    Bro. I get up at 6 then i commute thru something that's worse than bombed Dresden, work, training, commuting again, oh look it's 7 o'clock *again*, 3 hours sacred time to fart and post gifs on codex, then it's under the bed-sheets working to make copies of myself, sleep of 6 hours if i am lucky, rinse repeat. Tomorrow. The drafting alone takes a day *if* we're fast.

    I like the part about the efficient German babymaking. No feelings involved, as it should be.

    How about upping the timer to 72h after this turn? I can manage the current pace fine, too, but that'd buy me some time to join the 3rd Season. Opinions?

    I'd be ok with that, once the other game starts. Right now 48 or whatever seems fine. If we bump it up now, there will be plenty of people who wait until hour 71(like me) to finish sperging out, and the next crucial turns will take two months.

    Oh come on, 72h is kinda long for this game isnt it? I have a game on turn 122 and we are running 48h.

    I agree, three days per turn makes stuff very very slow. I think it's too much, personally. But if people are having trouble getting their turns it, that's more important and they should be accommodated :)

    I'm fine with whatever people choose, but can I ask for one more 12h extension this turn? One last time.

    I hope

    I think I could join this one too after all. I mean I'm already in one game, so what's another?

    I hope you mean the game, not raw's bed-sheets.

    No problem. I understand you need that extra time to update your LP.

    you'll get a PM, don't worry.

    For those who haven't been here last time:
    You get 3 random nations per PM and you pick one. It is customary not to reveal your pick (except to me via PM obviously).
    If you happen to pick the same nations as some other dude, you automatically enter BattlePick^TM mode. Your and his 3 nations are pooled together to a total of 6 nations, then all already picked nations are eliminated, excepting the one you two picked obviously. You are then given the chance to forfeit the BattlePick^TM, granting your opponent the nation and you get a r-eroll. If noone wants to forfeit, 2 1d6 are rolled until the two numbers are not equal and unpicked.

    My picks were between "boring", "already played multiple times", and "stupid".

    Guess which one I took.
