That is precisely why I did not join.

I was getting excited until I saw the phase interval. 24 hours is considered slow now?? If it was three days and no finalizing I would be in!

It is a gunboat. You could play reasonably competently with five minutes committed to entering orders per turn, if you're a quick enough analyst and pressed for time.
I wouldn't recommend that, but 3 days to pore over a board without getting new information in the form of press is an awful lot of time.


Wish I'd seen this before I made or joined 7 gunboat games lol. I want to tag you another time though MM.

This one looks interesting. Too bad I'm on a holiday at the end of next week for a week and I don't know if I'll have internet connection everyday.

Also, 1 day phase is normal to me. 1.5 day is slow and 16 hours is fast.

I assumed gunboaters like to finalize, so the slow is in reference to no finalizing allowed

Just looked at the board -- players are finalized.

If I knew finalising was no problem; I'd have joined! Or did I?

I should have stated no finalizing before 1910, as the game nears a close, it really drags it out... Feel free to finalize orders if you want, though if you joined based on the condition of no finalizing, feel free to not finalize...

Hey everyone.

Just a reminder not to discuss ongoing no-press games on the forum, as even little things can influence the outcome of a game. If you need anything for a gunboat game, or have any questions, please send us an email at [email protected].
