Need more ability alert/alarm options

Hi, I was just playing a game where a Sol player gave me their promissory note.

I wanted to silence the alarm since I wasn’t planning on using it anytime soon, but before I did I realized there is no alarm option for that specific promissory note. Which if my memory is right reads somewhere along the lines of: “At the start of Sol’s turn, activate this card…”

There is no alert option for “Beginning of X’s turn or something like that”

I’m one of the few people that like to silence my alarms so 1) No one suspects I have sabos (hehe) and 2) so it doesn’t alert me for every single thing (and run out my clock, fortunately people I have been playing with are nice)

I’m sure there are other cards and abilities that might have specific timing issues that I haven’t come across yet. But came across this and thought i’d mention it.

As always, huge shoutout to GTSchemer for the implementation of this game on BGA - hope this bring TI to a larger group of people (like me!) :)

Interesting idea. If you would like this feature, you may want to create a suggestion in the TI4 bug report system. That way it can collect votes if more players feel having the alert bell on promissory notes would be useful.

Sure thing. It wasn’t a “bug”, so i didn’t know if it should go there. But i’ll do just that.
