So I cannot take my turn in any game unless I take my turn in all games at the same time.

So what do I do if I only have a few minutes? Not take any turns?

Are you saying you intentionally skip turns?

Isn't 24 hrs enough?

A few weeks ago there was a fault with the Next Game button. It didn't send you to the next game but to a random game on your waiting list. I know some players missed turns because of this. Should they have been kicked from those games?

it isn't against the rules to miss a turn and real life happens... i have to take my better half in for a surgery on friday, if my partner can't cover my turns, i should have to forfeit them all for missing 1 turn? makes no sense... additionally, missing turns can and is an actively used strategy in escalating card games... sorry, the landing page clearly says it all:

If you wish to play casually, a few minutes per day is all that is required. If you want to delve deeper, Conquer Club offers many options for hardcore strategy game players and online Risk experts.


sorry, but i don't think this is a very valid suggestion when it goes against one of the founding principles of the site and against a commonly used tactic... play speed games if you are so upset about missed turns... or better yet, freestyle/speed games... good luck with this... the black jesus does not think this will pass the mustard...-Bj

p.s.-yes, i used MUSTARD intentionally... the old timers will get it...

Thanks Owen, but read what I said, the circumstances you describe would not get you kicked out.

Some might intentionally skip turns, yes.
I don't usually play them in order of time. I play according to two factors:
1) what device am I using? If I'm at work / on phone, I skip and play easy turns. I take the harder ones later to avoid taking difficult ones on my phone
2) in order of priority / importance. I'm much more likely to take a tournament or clan turn before a pick up game. If something happens at work (frequently does in my line of work) or at home get busy etc, I know at least my important turns are taken and the ones I miss (if any) won't be that big of a deal

24 hours is enough, for most people, most of the time. But not all the time. And it's a casual game site. So...this is pretty harsh punishment for such a minor issue.

-1 as it's currently described I am strongly against the suggestion.

And this is going exactly as thought,
Thank everyone for participating

Yes icepack you were expected to step forward, just took longer than expected.
The surprise comment was forgivenone but yes you did and your comment is right in alignment with your PAST VALUES as it were

Unexpected was just one player?

Not sure what you mean by that, but ok. I don't come in this area often, only from time to time if works slow and there's something new.

regardless, this suggestion takes away a common tactic used by many players AND goes against one of the founding principles of the site... next, he'll want truces coded into the site... ugh... ridiculous suggestion, the black jesus will never allow for this to occur...-Jésus noir

p.s.-i made direct comments aimed at specific points of your suggestion and you said i didn't address your suggestion? come on, you have to have reading comprehension to get far in this forum...
