I enjoy a fast paced game (probably more than most). I always run the games on Fast. Even in the previous games I would "start over" until I started with a tribe that included at least 2 runners. Thankfully, this time I was actually able to select all runners from the start.

This means I enjoy playing fast, and seeing projects/goals completed quickly. It does not mean I want instant gratification, or the answers handed to me immediately.

I think the point Arnie is trying to make, is that if you aren't taking the time and effort to play the game, versus finishing the game, then you are really missing the whole point of casual games.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I disagree with him on one point. I started noticing this trend way back with the release of VV3.
