Lommy is for doubles as well.

She says it's better to set a DL of sorts after which the turn just skips than make it just one round.

I'd add, that you could switch places with someone if the timetable suddenly looks pretty bad for you. But having a deal on a DL would help setting one's priorities right. (Yeah, I know that concerns myself probably more than many others... and that's one reason I'm saying it.)

I could run two games again, that worked out ok.

Or, providing this game doesn't take another six months, we could get another game started right after it ends to satisfy your artistic urges.

You must have a very loyal computer. (was the last WW game an exception, then?)

I don't mind writing or drawing, so you can toss me around to make everyone happy. I like the DL idea, and the double game could work as well. For the DL, maybe give a week for each? Or even less for writing, since, well, how long can it take you to write a sentence? (unless there are pigs and Lannisters and hippie aliances and Alien all in one place... )

Only thing is, I'm away for a week in the first half of April, and I don't want to hold up the game. So if my turn comes around that time I might have to switch with someone. (though realistically you never know how fast the PT will go (hey, that rhymes!). Either it takes forever or I don't check the thread often enough to see all the names italicised...)

It used to be that DL was three days for either and in times past, it even worked that way (mostly!). Of course, something might get in the way, but at least for the sentence, that is more than enough and should be enough also for the drawing. If somebody is really busy, of course, it can be prolonged, but generally, if we said that it should be the goal to have it done in three days... I mean, once you really sit down to that and draw, how long does it take you? An hour? (Okay, three for me, but that is because I am a) slow, b) usually working with a scanner which is also not the fastest ever, c) slow. Oh, I said that already.)

As for that, I don't care if we have single or double PT, but I think it doesn't matter whether we have a fast single PT and then another fast single PT or a long double PT. The worst thing that could happen would be a single PT that takes as long as a double PT. Now that would be something bad.

I normally use more time on the sentence, than the drawing. Anyways I think deadlines will be a good idea.
