For a long time we've had 5, 7, or 14 day settings for turns in all the games. My friends and I have long talked of a need for 3 day setting. Lot's of folks do a turn a day. I don't even look at games set to 7 or 14 days and I think 5 should be default. Low and behold suddenly we have a 28 day setting. 4 player games of KingMe could take 3 years to finish. Put together a 10 player BlueMax and there's a chance a 25 year-old could die of old age before the game ends. Why 28 days instead of 3? I could even see 2 day settings.
There is a 3 day option in league play, but I've rarely seen it used, as the risk of automove kicking in and skewing games is a bit high. I've not seen 5 day games very often in either single or league play either for similar reasons.
I generally create and play 7 day games and leagues as that gives adequate time for folks to get in a move. 14 days is a bit too long for my tastes and I'd never join a 28 day game
The simpler solution if you want more action is to create, and join, more games. Back before I was married and had twin boys to look after I often was maxed out at 250+ games going at a time, which insured a pretty constant stream of daily moves. Sadly, I can't afford the time for that anymore
