I want another, or more, multi player game here as much as anybody, but after thinking about it a little....

The thing with a game like the ponds is that all players make their moves in the same time period, independent of what other players are doing on that particular turn.

But with games like the ones being mentioned, each player would need their own turn. So, for example, with 7 players, even a one day per move limit would mean at least one week between turns per player.

Not that its really that big of a deal, except lets say it was 6 players, then you turn would come on a monday one week and then a saturday then a friday etc, then you throw in your weekend days.... you get the point.

Anyway, some people dont mind really long drawn out games that take months to complete, but I guess what I am trying to get at is that we might want to consider having shorter time limits available where we could get a group together and play a complete game in an hour or whatever? Maybe 1 or 3 minute per move limits, but I can also see problems with that as well.

I guess i really have no point, just rambling on a bit, talking to myself.....

Any comments, ideas, or suggestions?

Does anyone know of another multi player game that works more like the pond runs do?
