No Time Limit?

Post by The Prez »

Hello, me and my friends just joined BGA. We would like to set the games in such a way to play turns also along more days, when
life allows us to dedicate a little of time to our hobby. Occasionally we can have real time games obviously.
Now, how "No Time Limit" actually works? We created our first table yesterday night set as No Time Limit,
we tried to logoff and login to test the game was still available after all players left the table, and it was.
We could not finish the game and left the table late in the night.
Today the table is not available anymore. Is there an expiration anyway?

Thanks in advance,

Prez

Yeah apparently 'no time limit' doesn't actually mean no time limit. It just means a longer time limit than normal. And I'm not sure what happens, but after you go over the limit by a certain amount, you get automatically booted, and then after a while, the game becomes 'abandoned.' It sucks though that you can't resume your games like that. They really should change it.

On the other end of the scale, I'd like to see something faster than 'Fast'

As a way around this, you might try to have one player stay logged in, to keep the table active. I'm fairly certain that BGA periodically runs cleanup routines to make sure resources aren't being tied up needlessly. I'm also fairly certain that one of the definitions of "needlessly tied up resources" is a game with no players.
