when one click "ok" in the popup notifification ("speed game is ready"), it redirects/focus on the game

That's a great idea! And I could make it happen only if there are no other waiting speed games.

That's right, you can't see your own games on the Join A Game tabs. I'll add something in the Game Finder to select all speed games with 1 click on Monday.

Speed Games have added a popular real-time element to Conquer Club since they became a feature in 2007. However, Speed Games haven't always lived up to their name. They can sometimes drag on for hours where you spend more time waiting than playing. This REVAMP is designed to address the main sources ...

Thanks for all the feedback! Looks like "Always half of the round length" is the most popular option. Those who want to have enough time will still have it. Those who don't want enough time (i.e. 1 minute players) will have that too!

Hopefully in time for christmas, but no promises!

Hola,

I'm currently working on this suggestion: Add more Time Options for Speed Games . Speed games are often anything but speedy, and so I plan to allow flexible round lengths from 5 minutes to 1 minute. I'm wondering what to do about the extra time given when you eliminate someone. Since the ...

I'm currently working on this

I'm leaning towards enabling all options:

• 5 minutes
• 4 minutes
• 3 minutes
• 2 minutes
• 1 minute

Notch another year in Conquer Club's belt! We're just hours away from our official Birthday!

Unfortunately the game log stopped recording information for turns taken during a period of 4 hours last night, from 2011-11-30 19:20:00 to 2011-11-30 23:20:00 . The game log data is gone for good and cannot be recovered. The problem stemmed from the fact that we recorded the 2,147,483,647th log ...

Purely out of interest , does this now mean that any member can start a tournament , request an entrance fee and award prizes ?

Even if it isn't gambling, you'd better check the Tournament Rules first.

Although I don't see any conflict between the Conquer Cup and our rules, I updated the guidelines as follows to make it clear:

This is a casual gaming site, not a serious one. If you want to bet money or "real-world items", then you'll have to find another site.
Wagering CC points is also not ...

Yeah, we'll still try to create a new record for something like that

The Cup has started... good luck to all participants!

I mostly play tourneys for the last few years, so if I have to start paying for entering those after already spending 200 bucks (in my currency) a year for membership, then I guess I'm going to be off this site long before my membership actually ends in 2013 somewhere.

The Conquer Cup is purely ...

UDPATE

To make sure that the cup fills quickly, I downsized it from 6 player games to 5 player games. The prizes and the rest of the setup remain the same, but there are now 625 participants and the odds of winning have doubled! If you are undecided about participating, now is you last chance to ...

will the Ipad be mailed to australia free of charge if someone from here wins the tournament?

is the $50 gift voucher transferrable to those of us outside of the USA?

We will ship the iPad to wherever you are, free of charge.

If for some reason you cannot use the gift voucher where you live ...

UPDATE

I corrected the wording about prizes (Finalist vs Semi-Finalist etc...)

UDPATE

I added 30 rounds to the existings options, based on public feedback

Thanks for the feedback. I have added the 30 rounds to the existings options since that is what almost everyone wants :D

Limit it so draws can only be offered after games that exceed round 100? Im pretty sure that wouldn't encourage abuse :-s

Very good point - perhaps we should reconsider vote ...

about 1.5 hours. I took the alert down when I woke up

Yes, the database had to "warm up"

This morning at CC Time: 2011-09-23 05:00:00 we performed an upgrade of the database software to the next major version. This should help improve performance.
