It seems like things might flow a lot better without one - at the moment the game (like war) has both periods of excitement and periods of waiting for 8 hours, which together require a substantial re-organisation of one's day.
Yeah, given how fast this is moving I'm thinking of shortening the time limit drastically. How about the first person to call Mondo on something suggests a time limit?
I just called Mondo below. I would say that shortening would be appropriate, except that it would make it extremely hard for people in different time zones to play together fairly. (I'm in the US EST time zone.)
If we opted out of shortening the Mondo time limit, I think we should lengthen the time limit on normal guesses to be commensurate, so that people can get into a rhythm. (An enforced delay on normal turns might also lead to more careful guesses, designed to obtain better information.)
I don't think it should take more than 5 minutes to come up with a valuable guess, and given that people leave their computers sometimes, an enforced delay would likely be an annoyance. I'm in the US EST time zone too. If anybody here isn't, let me know. I'll judge your Mondo guess tomorrow, unless it gets several replies before I leave.
Edit: judged it.
I made my first guess!
Unfortunately, with the way the times worked out, there are outstanding Mondo requests. Since I would win the game if my guess is confirmed, I will purposefully answer the Mondo requests as if it were denied. Normally, I assume that (if we were being careful with the order) I would hear the result of my guess before other players continued.
