Is fundamentally unfair it gives them access to 6 troops each when I only have access to 3, I have done nothing wrong and they have skipped their damn turns. I will continue to post this till you fix it... :evil:

You get 3, 2 turns in a row and they get 6 and 0. Seems fair to me.

It's not even remotely fair because they get full access to their 6 when I have to wait until after they play in order to get my second 3... I don't think you grasp what I'm saying... If you and I are playing a game 1 on 1 and I play and you skip your turn I have to wait until after you play or half of the round for me to get access to my troops and get to play. SO... I get punished for you not taking your turn on time. Had you played and not skipped your turn you would have to wait until after I played for you to take your turn. Get it now? It has nothing to do with the number of troops it has to with who must wait and who can play immediately after the end of a turn. Numbers of troops and placement and luck all play major rolls in success however if you think that timing especially in free for all games doesn't also play a very important roll then you are sadly mistaken.

Spiesr... I think the term is, "acting like a retarded troll." Next time try something constructive.

They don't miss their turn:

They get 3, take their turn.
You get 3, take your turn.
They get 3, take their turn.
You get 3...

They do miss their turn:

They miss their turn.
You get 3, take your turn.
They get 3, take their turn.
They get 3, which they can only use next round.
You get 3...

What seems to be the problem?

the complaint is about the him having to waste his time waiting around for the other people. he wants some sort of penalty for making the person wait around.

Actually no but close... The complaint is that since the person who skipped their turn would've played last had they played their damn turn then they should be the person to wait at the beginning of the round following the round that they failed to take their turn... since they were the last to play. So last to play in fact that they played a whole ROUND LATE.

they way it is if everyone plays

I get 3
they get 3

They have to wait to play until after I play

I get 3
they get 3

The way that it is
I get 3
they skip their turn

I have to wait until they play their turn
They get 3 from last round and 3 from this round total of 6
I get 3

The way it should be
I get 3
they skip their turn

Because they ARE STILL THE LAST TO PLAY they have to wait until after I play
I get 3
They get 3 from last round and 3 from this round total of 6

This is the way it should be otherwise I am being punished because they didn't play their turn. Which if they didn't play their turn it's their fault and thus they not me should be punished. If I didn't play my turn I wouldn't mind waiting I figure I'd deserve to wait for missing my turn.

Like I said, if you play sequential you avoid this issue...

this argument has been made before... and you're right... you shouldnt have to wait on someone that missed their turn...

Agreed - if you're the only person to play in a round then you shouldn't have to wait...

If there is another player that has played - then you *should* wait.
