Can anyone tell me how fast this game will proceed? How many time do we have to decide what to do when we have received the savegame? How strict are the times of sending?

Judging by the current PTW ISDG, saves can make the rounds anywhere from two to five days. Since we will be playing two games of five teams apiece, I would imagine our turn orbit would fall somewhere near the two day range.

As far as penalties for holding onto the save too long, there was a system set up in the PTW ISDG although it fell by the wayside quite some time ago. From what I see in the UN discussion threads, it loks like the game admins will be monitoring the save transfers to keep the game moving.

To expound on that a little more, we will have a few days between sending our turn and receiving the next one, but playing it goes much faster.

We need to be prepared to receive it, check to see that preconceived plans have not been wiped out by other teams actions, adjust if necessary, and play it as fast as we reasonably can. This usually means at most a day to make decisions, or two days if it's a really massive surprise.

Yes, we'll have to be fast on making decisions.
