Yep, it still takes too long :-)
Every time I play it I knock more corners off and it goes a bit faster, but
it's been more than a year since I *wrote those changes down* . . .

Multiple refs are an absolute must. I would not try to run it without at
least two helpers. When people are coming into the game regularly (or
upgrading ships) you need a full-time sutler; once fights become serious,
you need at least one full-time combat assistant. Two helpers is a minimum
- more is better. A loud-voiced Shouter of Turn Phase Info is a great
blessing!
I hit the Halloween store this year on Nov. 1 and stocked up on extra
costume stuff to loan to assistants, including one very cute "little girl
pirate" outfit . . . since sometimes assistants bring their own
next-generation assistants!

| Mr. Jackson, I believe I have an idea that may help. Bear in mind, this is a new face, first post, longtime lurker. My idea: when new players show up, give them command some of the GM (legitimate military-"soldiers," if you will-- EG Imperial (...) (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
