Deferred Troops Revamp

[Dibbun]

Concise description: No more rewards for missing turns.

• Missing turns to get an advantage is absolute horseshit and should stop.

Specifics/Details:

• No more deferred troops
• Teammate does not get troops/cards upon deadbeating
• Card is awarded at end of turn if a territory was conquered, even if time runs out

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Sick of cheaters who use loopholes to exploit game mechanics.

[Campin_Killer]

Agree with #1 and #3.

#2, not so much, if you had an RL issue come up

[Lindax]

Kind of agree, but it may create more account sitting abuse.

Let's get that account sitting feature first, then implement the suggested changes.

losing a turn is never a good thing. if you allow people to get an advantage of missing turns, you're playing badly.

It is a very rare situation when missing a turn is an advantage, if the opponent is competent.
That being said, one of your points is definitely relevant:

[*]Card is awarded at end of turn if a territory was conquered, even if time runs out[/list]

This really needs to be corrected, at least for nuclear spoils. It just doesn't make sense to
allow it to continue.

i completely agree with woodruff here you should get a card of you took a region no matter what period..

No way! This would completely ruin doodle earth games where much of the game is won and lost from the ability to end your turn.

While it would be excellent for sequential games..

For Freestylers - not so much.. Especially the 8 man Classic Escalating where people use the last 10 seconds to conquer 20 terts and still have time to end..If you implemented that suggestion, they would get a card no matter what..which isnt right

[Robert The Red]

Quite right you should not get deffered troops if you miss your turn, that will encourage us all to take our turns and keep the game flowing.

Deadbeat and you're out. Keep it simple. We have 24 hours to play. If that isn't long enough, most people have sitters. If you're just not into the game, don't join.

I don't have a sitter, I have missed turns, I would be happy to accept this.

You certainly couldn't do this for speed games. Oftentimes games can take several hours to fill up, and sometimes people don't hear the beep that the game has started or are going to the bathroom or grabbing some food or doing some sort of chores and miss the first turn. I've done it plenty of times, but that doesn't mean I'm not into the game. Also, if you consider running out of time deadbeating, then a single 3 second lag could eject 6 or 7 players from a doodle game.

Big fat no from me here

This should be available as a special game-play option e.g: "Compulsory turns" .
No point forcing these changes on people. If they wish to abide by these settings they can.
I believe the same can be said about many of the suggestions.

Personally, I would use this selectively.

Kind of agree, but it may create more account sitting abuse.

Here, here! ...keep things from getting messy.

I'd be good with that.

More often than not the game I start will have that option ticked...
