I believe that short rounds lead to "timid" politics - after all, one mistake and you're out (with no time to recover). This round the top alliances are actually fighting wars! That doesn't happen as often as it should (IMHO).

Of course this could all be pure coincidence but I believe that it is longer rounds that encourage action - rather than inaction being given as a reason to make rounds shorter.

I voted for 10 weeks.
totally agree
