This could be an interesting possibility but it is not implemented at now.Nalafab wrote:Is it possible to ask for doing a pause of a certain duration if all the payers are ok ?
Very good question. In fact I think the described situation is a little extreme, but you're right: it deserves some additional thinking. Right now, to avoid problem, I disabled speed fastest than 2 turns/day. I started a specific discussion thread about this.glitter and doom wrote:Let's say Player 1 is usually available for play between 9:00 and 17:00, while Player 2 is usually available between 18:00 and 0:00. Player 1 is the administrator of the game. He has a lot of time to spend during the day, and he prefers fast turn based games, so he sets the game speed to 6 turns per day. Player 2 prefers fast games as well, so he joins.
Since the players are ready to play in different times (there is no overlap), they will usually play just one turn per day. Player 1 will play his move around 9:00, and Player 2 will respond around 18:00.
Is there a time penalty for players (since the game speed is set to 6 turns per day)? Who will get the penalty, and why? The game will be played at very slow pace, although both players prefer fast turn based games. Is there any solution for this problem?

Table administrator can setup a minimum number of player, and this minimum cannot be changed after at least 1 opponent joined the game. If you don't want to play with less than X players, please make sure not to join games configured with a minimum number of player lower than X.
How can I alleviate this sadness as I wait for my opponents to take their turns?
