Yes sorry, i thought you already kicked me out. Have no time to play atm, so i prefere leaving now and not after a few turns.
should i surrender the game?
No, wait if somebody wants to substitute you.
hey anyone, we started a some special game a few days before: Large continents map, 10 human players and STANDARD speed. The Long chilling game .
Now one player will obviously not play. It’s still his first turn, so anybody who would substitute him is playing from the very beginning. We’re playing with random leaders and the slot has Hammurabi as civ.
Anybody interested?
There should be a little bot that puts people in the order of time zone. I am in GMT+8 for games with so many players.
I will be going to bed soon, and the person before me is likely going to wake up soon. GMT-6.
Indeed this will be a very long chilling game. About a year I predict.
Assuming 1 turn a day, 300 turns for victory.
yeah, that was my very first game (so i didn’t order anything) and i learned from it. So the other game will have a much better order - if this or similar 
… [deleted]
Yeah, even it was my beginner-mistake not to put a better order (adis proposal came too late), the order we have is not too bad, we COULD even with the existing oder reach 1turn/day (see below) and should not need longer than 2 days for one “round” - but we need mostly 3. 
Here actual order with best playing-times to “keep the flow” and below with an “optimized” turn order
Atm, with 3 days / “round” (and 500 turns) game would take 4 years without holidays etc., means 5+ years with.
For me no problem but let’s discuss if we should re-start with the other turn-order. Everybody should consider for himself, if the longer “best playing-times” would make the difference for her/him.
[The “critical” point - no matter wich order - is the small playing-window of Fatus. So the recommended times always aim to the goal to hit his “window” exactely, when it’s his turn.]
it’s not possible to reorder the turn order? or at least swap the player civs if the players would agree?
neither nor.
well if it’s possible to substitute players, it would be possible to rearange the order by using the substitution? And we dont have to sub everyone to rearange, only the “bottleneck”

I don’t know if that would work - and even if i change only one or two, nearly everybody else will switch 1 or 2 places… AND nearly everybody would have e new civilization.
For example - with Jobbys new playing times, known since this morning - i would prefer to put Jobby directly behind me, Mister T behind Adi and then Lambo behind pertrojbl so he needn’t make his turn in the one hour at his early morning. So turn order (and civiliuzation) would change for everybody but me - with a lot of work for PYDT admins.
@Markelix, could you please re-make this considering Jobby’s new play-time?
It would be interesting to see the better order now.
Yes i’ll do.
But anyway the problem is: we restart now (or do anything else) and a few weeks later maybe another player decides also, that he has now completely new playing times.
So maybe we (including me) should accept, that we’ll play not 2-3 years but 5-6.

I think theres a feasible solution when only two players would have to switch. maybe some linear optimization or chat gpt would help be provided with the data
As you see, it’s still not done with one (or more) single exchange(s).
less than before, cause Jobby and Fatus and MrT800 and me have together one hour now.
If only one exchange: MrT800 and Chiller (?)
Even the new schedule it would be unlikely to be much more than one turn a day.
My timing is the one that is quite different from everyone.
