I know that there are many people here who have the game, yet despite my best efforts, I have not yet played one (one!) sins game since I bought it. We really should get together and play a game. There was a patch released real recently too if thats any extra incentive.

If you remember back to the days when AmPm got everybody on vent to buy the game on impulse, you'll also remember that games took a minimum of 4 hours or so with just a few people.

Depends on how big a system you play and how good the players are. Most games only take 1-3 hours

It really does only take 1-2 hours if you know what you are doing and don't turtle the whole game.

AmPm is correct. If you know what the fuck you are doing the game won't take long. But if all you do is turtle and build the fucking Maginot line on 3 planets then yeah the game is slow.

Best way to get a game going is to find some people and set up a direct IP game to play. I haven't played any other way. Lemme get chaos to reinstall it (because his computer fails) and then his minions will reinstall it then we can have games. If you want a majority of people to do something then have either Chaos or AMPM to do it.

Timewater?

The game is fun but depending on how one goes about playing determines the length. Play with puddin, he takes over half the system is like 20 mins.
