Urgent suggestion for timer chagne

Post by coolcat1678 »

The timer for game should be changed as group abilities with discussion make it impossible to lock in a deicsion resulting in almost guranteed penalties even if you are playing and or selected and answer for discussion

With the concern being that my global reputation is getting hit on a situation I have no control over, even If I make a play as I should

I could totally be wrong, but I believe that if a game got too much penalties, the penalties are displayed in the profile but doesn't count for any warning.

And I think that the timer is done automatiquely.

the timer stops in normal rounds when you pick up a chip. But if you are playing anything other than base some of the equipment requires the players to "consult" and even if you click a number or option the timer continues for all players in the consultation until everyone has completed it. As a result I have numerous hits already from the game for slow play.

There will only be penalties if a player is expelled, and only for the expelled player.

Okay to be fair it is not a karma hit. But it shows slow play which is a "soft" hit to player preference

I have found that any game action extends time. So if you run low on time you can grab and put back the same poker chip until you have max time again.

Timer should be removed or altered for this- it makes no sense to run out of time because you are waiting for players to take chips in a sensible order. It would be like having a timer on the Mind
