I wanted to keep the option open, but everyone who signed up is premium. So I planned to do just what you've said: new games once a week, and expecting that games will take about two weeks to finish. That way you'd always have games that were in the exciting assault phase, instead of only having games where you deploy and end your turn.ahunda wrote:I was expecting 3 new games this weekend, but now I just re-read this:
Are you planning to wait until the complete first set of games is finished, before starting new ones ?BaldAdonis wrote:keeping it to 3 at a time (to accommodate any players without premium and to maintain a reasonable gameload
In this case, I´m afraid, this tournament is going to take forever ...
How about making this a Premium tournament and just starting a new set of games every weekend ?
With an average 10-14 days for a 6-player Escalating game (and an occasional game taking longer), game-load should be around 6 games at any given time then.
If you need to stay out of the newest games until the old ones are completed, I'm obliged to allow it since I did say it would be suitable for players without premium. One game will start without you, but Robinette will be waiting with you.Phlaim wrote:No, please. Three games is a lot to me. And is this "tournament" really going to end sometime? I thought it was never-ending.
You won't have any new games until the first ones finish, and even then not before next week.Incandenza wrote:6 top-level escalating games is about my limit, and the 3 original games I'm in are quite a ways from completion, so I'd be obliged if we could halt new game creation until we've got some games in the books.
Seeing, that there are quite a few players here, who are concerned with game-load, maybe we can compromise and start a new set of games every 2 weeks ?BaldAdonis wrote:I wanted to keep the option open, but everyone who signed up is premium.

I think that'll have to happen. Otherwise the rest of the groups will move faster than Phlaim's, and that won't work.ahunda wrote:Seeing, that there are quite a few players here, who are concerned with game-load, maybe we can compromise and start a new set of games every 2 weeks ?BaldAdonis wrote:I wanted to keep the option open, but everyone who signed up is premium.

Would give me some space to play some Escalating outside the tournament, with different people, and that would be fine too.
