For a long time we've had 5, 7, or 14 day settings for turns in all the games. My friends and I have long talked of a need for 3 day setting. Lot's of folks do a turn a day. I don't even look at games set to 7 or 14 days and I think 5 should be default. Low and behold suddenly we have a 28 day setting. 4 player games of KingMe could take 3 years to finish. Put together a 10 player BlueMax and there's a chance a 25 year-old could die of old age before the game ends. Why 28 days instead of 3? I could even see 2 day settings.
In general I am in agreement with you. Unfortunately there are practical matters to deal with. Since we are not face-to-face and require a computer connection and the free time to come to the site 3-day turn limits often get violated. I would like them for individual games maybe but for leagues they just do not work. You get too many automovers which often simply ruin a league. So for leagues I am more sanguine about the limits now. I'd rather just join more games/leagues with 5 or 7 day limits than be in leagues where there are automovers. Most people move often enough where the limits rarely come into effect and if you are in enough games you really do not notice that some are dragging longer than others.
I too cannot see the purpose of a 28 day limit. You may as well have no limit IMO. But apparently it is of some use to someone. I will not be joining any. |
