Conquer Club

• If a player misses two turns in a speed game they should be auto-kicked.

• You join a speed game to play a quick game. I hate sitting waiting while people forget about their speed game or are playing too many of them at once.
• If someone looses a connection during a speed game then everyone else is forced to waste 15 minutes of their time.

I would not like to see a shortening of the 5 minutes, but I cannot see a legitimate reason why someone would miss more than one turn unless they are not coming back.

I do realize that there are computer situations, but either they are resolved in a couple of minutes, or it will take time. Why should the other player(s) have to wait? The worst that would happen is someone would lose a game. So, basically you are weighing someone getting kicked off sooner than they might wish, versus making the other player(s) wait around an extra 10 minutes. (and note, I was recently kicked out of a speed game, about the only time I have evern been kicked out of a game ... I had a computer issue. The extra time did not help me, it just made my opponent wait extra)

The main thing this will do is help ensure that people play speed games when they really have the time... and STRONGLY discourage attempts to use missed turns as "strategy".

CoolHand_79 wrote:Please note this is note at all recommended for "casual games" The rules are fine there. This is for speed games. For instance, I jumped in a 4 player speed game at 18:57. This game is still going and it is 21:30! Red missed 4 turns now. Green missed 4 turns. Although green missed 3 in a row so got kicked. In my opinion this absolute kills the "speed" game feel. If I wanted to casual I would have played it.

See for yourself at game #4371940

This happens to me often.. 2 turns total in a speed game is more then enough time. If you can't work within that you should be playing a casual game. Just my thoughts. Please feel free to elaborate.

Cheers,

I took a fresh look at the postings. The only place I have sympathy for your idea is where people just give-up and quit a speed game half way through. To that end I'd say your better off lobbying for a "resign" button.

Sad thing is, if the change was made in a few months someone would post: "Kick after ONE missed turn in Speed Games"

The missed turn problem is annoying at times but so is life.
