You need the 2nd one 5.2C

Perfect, thanks.
Playing my DAMN turn now.

So nearly 3 months have passed since this game started. We are on turn 25.
That is about 9 turns a month.

Assuming the game finishes by turn 250 it will take 25 more months to complete. Summer is coming, I would imagine turns will take even longer.

What are the odds that everyone will still be playing in 2+ years time? Civ 7 should be out by then.

As I said about 15 turns before: Play the game 10+ years (with holidays and until turn 450 maybe) or restart with turn order. Didn’t make an order, cause it was my very first PYDT-game.

As some didn’t want a re-start, we’ve played on.
It’s not the only one very slow game, I’m playing, there are even slower ones.
For me not a problem but i’m shure, that we’ll still play, when Civ 8 will come soon.

Sure, it would be nice if it went a bit faster, but I’ll play along with the tempo as it is

Markelix · May 30, 2023, 12:18pm

On the other hand: On my sight it’s an affrond to the other players, to play a PYDT-game and not look minimum once a day (outside holidays), if it’s ones turn.

That’s my slowest game: they started on turn 76 (classical era or whatever), I subbed in for Adi (and still don’t know, if I like the way, he started, cause had only a few turns yet):

We’ve about the double speed of that game

edit: Let’s see which game will win the “snail race” in the end!

I still play civ iv lol

Fatusblobus · June 18, 2023, 8:05am

what happen to the discord?

Markelix · June 18, 2023, 9:09am

The server is closed

Markelix · June 18, 2023, 9:11am

@Chiller You made - also in you other games - no turns for a couple of days.
Are you on vacation?

Fatusblobus · June 19, 2023, 5:26pm

why?

Fatusblobus · June 19, 2023, 6:10pm

no, why is the discord server closed?

Markelix · June 19, 2023, 6:24pm

^^ sorry.

Don’t know exactly. But I think it’s related to a longer story that goes back more than 2 months.
Don’t know if it’s worth to tell that story again.

Markelix · June 20, 2023, 5:58am

O.k., only because Chiller is otherwise a fast player, I’ll wait one more day, before looking for a sub.

Markelix · June 20, 2023, 10:50am

What’s your opinion what to do with Chiller, after we waited another day:

Shall we look for a sub (will not be easy for this game I think)
Or shall I just kick him an AI overtakes?

Stezo187 · June 20, 2023, 10:55am

Looking at his Steam profile, it seems he hasn’t played anything since the 14th.
Hopefully nothing happened to him, maybe PC died or something.

adi_4k · June 20, 2023, 12:01pm

I wouldn’t feel well knowing that we kicked a very involved player just because we haven’t heard back from him in 5 days.

@Chiller posted for the 1st time on the Smack Talk of this game.
He has been very involved and interested for this game to progress.
He insisted for me not to leave this game back in April.

Let’s hope he is ok and let’s just pause this game until we hear something from him.

We don’t have any deadline, so no need to hurry.

This game was destined to take a long time anyway.

Markelix · June 20, 2023, 12:18pm

I’m fine with that. I mainly asked what I should do because as “host” I feel responsible for the game continuing at some point.
But as I wrote: He has been a fast and reliable player since the start of this game.
So let’s hope, that he will return soon from the “break” (whatever it is), he’s taking actually.

Markelix · June 20, 2023, 1:08pm

Another idea: I put the turn timer on, if it’s Chillers turn (and put it off after).

So AI would play some turns for him, until he’s back, without kicking him.
And after he’s back (hopefully soon), he can play on.

… that would be as in every other game that has a turn timer, not more.
Think that should be acceptable for him.
