Board Game Arena

There seems to be a disconnect in the expectation of game speed between joining a friendly game in the lobby and setting it up/playing it. Typically I only join games that are 1 move/day but I can't see this when joining a friendly game. This doesn't matter from a reputation stand point because the timer isn't enforced, but has caused me to mistakenly join 24 move/day friendly games. Could either the desired game speed be displayed in the lobby for friendly games, or have the game speed always be set to unlimited for friendly games? Or if the game speed is displayed somewhere could it be put somewhere more discoverable?

Can you share a link of that table? Friendly games should not have a timer.

Friendly games can have a timer if someone voted them to change to turn based. That's the bug I submitted a patch for.

This might be different however, since I would expect maybe 8 hours per move instead.

And this bug has been fixed last week, so it shouldn't be the case anymore.

Oh thanks! I just tested and the game ends up displaying 3 moves per day on your game list, even though it's friendly mode, but I assume that's down to game server desync and hard to fix.

The game itself doesn't show a timer anymore which is great.

This is the game:

We're both at negative time and apparently have the skip players out of time option.
