Do you like the new, lower turn numbers or do you want to go back to the old turn numbers

Leave them the way they are, I like the lower numbers.

I like the awesome factor of being past turn 50. Lets go back to the old numbering system.

Should next turn be Turn 6 or Turn 52? I'm half tempted to go back to the old numbering system, but I want to know what everyone thinks before I change anything.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Apollyon, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

the lower turn numbers work a little better, given the 20 year time-jump and the effects it had on national sizes, infrastructure, and the size and condition of militaries.  A lot of states that were pretty savaged in T44/45 were able to rebuild back to full capacity by the jump  (some of the players didn't really do that, but, hey, that's why this isn't a novel-people make their own decisions.)

Turn 52.   

Since to me, I'm in turn 51.

I like the feel of continuity, despite the time jumps.
