[Rules] Reduce time for subsequent missed turns

[Knight of Orient]

that would be nice to some, but not overallgood....it would throw everything off too.

[N0g]

I agree that sometimes missing turns is beyond control and that is a unfortunate thing, but I would bet that statistics show that the majority of unranked (or any for that matter) players who miss two turns will actually end up missing three. There can't be that many electrical outages that last over 48 hours.

I seem to remember posting a comment in the past about people who miss turns on purpose. I've seen it a lot on no-cards games. I used to really hate those people, but when I thought about it, they aren't gaining anything they wouldn't have gained had they just placed their troops and ended their turns. They only time they gain an advantage is when their opponents expect them to not come back and fail to place adequate defenses. That is, really, the point of their strategy. I just adjust my own strategy and try to ensure I have enough defense until I know for sure they are gone.

How about this:

At the start of the game the creator gives a turn length(which is in the works) and a time bank. Then, if your turn length runs out, you go into your time bank. When your time bank runs out, everyone can vote to drop you from the game. That way, you can miss more than 24 hours, but you can never gain anything from missing a turn. The game doesn't proceed until you take a turn or a kicked. This would allow people who want to play fast games to set it at like, 1 day for turns, and no time bank. You could kick a person after one turn. I think it would allow for missed turns, while not giving any strategical advantage to missing turns.

ok iceboy,,,

shut your fucking trap.

just because you have the title turnemnt director and have a mountain of free time on your hands because u live in alaksa dosnt give u the right to even read my ideas on playing new recruits, let alone reply (along with your other 2655 posts).

This was pretty much why I stopped posting in your very important thread.
Plus I really didnt see anything worth responding to.


Right now I think that there are better solutions in the works for prevention of deadbeats, and for people who miss turns and get extra armies for it. This suggestion isnt one of those that I think would be implemented.

===========================

I posted this in another thread but I'll try it again here:

What if the armies from the missed turns get spread out evenly over all teritories for that person. They only get to place the armies for their current turn.

Most of the problem is not knowing where to defend against a double or triple deployment.

I think this would eliminate most of the tactical advantage of missing a turn.

This is the best idea I have heard so far for the problem of people skipping turns for extra armies.

===========================
The deadbeat problem will be fixed eventually, Wicked had a pretty good idea for it and when it gets worked out a bit, she can post it in the general forum.

I agree something needs to be done about people who skip turns. I like your idea. My ally and I were beating the crap out of 3 enemies and my ally hasn't shown up for 3 turns so now we are barely holding out. If he'd taken his turn we'd have crushed them.

Also he might get eliminated before we even gain control of his armies.

The idea is to make the 2nd and 3rd consecutive missed turn take less than 24 hours each.
I suggest 12 hours each instead of the full 24.
Players waiting to continue a game without waiting 2 more 24 hour days after someone didn't take his/her turn after the first. If someone notices he/she missed one turn, they wouldn't miss a second, and certainly no third. So there's plenty time to redeem ones 'awayness' while not too much time is spent waiting for the deadbeat to play.

NO!

[Simonov]

NO.what if you have to go away for a few days?some people can't spend all their time sitting in front of computer.deadbeaters should be reported and if enough complaints are made banned from the site.

What the f*ck does qft mean? Lazy ass bastards you can't even spell out full words! lol

[Eltherion]

i think it should may be put in game configuration, when you create a new game, an option should be "Missing turn time: 24h · 12h ·"

its a posbility

Quoted For Truth, dumbass.

[J0057]

Ok, first suggestion rejected,
New suggestion was to match Eltherion's An option to play a game with less Missing Turn time, If people join they'd know they'd have to check back every 12 hours at least instead of 24.

It's on Lacks "to-do list".
Check it before you post!

Perhaps it should depend on the amount of games you have completed, or the completed/abandoned ratio.

Dumbass? Why was that necessary? I've never seen QFT so STFU!

[Koronna]

who could afford to check the game every 12 hours? does that mean if you took a turn at 2 pm potentially you might have to get up 2 or 3 in the morning to play the game? no, that would make this game more addictive as it is already...

well no, you'd check the game at 11pm when going to bed then you wouldn't need to check back until the following morning
