I could probably arrange to complete an update on Christmas Day, if it was really required. I can break for all 3 of the days if its wanted. Other than that I was thinking just the 25th.

If reis and xensphere feel they can cover running A-H from the 23rd to the 29th, then I'm fine either way. Otherwise, my preference is for a longer break.

I am in favor of a Christmas break (at least). I think it is now clear that our boys won't be home by Christmas, and that, as Italy says, 'There can be only one.'

Just deliver me a Christmas present and surrender already, Baggy.

Absolutely not. I will fight until either there is no black or no red left on the map.

Same for me.
What do you all think of moving to 24h turns?

It's really hard to conduct diplomacy with only a 24hr window. It cuts down on discussion tremendously...

Well, he can still receive our best diplomatic insults in a 24h window.

Also, I subject a motion so that, henceforth, we shall use the term "Prussians", rather than "Germans", when referring to the people of Northern Germany.

Bagricula is usually online at the same time as me, so I don't think Vainglory living in Australia would really hamper your ability to.... *ahem* conduct diplomacy with him.

I'd still prefer to stick to 48 hour turns, especially as we're heading into a week and a half of holidays and travel.

But the Sultan resides in the United States...so for me to conduct diplomacy with Vainglory requires a significant lag between statements, as we are generally sleeping while the other is reading our message. This entails a significant slowdown of any communication, and resorting to 12 hour turns would render any cooperation with someone on the other side of the world almost impossible. A similar situation exists between the US and Europe, although the problem is not as bad.

It is not as if we are communicating by phone, either. This is a series of letters, written back and forth, each of which needs time to be crafted...proposals need to be considered and thought over...12 hr turns do not allow enough time for this discussion to take place, given the time zone constraints of the game.

In my opinion, if you go to 12 hour turns, you may as well dispense with the diplomacy all together. Coordination would be all but impossible.

You haven't considered how long it takes Prussians to link up words into sentences...

You see, fellow Europeans? With this sort of slander of the great Germanic nation by its southern expatriates, what choice did we have but to integrate them into the country to assuage their inferiority complex?

Also, 24 hour turns would be too fast, as was pointed out, because it takes so long for correspondence to make round trips.

Brave words, talking of inferiority with that Low German accent! How far the House of Zollern has fallen...

The Emperor of Austria spends so much time around Hungarians and dirty Slavs, and so frequently speaks their languages, it's a wonder true Germans don't mistake him for one of them!
