This means somewhere between 40 and 60 weeks. 40 weeks should be the absolute max. I would advocate for 30. The major reason Mercs falls apart so much in the later stages of the game is because it takes so long to finish this game, and turns the entire thing into an emotionally grueling endurance run that's puts off players AND voters. 30 Mercs Weeks is still an extremely long amount of real world time to spend on an online message board game. And it's not enough time to actually learn the game. This isn't me being glib, we had like five or six test cases of new people sucking ass for between 15 to 20 weeks in M4. I get the idea of wanting a shorter mercs but it's an impossible ideal for an actual 'classic' season. It favors veterans so disproportionately you might as well eliminate everyone else automatically. Draftmerx is there for shortish 3 month Mercs games. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:908816853] in Mercenarie...
