[GO] Speed Games / Varying Turn Time Limits Round Lengths

[molestar]

Mod Edit: This is a mass thread of almost every single speed game or real time thread ever created. Since it is very unlikely that every single option will be implemented into the site, they have been compiled here. Should you find yourself desiring a specific time limit, please post in this thread. It is more than likely already in here.

For simplicity's sake, suggestions similar to the below post have also been merged.

Official Suggestion
Concise description:

• Allow users to manually select a wide range of round limits.

Specifics/Details:

• Include 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minute real-time/speed game options
• Include some standard of customization (drop down menu or fill in box) in the overall range of 1 min to 24 hours

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

• Increase user activity
• Time limits can be custom made to fit your needs
• Other unspecified benefits

If you find any other threads that need to be merged, please inform a Suggestions Moderator -JK

This is an excellent idea lackattack....probably not real easy to implement but it would solve a host of problems.....good one MoleSTAR

By the way, some private games didnt start due to lack of players. I know so much players want real time games, which can be sequential ones and have no injustice, games more alike the board game. Well, my suggestion is to make a list of non-premium players interested, and the hour we can probably join if a premium player request. Obvious, to non-premium players, its need an open slot.

I, for example, will probably join these games if request GMT 11:00 to 12:00 (I can play until GMT 15:00 or sort of). Pm me with invite / password.

Other interested players, put the hour you can play real time.

Maybe this has been suggested, but how bout an option where a player must take their turn within like, 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, for like a fast paced game?

suggested and being programmed

[nhulbert]

Turn limits. Those that are creating games should be able to choose to have 15 minute turns, 1 hour turns, 12 hour turns, 1 day turns, 2 day turns, or 3 day turns. It would be much easier to have a sequential game going if it was 15 minute turns, and it would be better, in my opinion, to be able to have 3 day turns with people that I know will actually play, because sometimes I can't access my computer over the weekend.

i fully agree. I think that having the option for turn length will drastically cut down on deadbeats and i think it will enhance game play in general

[Romber]

Yea thats a great idea. I would host lots of game and make 12 hour turns. (as alot of people here have school they have to go to.)

[max is gr8]

But our school has banned it

[Romber]

No im saying 12 hour turns. School only lasts 6 hours even if you add in sports (2 hours) you still have plenty of time to get on and play.

[max is gr8]

In the morning no way i'm barely ready as it is

[thegrimsleeper]

This is another one of those things that lack has promised us, and we're just waiting for him to get around to it. Much as I want to see it, with all the games I've got open now that I've forked over my $20, I can wait.

[nhulbert]

Oh, I had no idea he was already planning it. Cool.

[Romber]

Give him time. He is the only site admin (that I know of) Managing a game like his can get stressful. Espescially with a huge population growth in a matter of 2 months.

[max is gr8]

I would be a moderator so he doesn't have to filter the threads but he said no he isn't that desperate or stressed he would have said yes if he was stressed out

[thegrimsleeper]

I would be a moderator... but he said no he isn't that desperate

[nhulbert]

I see now that this topic has already been brought up. Sorry.

[Romber]

That would be a bad idea. You spam to much to be an effective moderator. And quit bragging about that sort of stuff. This is like the third time you have brought it up.

[Marvaddin]

Nothing against you, max, but I wouldnt leave the moderator job to a kid of 11 years.

GRRRRRR
Ah but i am going on holiday soon for a weekend 2 days without spam
And how many people would believe me if i said i was 20 On other sites loads of people would believe that.

[johnnyrotten]

Please can the time limit be shortened for turns on sequentials! If you get stuck with a couple of people who end up taking about 15-20 hours to go, then it can be up to 5 days or even more before you go again!

[Banana Stomper]

Its good to have the 24 hour time limit, i understand that this game is not such a commitment to all who log on and enjoy the conquering, but i think it would be good to also have the option to have games formatted to fit a slightly more antsy group of players. A new option, namely time limits for moves would be a great addition to conquer club. Some of us like to play our games quickly without the wait of days upon days. What do you all think? Fast lane baby!

[Hoff]

I'll just copy and paste what i said in General discussion.

I like the fast lane.....

So yea, i think a "real time" option would be a pretty useful tool.

[Banana Stomper]

i guess there are some limitations to this option. for example a 4 hour time limit could leave someone in a difficult possition, say the person before them moves at 4, then they must move by 8. Perhaps games of this type could have some sort of down time during the early mornings so that time passing would not count toward the time limit for the move. Just some suggestions be thrown out there.

[Black Jack]

I woud not mind having a 12-hour time limit... as an option.
