on whether or not you are still actively having sex with your wife. If the answer is no, then the sky is the limit......

Three is a good number , if your opponets are good natured types (not demading 16 turns a day!) . I certainly couldn't handle any more.

I've never had more than two at a time, and they've all died pretty quickly... That's why I don't PBEM any more...

I've done three - average 10 turns per day (average computed for every day in the calendar) for over a year - but for me at least - that was tough. I think realistically (if the AE project ever ends) 2 is my comfortable max.

I think MOG had 8 going at once. That sounds like the record to me.

I've got 4 going, one a multiplayer. They all move fairly well, so it's plenty.

Thanks guys.

At 36 she is trying but for me it is sometimes tough to switch so fast between Lunga point and the other well known point, which starts and ends like Guadalcanal.

I am trying to figure out whether a humiliation (can go both ways

) fits between job, family, and social life.

My maximum was 3 PBEMs (1 UV and 2 WitP) but all ended in flames (I had to retire from all PBEMs for a while) due to famly reasons. I am trying to be more careful know.
One more thing, Our game ends latest at the time AE is relaesed.

Of course we can start an AE one immediately.

I have three WitP PBEMs going and 1 WPO. I expect my Big B game will end when it is replaced by AE (if not sooner when my masterplan is sprung!!!), but the CHS and RHS games will be kept on if my opponents can manage it. Hopefully by late Autumn I'll have 2 AE, 1 CHS, 1 RHS and 1 WPO. I have been really lucky with my opponents - they are all good long termers. I am doing 2 AARs and they would be what I sacrificed if I get too short of time.
