Add a time joker for real time games

[TillyTinkles]

I don't often play real time games other than the really short ones because you never know if you're going to get a knock at the door or some other interruption that is going to cause you to time out. What about if we have a small amount of time jokers per week that we could use in these circumstances to prevent penalties? It also lets other players know that you have an emergency and plan to come back rather than left wondering.

If you can't handle the time limits you signed up for that can be a problem for the players you face that chose those time limits because that's how much time they have for such a game. It's not fair to force them to wait. For players where this isn't a problem, communication will likely go a long way towards making sure they will just choose not to kick you. The penalty for getting kicked out of a game is fairly minor, so unless you're regularly having this stuff pop up for you, this isn't going to be much of a problem.

You could play games in friendship mode, where you won't get penalties, or play "fast" turn-based games with 24 turns per day. But of course for many games you need to be premium in order to start such tables, they aren't offered very often. Or you can start a group for players who prefer these modes, and hopefully there join some premium players as well.
