Board Game Arena

I would really like the ability to join games that only count time against you on weekdays. I also see people who only play on weekends. It would be really nice if we could have these settings in arena and simple games. I play HEAVILY during weekdays. I almost always completely skip games on weekends. I simply don't log on. Is there any way these or similar options could be added?

I like this idea. Since I started to organize tournaments, my observation is that game-play is different during weekend and weekday. Having some sort of setting for that would be nice

This is an interesting idea, but "weekdays" and "weekends" are timezone-dependent. When the weekend in Canberra is beginning (Friday at 6pm), it's still Thursday evening in Los Angeles.

If you define "weekend" with reference to UTC (or something close to it), then this weekend would not include Saturday morning in Australia, and would not include Sunday night in North America.

You could probably find a reasonable solution to this, but it will require more thought.

Mostly playing devil's advocate here, but there is also the question of what days are the weekend. For example, work weeks in Israel are typically Sunday-Thursday, with Friday and Saturday off.

Ideally, if something like that was implemented, it would not be "weekends", but a choice of week days (I could choose to play Saturdays and Sundays, or Thursday to Monday), and the setting would be based on the table owner's timezone, as with current playing hours, i.e. my Saturday and Sunday could be your mid-Saturday to mid-Monday, if it doesn't fit you don't join the table.
