Timecounter faster?
Most teams are able to increase their hours from 100 to ~130-170 hours... only legoland seems to have some problems...

what do you think about making the counter a little bit more aggressive/faster (anyway you all know there are still no consequences if a team goes down to 0 hours...)

From the beginning of 2000 BC...
a) dont change the counter!
b) give only 3 new hours (instead of 4) every turn
c) give only 6 green hours (instead of 7) every turn
d) give only 3 new hours and only 6 green hours

see the timecounter

No! We need to save up our time for when the turns become really hectic!

Are the citizens of Legoland allowed to vote ?
If yes, I vote for a slower counter

Perhaps if everyone else racks up hour after hour while one team always loses hours, it might be fair to give more hours to that team.

I voted to leave things alone because no one knows how much time we will all need when things get complicated.

I voted for no change. While people may be stockpiling hours now (except maybe us...), they'll probably get eaten up pretty quickly when things get more complicated in the game. Every hour will count!

I agree, let's see what happens in a few months. If anything it will make it easier to compare.

Speaking of which, how much longer until you finish playing your turn?

I vote to leave it.

(First team to hit 200 wins. Right?)

Also - I haven't studied the actual times to and from the other teams, but is this is what is causing Loegoland issues? They may simply be getting it at an inconvenient time. Will reviewing their green hours help?

Or are they just slow?

(one ..... block ..... here. ... second .......block .....here ....no....wait ... a .... minute ... maybe .... here. .... )

Nope, that (green hours) was not the problem. The problem has already been solved and you shall not experience any delays from us in the future (I mean, delays longer than those of other teams, that is).

Sorry for that... it was an internal issue I would prefer rather not commenting on.

Dang - don't you hate when that happens!! For me it was always one of the quarter round pieces, but then a dinosaur would come charging through and trash the whole thing, so it wasn't really that important.

(Vondrack - didn't mean to pry. Glad it is all worked out. )
