My settings are fine. Thanks.

Yeah, like we need more.

I'd like to ask people's opinions on a tactic I've observed other players using from time to time. I'll use the "Classic" map as an example. In the situation I've noticed, let's say a player holds North America with 51 armies. He, instead of deploying 15 armies on each his borders with his opponents ...

Yes, this is exactly what we need: An easier way for those people who only play Doodle speed games to create dozens of them in a minute. Then we can scroll scroll scroll through them all....what fun...

Oh, I get it. Sorry. I didn't realize that the freemiums were already playing one tournament game. I thought they'd booked up their four slots with non-tournament games.

Keep up the good work.

Perhaps mdzealand should buy a membership. This tournament is taking forever... What's the status here?

I'm in.

That being said, I do think missed turns should be calculated into a player's rating.

It is! What do you rate someone when they miss a turn or two in your game? How about when they miss 3 turns and you get deadbeated? Don't you rate the low stars? Doesn't that affect their rating?

I meant that ...

It should also factor into your player rating or something visible when selecting new games. I want to play with people who take their turn quickly.

I don't have a problem with a public averaging of time it takes for a player to take a turn and posting that stat on a player's profile page, but ...

Hey!
Automatically -- As soon as its your turn and the email has been sent the timer starts and stops when you completed your turn.
Then you can easily identify players that are online all the time and do many turns ... and players who only log in once a day.

I take my turns multiple times a day ...

Thanks for the answers. So basically, it's trying to play newbies for easy points.

I see this is mentioned as something that's against the rules and that people have been banned for doing it, but what is it?

Pretty much you are saying, is if you have a crappy teammate that doesn't take his turns, your team should lose. That is basically what this suggestion is.

The only time it benefits to have this happen is in the only example you gave: your team goes for a kill, then that person inherits the ...

whats the point of this? seriously? ur complaining that ur opponent misses turns? isnt that supposed to be an advantage to u if he misses dont you think?

It may be an advantage in a two-person game, but in multi-player games a missed turn can throw games off completely. In a multi-player game it ...

limit the # of identical speed games created by the same player

While I share your distaste for people who are playing multiple speed games at the same time and missing turns because of it, I don't like the idea of limiting the number of speed games someone can create or ...

* Team game called team leader or kill the king where each team has 1 player thats the leader or king and the rest are grunts or pawns. Only killing the king will win the game. Wiping out grunts will not gain points, only once the king dies are all team points awarded to the winning team.


I don ...

Have a game option to have longer rounds - probably only 48 hours, maybe 72, would be required


Heck, why not five days or a week? I realize your proposal is for an option, but seriously, to create a game now I've got to flip through nine different options. We don't need ...

Sign me up, LA please.

What's risky about joining a public game?

I don't think that teams should be randomized in all games, but I do think it would be a good option. I know it'd be interesting, I'd try it.

I, too, like the idea of making it an option. I don't play team games specifically because it seems like two players who play together all the time (often ...

I think the rules should stay as they are.

However, I don't know what the rules are as far as point distribution at the end are. I think if your teamate(s) deadbeat and you go on to win the game, the deadbeats shouldn't get any points. Again, I don't know whether this is the case already or not ...

Please sign me up for modern pentathlon. Thanks for the invite.

I appreciate the invite, but I don't have the free time to play 83 games at once. I don't think I'd want that much free time.

I also want to know who these people are that would get Five Stars in attendance? Who has time in their life to ensure that no more than three hours elapse between the start of the 24 hours for them to take their turn and when they actually take it, particularly when they're playing multiple games ...

The problem with your ratings is that you consider "Fair Play" to be how well someone played a game. That's not what fair play is. That's whether they had good strategy or not. Fair play is about whether someone follows the rules or cheats. I'd include suiciding and intentionally missing turns and ...
