GM Seth's request for his group 01 got me thinking of a new X-game, not too complicated so here we go:
Once the players are all in, I run turn 00, send out reports and update the map. I then request AOF's for turns 01 and 02. I run both turns, send out turn 01, update the site for turn 01 and ask for AOFs for turn 03 and so on and so forth.
Once turn 01 is run, no new AOF's for turn 02 will be accepted, same holds true for all the combinations.
Bjorn helped with this one a bit, so, give him credit too
What do you all think?

As Bjorn said when he first mentioned this idea...
Aside from that, I think it'd be hopelessly impractical, having to send in orders for provinces you may or may not take the next turn? Trying to attack from a province which you don't own yet?
Oh, but the possibility to RIP a player before they can react to two turns of attacking....
...Maybe someone who has a better record of running turns on time would be better suited?Only Kaomarians committed to getting orders in by the deadline need apply.

Hey, I have an idea for a new X-Game.
How about the GM runs the turn, but he doesn't tell the players which version of the WOK Manager he is running --- the players have to figure it out!
Oh wait, that's already been done..........

LOL!
Al, you could make another option in the WoK 5 manager, as well as "hide OOP" there could be "hide version number" you could randomly change version each turn as well, just to keep the players on their toes. Of course, it wouldn't be compatible with version 3.3, because of the different file size thing, but who'd want to use an up to date manager anyway?
