12 Hour Rounds

[HighlanderAttack]

I really like the idea--even when I am barely playing games I take turns in the morning and at night--could be a fun setting to speed up tourneys as well

[Dorieus]

With the amount of money you guys bring in each year, it should only be a small fraction of that would cast to implement this. Oh, it make me boil when you say "it costs money" you should have more than enough $$$ for this.

why would CC have enough money for this?

why would they implement features for bludgers to enjoy?

greenoaks, you have a point. but I think premiums might benefit from 12 hour turns too. in which case, going against it is cutting off the nose to spite the face.

perhaps it could be an option for 6-8 player games where waiting times can be days...

Currently there are the 24 hour, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 minuet game round options. Is there a reason there should not be a 12 hour option for those who want a slightly quicker game?

It should be available to:
Freemiums
Premiums alike

I want the option to have slightly quicker game even though I can't afford premium, I am sure many other people feel the same way about it. Can someone look into making a 12 hour round?

i'd personally not use it, but i'm not against it.

the reason i would not use it, because sometimes it happens that you have a really busy evening + you sleep at night and + you have school early in the morning so that's easily 12 hours of not being able to log in, which may result in missing turns.

i could imagine some people liking to use it, especially on 8 (or 12, in the future) player games, especially when they have access to mobile internet on their laptop.

Implement, but for premiums only to spite the OP.

I didn't know you had a spiteful side, squishyg.

Hehe, I have an everything side once in awhile

But as a rule I don't like arguments based on entitlement. "you guys have so much money that we deserve more options" and so forth.

I've been a premium twice.

That being said, this suggestion is a good one for both premiums and freemiums. Premiums get speed games. 12 hour games are NOT speed games; for speed games, you have to literally hang out at the computer while the game is in progress.

This would fall along the same line as 1v1 games, freestyle, which freemiums already take advantage of.

there should be more options for premiums, as it is there is only unlimited games that most premiums buy it for but if more premium oriented options become available maybe freeloaders like yourself will actually buy premium.

12 hrs is a good idea but it probably would result in more missed turns but 16 hr options would be better

I usually play in the morning, at lunch, when I get home and before I go to bed; 4 times a day.

The problem with a 12 hour game is if I sleep late one morning, can’t take the time to play that morning and by the time lunch rolls around it is more than 12 hours.

When people post things like this, it makes me say: then you don't have to play. People who want to can.

Having options is never bad. If it was a change from 24 to 12, I would vehemently oppose it. But it's only an option.

are you a dog?

no offence meant.

[HardAttack]

Personally, I wouldn't use this option. With 24-hour turns, some days it's tough enough to log in once, and with 12-hours, you'd need to log in every 12 hours. For those with plenty of time on their hands, I can see this being an attractive option, but I'd probably never play a game with 12-hour turns.

When considered sleep time for an avarage man/woman is 7-8 hours, 12 hours turn limit will put stress over ppl forcing them to login to the site every possible, and still there will be real huge occurances of missed turns. To help (not intentionally) number of missed turns to increase is to make way more exploitting of this option for the farmers, and what openings for bad use for free style players this wud brought is another matter to think about.

I dont like this option at all. It is not well suit for team play is another matter...Most of team game players will no way like of this option but only is sutable (njoyable) for multiplayer games and 1v1s.

On the other hand, i am someone who hates restrictions, from this way of looking to the matter maybe this option can be brought up but again i dont think this option will be offering to a huge portion of all members, but there will be a small portion of folks using and njoying of it.

I agree with you here.

However, I'm not sure that many people will even play it for the reasons mentioned. How many people can actually guarantee that they will be on every 12 hours. I think there would be many more missed turns and lots of sitter action going on (which can be a situation that is abused).

I would rather see them implement some longer round length options than shorter, as I and others have proposed in another suggestion. I see more benefit in that than this. But hey, if they did them both at the same time, I wouldn't be opposed.

[squishyg]

I have no issue with the suggestion, but I doubt I'd ever use this setting. Unless there was a weekend "pause" button, but that suggestion has rightfully been trashed multiple times.

[Madwacker]

The current Round Length times do not have enough middle road. They start at 24 hours and jump immediately to 5 minutes.

I would like to see a nice middle ground of say 12 and/or 6 hours of Round Length, so that more turns can be taken during the day and keep a nice game going. I hate waiting sometimes 2-3 days for my turn in a 4 player game when the other players take that 24 hours to heart. The game also loses my interest because it takes so long. On the flip side I don't want them to be speed games either.

Maybe also allow paying players to set Custom Round Lengths?
