ORIGINAL: dr.hal Folks, I am exceedingly curious about one aspect of the game and that's the ability of players to do rapid turns. I see time and time again adverts for opponents here where the originator of the tread is looking for an opponent and he can do "one turn a day" or sometimes "two turns a day" etc. When I read this I'm dumbfounded! How can anyone do this sort of rate of returns? I struggle to get a turn out in 3-4 days depending on many other factors. But I could never ever commit to a turn a day or more. How do you all manage that incredible rate of turns in such a short period of time. What am I missing. I'm semi-retired and still don't have near enough time to commit to that sort of turnover so what am I doing wrong????? Hal I have a campaign game going for over six years now (original WITP). Turn rates vary. My opponent and I have seen job changes, relocations, family vacations, death of family members, graduations, marriages, etc. We have suspended the game for weeks at a time while dealing with real life. At its peak, we got one turn done per day on average (i.e., one of us would do their turn and email it out), so 3-4 actual game days per week of playing. We are in April '45, and now getting one or two a week accomplished. Much of it depends on attitude. My opponent and I like the journey; the destination will be nice when we get there, but we are in no hurry. I usually get to the gaming computer around 9 to 10 PM, and can get a turn done most evenings. Maybe two on a weekend day, but the commander-in-chief of the home front will have something to say if that is done too often. I would never commit to XX turns per day or per week, other than "I'll try." All it takes is one of the kids needing help with math, a bad day at the office or finding that we are going over to someone's house for dinner to destroy my evening plans -- which is a frequent occurrence. Don't feel bad Hal ... if you lived in your parent's basement and didn't have to suffer the inconvenience of having to make money, or have a family, or have outside interests -- multiple turns per day would be your routine. :-) Regards, Feltan
