WOK 5 Speed Game???

Post by **Dameon** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 10:03 pm

OK try this one on for size.

I'm looking ahead to the future when I am going to have access to my computer full time again (we get DSL up in the mountains, amazing!) and I was considering what type of game to open first. I am not ready to dedicate the time or such to running an X-Game, but I was debating the possibility of bringing back the speed game to WOK. I don't think I have ever run a WOK 5 speed game, but there is no reason that one couldn't be successful on say, a two day turnaround between turns. I am posting this so I can get a general feel on if anybody would be interested in such a game, or if I should just open a regular WOK 5 game with my typical 4-5 day turnaround.

It's no big deal to me either way, since running a normal WOK 5 game probably takes less time for me than actually playing in one, believe it or not. I just as always want to please all you WOKkers out there, so let me know!!!

Oh and FYI- I'm looking to start such a game probably in early December or thereabouts. I MAY also open a WOK 4 beginner game at that time since the demand seems to be rising about now, we will have to see how the timing works out for me.

I'd be willing to join in your speed game once you get it up and running.

Lately, except for Eg and Raw, moist games are a 5-6 day turn around which seems to drag on for months.

I'd like to see a game that runs every 3 days at the most, preferably 2.

Of course turn 1 should still be a 5-6 day start for diplomacy but after that, let's rumble!!

Oh, and no extensions what-so-ever!

That would make it interesting especially if TK decides to join in on the fun.

One response? I'd hate to think only AF is interested in joining my next WOK 5 game, but unless I can get more feedback from the community on how long they would like to see turnarounds, I may not run it at all due to lack of interest! C'mon folks!

If I have to Nick, I'll play against myself or better yet maybe this is my chance to challenge ThinKing to a one-on-one matchup.

We both start with 5 provinces and 2 sets of troops.

Order of play toggles back and forth between us each turn.

Winner is the first player to totally RIP the other.

How's that sound?

Hello Dameon,

Sorry man I didn't think you needed any reassuarance.

I've allways enjoyed playing in your games and I would most likely be interested in playing in any new group you might open regardless of the turn around time.

The woods around Nick are on fire and look what he is plotting - a SPEED GAME ?!

*NICK TO THE RESCUE !*

Wow.

How many times do I have to beat you Allister?

There are four of you in the Wheel Of Time game and still I am kicking (after also RIPing Trewqh and Bjorn).

Chalk up 3 VPs for Nesty.

Let's clarify something, you've never really beat me until you have RIP'd me, in which you have never ever done that that I know of.

So there!

Blah!

Such arguments! How about this: everybody who hates TK vs. TK. No, wait, there'd be too many players on the anti-TK team to fit in one game....never mind.....

Anyway yeah SoCal is burning nicely, in fact, the place I work has basically shut down this week so I have lots of spare time. We aren't in any immediate danger up here, the fires are not that close, but a lot of the kids that come here are in areas affected by the fires. It sucks.....but there's nothing that can be done about it. Oh well- anyway I was mainly looking for feedback on the preferred turn around time from prospective players. I'll probably be opening the list in about two or so weeks so keep your eyes peeled!

I figure those Gray Davis supporters simply could not stand the new Governor elect, so they are conducting a "Scortched Earth" policy. They would rather see California burn than have Arnold as Governor.

I believe dealines every MON, WED, FRI morning are probably best. There are still some Kaomarians that only have net access during the week.

I won't play because there is no way I can make the time for it right now. This requires a fairly serious time commitment in getting turn reports from the GM, negotiating and getting the AOF submitted all in about 48 hours. No way will I have time for that until sometime next year.

Don't forget writing those fantastic stories for each turn Bjorn!

I try to give it a high priority, but business and personal matters are quite pressing right now. My goal is to try and write each chapter after the turn but before the next deadline. I try not to give too much away, while still making it at least interesting reading for those not playing.

Saladin · Post by **Saladin** » Thu Oct 30, 2003 2:01 pm

Well you're doing a really great job! I'm always looking forward to the next chapters when i come in at work.

Oh and who ever rips Bjorn in this game and stops this great story will go on my black list!
