12 Hour Rounds

[agentcom]

Do you not ever go to sleep for more than a couple hours at a time?

That's like saying nobody has time for the Speed games. For example, I'm in a game that started on the 10th at 3pm and its now the 14th and we've only barely progressed 3 rounds. I like to play more often during the day, but I don't want 5min rounds. So moving the cap down to 6 hours or 2 hours or whatever, would give the players like me not speed games, but faster games with more turns. If when finding a game, that isn't your cup of tea, move on.

You did not understand what he meant. Playing games of 5 minutes, means that you know you'll be right on the computer for the next let's say 2 hours. Is something that you can commit. But if we make a game of 6 hours per round as you suggest, you won't be on the computer all the time, you'll be eating, going out, or whatever you do...
Sleeping takes 8 hours (or should take for everybody). So while you are sleeping, your turn will start and when you get awake you'll have already missed the turn.

12 or 18 Hour Turn Option!! I believe it would be a great addition to CC!!!

Stuff like this should go in the suggestions forum.
If you want to post some idea there please remember to to search to see if it has been suggested before instead of making a new topic. Here are half a dozen versions of this idea people have suggested before, so go bump one of those instead of making a new topic.

I'm more for the 48 hour and 72 hour turns. (Not a joke)

[Dillybarr]

All I can say is, YES!

Maybe this should be in the Suggestions Forum and merged with the thread that is the same idea...

Sounds reasonable lol.

Moved over! I'll let the Suggestions guys merge it into the topic they feel is appropriate

Not a great idea. All it would mean is that more players would end up missing a turn IMO.

Basically There are sites who tried to put another time limits that 24 hours as I read in another risk site I don't play anymore.

They reached the conclusion that many people tend to miss their turns and it was abolished forever.
We have no reason to try something that was tried and failed at another place.

That's why I thought of Staggered Gameplay which gives the chance of faster gameplay while still providing full 24 hours.

I believe that an option when starting a game should be 12 Hour Round Length. This would allow a game to move on a little faster while not being to short a period for most people to check back and take a turn. Six, four or even one or two hour Rounds would not be uncalled for as well, but a trial run of 12 hour rounds would be welcome by many I believe.

This idea has never really got anywhere in past as many people's schedule's regularly have periods of time approaching 12 or more hours where they cannot take their turns.
