I'm sure deadbeating and players waiting is a problem for more than just me and i believe it would make the game experience a lot better/

already suggested, look at the sticky "to-do list"

I dont now if any 1 had this ideia before but what i purpose is sametinhg like this:

Possibility of chosing the time between etch turn expecialy if it's an RT(More 1 type of game, Assasins/Terminator, etc...)

Sometinhg like 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4min and finaly 5 min.

If the time passes and the turn as not been taken the player misses is turn........this way RT's are realy RT's...........

Sea........hope u all "hunderstude" my sugestion!!!

Hey guys,

i don't know if anyone else had this idea before, but i thought about something like Quick Conquering.

The idea is that you only have a couple of minutes for each turn.
Maybe there could be time limit of maybe 10 minutes for a turn, and if a player is moving, he has to do it in maybe 60 seconds. Deadbeat rules would apply, and so you could use that for RT games.

What do you guys think about that?

Suggestions: Clock (for the web page) and Fast Game

In Fast Game the host set a time when the game starts. When the game starts it's 30mins for the next round to start. They get 3 chances on missing a turn. This game can be played with any game type. The clock comes in use because the timing of when the game starts.

That's on the To Do list.

RT game type

so instead of clicking Freestyle or sequential you select RT which means the game is freestyle but each round is limited to 1 hour which is good because you can play quicker games and it wouldn't be too diffucult to do.

Is there any way to designate a game as rt? I joined a public game that I didn't realize was organized as rt and felt bad when I walked away for two hours. I like to keep play moving as fast as possible, but don't always have time for rt. An additional filter on game finder would be helpful to determine the speed of play.

RT's are best set up as private games with passwords.

But we do have Speed Games on the to-do list which will solve the problem of RT deadbeats.

I think there should be an option on the game finder/start game menu to start or join an RT game, (like where you choose the numbers of playes and style of play) as you dont know whether everyone is playing rt til you join, then its too late!!!

already on the to do list

For the third time, I have joined a game to play a casual, multi-day, bit of slo-conquer, only to find that the other players created it as a realtime game.

Now, I do my best to play RT when this happens, but sometimes it is impossible. End result; I'm frustrated because I don't want to detract from other folk's desired game play experience and the rest of the players are frustrated because their expectations weren't met.

Seems like an easy enough fix would be to have a "realtime" checkbox in the "create a game" UI, then have an RT indicator in the "join a game" and checkbox in the "find a game" UIs.

Please?

by **spiesr** on Sun Apr 29, 2007 12:55 pm

people just need to make private games for real time...

by **AK_iceman** on Sun Apr 29, 2007 1:22 pm

Speed games are on the to-do list.

And if people want to make a RT game, then make it a private game so people don't join not expecting it to be RT.

My suggestion:

When creating a game you should have the option to specify that it is a RT game.

An RT game will have much shorter turns eg 10 mins or 15 mins as opposed to the current 24 hours.

Speed games are on the to do list please check to make sure you ahve a new suggestion before posting.

Christ Almighty! How many of these threads do we have now? I suggest we have a big sign at the top of this forum saying "Please look at the To-do list before suggesting anything". When was this first suggested? - must have been almost a year ago now. :roll:

Have you seen how long the to-do list is? Lack does amazing stuff on this site, but he isn't superhuman. I think the system works well enough for now, I've played lots of great realtimes without any problems.

When this is implemented it will be great, but spamming the forum with threads about it isn't going to achieve anything.

That kinda doesn't work.
