You're wrong Paddy. Rounds are quicker

ATM
8 players x 24 hours = 8 days

what is proposed is
8 players * 6 hours/player = 48 hours or 2 days

He meant it would last longer than my inaccurate projection of 44 hours.

lol yeah axectly what chap said, i didnt mean longer than current seq. round max, just that it would last longer than 44 hours ^_^

chapcrap, my quesiton then is...

what is player 1 wait 6 hours and hasnt started.

then player 2 plays at 6 and half hours or something.
player 3 can now start, lets say player 2's turn took 5 mins, so 3 starts at 6 hours and 35 mins.

now player 4 can start, and assumin player 3 took 5 mins, player 4 starts at 6 hrs 40 mins.
then player 5 can start, assuming player 4's turn takes 5 mins, at 6hrs 45 mins.

lets say he ends at 6 hrs 50 mins, and player 6 starts then.
Lets say player 6 takes 5 and ends, at 6hrs. and 55 mins. player 7 starts.

all the meanwhile player 1 is at the grocery store or something.

if player 7 ends at 7 hours, everybody BUT player one has gone. Does player 1 then get two turns? what if he waits 6 more hours, can player two start again? or does the round not progress until after player 1 starts, then the next begins with player 2, and player one has get moved to the back of the rotation?

how to proceed from there, i guess, i where my confusions are~

the other players dont have to take their turns.

if they do they choose to give player A a shot at a double turn. however, they also get a chance to take back to back turns by playing before player A has moved, breaking/reducing his bonuses.

From what I get from this is that player 1 has 24 hours to play. During that time, players 2,3 and 4 can play at 6 hour increments.
So players would only be able to play like this

Player 1 starts
Player 2 after 6 hours
Player 3 after 12 hours
Player 4 after 18 hours
Player 5 after 24 hours
Player 6 after 30 hours
Player 7 after 36 hours
Player 8 after 42 hours

But all players will have 24 hours to take their turn. So if player 8 does not take his turn straight away, the 42 hours can become 60 hours. It would have to go like freestyle so player 8 will always get a turn before player 1 can play a second time. Or should player 1 be able to play twice before player 8 has even had a go?

player 1 can start his turn 6 hours after player 8's turn has started

So players 1, 2 and 3 can play 2 rounds before player 8 has even played once. I like it. Should make team games a hell of a lot of fun.

YES!!

The more this is talked about, the more fun I think it will be.

[skychaser]

Wow. You guys addressed things I couldn't think of. I guess a better name must be given to the mode.

Staggered

not sure who the genius was who came up with that name was but it really describes the way the turns are taken.

[skychaser]

Yep. I think it's a great name too. Some admin could change the topic title to the new name I guess.

[chapcrap]

You could change it yourself.

But, since you're willing, I'll go ahead and change it for you.

[skychaser]

I didn't know I could change. Thank you.

[skychaser]

Since people are reviewing some modes and the community is active, can Doomyoshi review this one? Lol.

[Fazeem]

I like this idea
