Concise description: a button on speed freestyle games where if you press it your name goes on a list on the screen that says they want to skip one minute.

Specifics:
a minute is not skipped until ALL the players have voted to do so

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
it will get rid of those boring periods of times where people wait until the last second to anything because they lose an advantage by moving first. =D> =D> =D> =D>

Don't quite understand why this is needed?? :?

I am not sure how it will improve the site by getting rid of the boring periods, but i do think it could be useful if you had like a 1 hour speed freestyle game. It would give all of the players a chance to have a break. But if this was going to be implemented as an idea of a 'break' it would have to be more like 5 minutes and not 1 minute. ;)

You have played 8 speed freestyles in your time on CC, all doodle assassins, and all probably lasted 1 round.
I dont think you're in any position to comment.

I dont think any specific name should go on a list - or it could work against them, but maybe just a "1/5 people would like to skip 1 minute." or something.

lol


yes SKIP a minute not add a minute...
i say your name in your color goes on a list o the screen so people can see who hasnt put their name on and then once ALL plaers have (otherwise it could be a disadvantage for some people and cause for secret alliance) it skips one miute it the turn...


also... i think the option to skip a minute should be taken away after a minute and a half is left in the game or some period of time like that.
