Any reason for such a long turn timeout?

LongTurn (~24 hour) format has been something I've been interested in for a while. It means people can casually commit, without it taking over their life.

An interesting observation another friend made the other day was that this adds oxygen to the room. We have a WhatsApp channel with all the players in it, and at this point most of the 'action' is the conversation in WhatsApp. It's a pretty diverse array of people in there too, many who know me, but do not know each other.

It's a weird little community, just for fun.

You know people used to play games of chess sending their moves via postcard, right?

Like it was popular.
