This is gonna be an off-topic post, just hoped to get some quick answers...
Hi there.
Heisenberg Wrote:New to PBEM, so... I'm I correct to say u guys are playing turn-based, sending it to the next subsequent player?
Yes that's correct.
Heisenberg Wrote:Noticed u guys have similar playing times... So you could get multiple turns in in say one evening? (was tracking the dates of the posts lol) So... whats the average waiting time between turn rounds? Like... every half an hour or so early on?
Well, to play multiple turns in an evening, everyone has to be able to play the turn. For any game that has more than 2-3 people, you usually need to organise blitz sessions where everyone is present if you want multiple turns at once. Otherwise at a good pace you play 1-2 turns a day thanks to time zone issues.
Heisenberg Wrote:How long do these games take? I'm kinda used to 6 hourish sittings in the old days for a standard-largish sized map. So turn based should get it done in... maybe weeks?
Depends on how many Blitz sessions occur and game speed, but usually it takes months, not weeks to complete. We started this game around the beginning of January and I suspect we won't be done for another few months at least.
Heisenberg Wrote:I'm guessing playing it PBEM also eliminates the OOS issues?
Yep, you download the save, play the turn and then e-mail the next turn to the next player. Your not online at all while playing so there are no OSS.
