That's remarkable. Isn't this a point against those Timeout-fears regarding Ashur Tablet/Liquidation/Villein? Or havn't most of the participants played those cards?

Interesting stats, Kev!

I don't think this one really means anything. If there were 95% of 5-player tables, then it means 4-player tables timeout as often as 5-player tables.

Do you have the % of 4-player tables timing out, and of 5-player tables timing out?

Were there any telling deck archetypes turning up?

I'd suspect that those tables with timeouts may have had a number of vote decks... is there any connection?
In our social games the games that take waaay too long and get nowhere are those with a vote deck without vote-lock and usually vote-jammed by prey or pred (e.g. non-vote deck with 4+ votes as a prey and a number of other votes scattered on the table)
