Man that always annoys me when I have to go to my games to skip a few games I don't want to take my turn in, then I have to keep going back there. Implement it quick smart...

Next team game of the day would be a useful one

Interesting idea, could be useful. I think I'd use it probably.

Agreed X 100!!!

I could have used this 50 times today. I'm in a Quads Manual game and I'm waiting to hear back from my team on where to deploy. I have to go to My Games each time and select the next game down the list. There has to be an easier way!

:oops: Until this suggestion, I didn't ever notice the link to go to the next game. I always click my games and then the next game I want to play.

Jump to Next Playable Game improvement

Post by vodean »

Concise description:
  • add function to jump to nextplayable game
  • keep old "jump to most urgent playable game" function.
Specifics:
  • This will enable skipping over games, so that if you have to wait for a teammate, you don't have to go to "my games" and then the next game.
  • this will not encourage one-game dead-beaters, because a function will be added to make sure that people who repeatedly miss turns will be given vacations
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • makes site navigation easier
  • makes site more comprehensible

There was another similar suggestion to just allow "skip game". It was a while ago, cannot remember what ever came of it.

Enqueue the turn [Submitted]

Post by Falkomagno »

Enqueue The turn
  • Allows the option "queue", next to Begin turn
Specifics:
  • Queuing the turn, means that if you click that option, the game will no appear when you click the link "jump to your next playable game", but the next in order. Anyway, if you click My games the queued game will appear ready to begin.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • In some games, specially in freestyle, you will prefer to delay the begining of the turn. If this option is implemented, the annoying proccess of go to begin games, and choose the game will dissapear.
  • The ultra-annoying fact of find the game which is desired to delay, over and over again, every time that the link "jump to your next playable game" it's pressed, will dissapear
  • The link "jump to your next playable game." will enhance its utility
  • Where there is a lot of active games, this option it's actually a must, for strategic purpouses

I think there have been similar suggestions asking for the same thing. If I understand this correctly, it seems like a great idea. I'll keep an eye on this one. Doesn't look like it would be that difficult to code.

Cheers, JB ;)

Yes, this has been suggested before, and, when OP was still around, it asked around at one thing people wanted most. This was it

That's a great idea....also for games that you can't think of anything and you decide to take the turns of the other first and then see again this game...

Sounds like the idea has some merit. Any further discussion?

no further discussion needed, it's a great idea and would really come in handy for heavy team players who are waiting on teammates to discuss a game.

I truly think this could be moved to Submitted already. It doesn't have a lot of support in here yet, but i do remember clearly that Live Chat was all for it.

This is great, I'd use it all the time. Is there anything bad at all about this suggestion? I would love it for team games

I like this idea, but even more, I like the idea of the "jump to your next playable game" link changing to a list of links to your playable games from which you can pick whichever one you want. (Hmm, maybe I should suggest this as a possible add-on instead....)
