AP Designation - Enhancement request

Post by saultie »

Enhancement request.

I would like to propose an AP (analysis paralysis) icon that is specific to a game. It would be very helpful. Most people might take extra time on a big turn in games like Ark Nova but there are some that take a 4 min.m turn each time. It can be really boring when this happens. It would be a very helpful identifier.

This has a big dependence on the player as well as the elements within a game, I don't think you could accurately predict this.

Besides which, even for a game that doesn't have this kind of limitation, if you're playing at a speed that allows 4 minutes per turn, then the player is within their rights to do that, even if they aren't thinking about the game at all for the first 3.5 minutes of that time. If you find it too slow, choose a faster speed, which of course you'd also be subject to. Unless you're already choosing the fastest speed, though I didn't think any games on "Fast" setting would allow 4 min per turn.

The other point is if you find a game boring because it's sometimes played too slowly, or a player who seems to do this in a game that you don't think should be, you can either avoid the game, or give a personal red thumb to the player so you avoid them. A personal red thumb does not affect a person's karma - it's basically just, this person's play style doesn't align with mine and I'd prefer not to play with them. They've done nothing wrong, they're just not for you.
