why do you enjoy torturing yourself? if you want multiple games, just do multi-day.

a bit more presssure can be fun though

all it does is divide your attention. it more than likely negatively impacts your performance.

Depends what type of game it is you can play at least two scrabble games at once easily

Map size/shape does affect this, true.

I love to play multiple real-time games at once. In auto-games, players are usually not very good, so in order to increase the challenge, I play 3 games at once often (after I realized 4 was really hard to do because of timing).

autogames 4 at a time, everything else is unfair for my opponents

3 at a time is pretty standard for me, it doesn't take that long to do turns, I'm not sure what other players are doing half the time in their games. It's rarely a problem, what else am I supposed to do between turns? :P

If I start reading the forums or something then I get distracted, I'd rather keep my focus by playing more RT games. Just remember to have the sound on ;)

Saying that, more recently now I have a lot of Multi-day games going, I tend to just play 1 RT and do my Multi-day turns inbetween turns, that works quite well too :)

Not long ago I used to play RT diplo and some RT team ROR game at once. It changed though since I have too many MD's running - now that's a torture.

I'm playing two right now, it's not that hard.

Too many MDs, I hear that... :(

I miss RT games now, I might phase back to them, at least you know after an hour or 2 they are over...
