Wow, that's a really cool idea Gandalf. Though I know there's no way I could survive in such a game

i don't understand the changing of a person to ai if they take too long, wouldn't this eventually devolve into an sp game for everyone? so say someone doesn't get done before you, are they booted out of the game, or forced to take the actions the ai decides for them? and in the case they are forced out of the game, what happens on thier end? 'woops, you took to long, you've been booted.'

on the other hand i do like the musical chairs idea, though maybe set the threshold at a fifth of the players in the game, so for a 15 player game, the last 3 get cut off. i think it would keep any one person from getting thoroughly trounced if they are especially slow, even out the battlefield a bit, so to speak.

Why don't you play a blitz in the IRC channel? That's fast! You can play the game all afternoon... no waiting...
