The idea is to increase this number progressively, but the system is going quite well at now so I think we can start increasing it in the next days.

There is a timeout period: 72 hours (3 days). Do you think this is too much?

After the turn-based game has started is there any possibility to see what the gamespeed is, how many turns per day?

Like any other options, you can check it while the game is running at the bottom of the page (or by a click on the gear wheel icon on the top right).

Sorry, but as I have already posted: If that is there I can't see it (or find it for that matter). Are you really sure the gamespeed is stated there and yould you maybe provide a screenshot?



As to

There is a timeout period: 72 hours (3 days). Do you think this is too much?

I think it is important to give people a chance to join a game thus I like it that the time out period is longer than a day. 2 days would sound as reasonable to me as 3 days, shouldnt be much longer than that. I guess time has to show if 3 days produce too many ghost games after players have arranged themselves with that system.

I've got a turn based game going and the other player hasn't played for 3 days. I'm fairly certain that the game speed was set to 1 move per day, but I can't find a way to check this. I figured that eventually the other player's thinking time would run out, but every time I view the game his thinking time has reset to 335h59m! Is there any way I can end this game without getting a penalty?

The game speed is not shown there, case in point - http://i.imgur.com/CXamx2C.jpg (screenshot from table ID 8657822, turn-based)

I just finished my first Turn-based game. (Hive and I won )
After the game, I tried to give my opponent a Thumbs Up, but it would not let me.

I am in 3 turn-based games where my opponents are not playing and have not played for 3 or 4 days. There are no options to expel the player. How can I get out of these games without a penalty?

In TTA in turnbased mode, I think it would be nice to see the civil cards of the opponents.
I can see when opponents draw it. Why are they hidden during the game ?
In turnbased mode, you can wait more than 1 day between 2 turns --> I can't remember the cards. Sorry...
I can write it on a paper but it's easier if I can see them directly on the screen
I'm not talking about military cards which are drawn hidden.

Why there arenr restrictions in turn based?

We need a way to end games if we started one that was supposed to be two-turns-per-day and people are not playing for several days.

Hi,

I checked the tables of shparks79 and nanell and it looks that there are only games where opponents played recently.

Did you manage to expel your opponents on the other tables or did they finally played?

As it is now, I've seen no issue on expelling system.
