Official Game Poll

Instructions: Anyone can and should start a thread in their team forum with this discussion so they can discuss among themselves. Please discuss what game speed you want the MTDG to run on:

• Quick
• Normal
• Epic
• Marathon

Please discuss the pros/cons of each speed, and then decide which game speed will work best for the Civ4 MTDG. This discussion will end no sooner than Sunday (2/19). At that time, if your team has decided on a UN representative, they can come to this thread and cast their vote for their team - just write "Team X votes for Y". Majority wins.

Please excuse this old player's external musings

What exactly does this question mean ??
What are the differences in the options ??
... and is it only relevant to pitbull or does it also effect a pbem game ??

Each of the settings has a different number of turns in the game. Normal is obviously the normal setting, with a quick game having less turns (meaning research and hammer costs are down). Epic is longer than normal (research and hammer costs are higher than normal). Marathon, I believe, takes a normal game for each era.

The settings apply to each game, be it singleplayer, PBEM, or Pitboss.

This poll has chosen NORMAL as the game speed for the Civ4 MTDG. The other teams, Aloha and Innovia, are still welcome to vote.

Another poll down.
