Game pace and flexibility

I know it's not really an issue related to ark nova, but i encountered it here, so...

I launched a game with the parameter "flexible" and had good surprises about differents paces i wasn't used to.

And then i got this one : play 8 moves between 21h and 9h. I know i said i wad flexible but it's a bit on the extreme side.

I would like to suggest a criteria to limit those games with hours range. To have an least half in common with both player.

Yeah, things like this would be better discussed in the battle BGA discussion forum since it pertains to all games so you'd get a lot more responses.

I will attempt to answer your concern, though.

I don't ever join games this way, but I know below the turn speed selector there is a time range selector for the faster turn based settings (8/12/24 turns per day). Just curious if you've set that to a good time for yourself. If you set that and make it less flexible, perhaps that will help with you ending in bad time zone games?

As I said, though, I always create my own games or join manually, so I'm probably not the best to respond to this. 😬
