Probably the last time I'll ask and seeing how I usually don't get much support I'm going to cut it down to one thing. Could we cut the break in Express from two days down to like 6 hours? Would play other types in addition to express, but it feels too much like a snails pace. Would like to continue promoting the game to my friends and family, but I'm not going to if I don't play anymore.

unlikely that happens since some could get minor advantage due timezone they live.
Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

They could make it start on Monday instead of Tuesday, that wouldn't be bad, but personally, as an express player myself im not feeling the need for even MORE express.

If it started on Monday and turns came every 5 minutes that would slightly lower the total turns per set though. That would only impact the records, 1728 vs 1800 turns doesn't effect strategy much.

All in all though, this isn't a very necessary change. I would prefer the set start Sunday at midnight (GT) and end Friday at midnight (GT). I don't have much time on weekends, but everyone will have different preferences here.

I hate making suggestions, because it usually ends in someone angry. Shouldn't you aim to appeal to EVERYONE, not just people in this time zone or that time zone? Would attract more players. More players = Better ? More targets, more competition....

What advantage would there be for anyone with shorter breaks? Time of day/week when the round starts/ends? Is this something that should be limited because of some players who don't have time on this day or that? I am unavailable at random times during the day, does this mean we can put a pause button in for me when I am busy near start/end times?

Sometimes I will log in and see that the express server is still 9 hours away from starting so I won't log on for a while, and when I do if its between rounds again, I won't play for a while again until I log on when the round is going whether it is in the middle of it or not. Seems kind of silly to put the entire game on hold for two days.

Create your country when it's 9 hours away. then even if you don't log in for 48 hours you still won't lose any turns.
