In reality, you are too focused on scale here, Sillyflower. What you need to do is remember geological timeframes. You can ponder your next turn for a good long while (say 200,000 years) and it won't matter much in the long run. In fact, you are allowing this slower (and therefore more observable) change to take place at a more natural rate. In the end, you are helping out everyone here.
Good point. I will probably reply in about only 100 years as I don't quite have your patience.
Wouldn't this be somewhat incompatible with the almost pro bono work you envisaged in post #17.
Presumably the billing rate would be in 6 minute increments (or would it be in 6 turn increments) but at very modest charges, perhaps only in single teeth/finger knuckle currency per billed increment. Frankly that would be pro bono territory. Afterall, the benefits which your opponent would receive from mentoring would be priceless.
However, if you were to only reply each century, the natural order of things would be shattered. Partners would be shocked at the lack of proper billing weight; non-vintage champagne neigh cava would have to be substituted for a nice 1996 vintage Pol Roger (in honour of Winnie otherwise Dom or Krug, we don't deal with such vulgar product as Crystal). More importantly your mentoring would, on principle, be dismissed by your opponent as obviously not worth much. Also how could you reasonably expect your opponent to retain, for taxation deduction claims purpopses, records for up to 100 years. Certainly Her Majesty's government would have some difficulty in verifying the validity of any such claims lodged.
No, on balance I do believe you wouldnot have your client's best interests, nor your own, were you to deviate from the time honoured billing standards.
