Dismiss Game to play later

Concise Idea: Dismiss games that you don't want to play yet to the end of your play list

Idea: I have 20 games ready to play. Since one of these games is escalating and nobody wants to play first I would like to 'dismiss' this game so that annoyingly I don't have to skip back to it everytime I click 'jump to next playable game'.

Why: Cause it's really annoying if you want to take your turns fast

straight after suggesting this I just went into that game and hit 'begin turn'... damn...

I don't fully understand why you would want to "skip a game to play it later"

Can't you just go to "My games" and click on all of the other games you want to play (annoying, yes, but I don't see the need for your suggestion)

Thanks

because it's really annoying to have flip by each time. I like taking all my turns quick and just pressing jump after taking my turn.

this is ridiculous...if you want to play freestyle and win on a gimmick then put up with the little annoyances of playing that way.

Most browsers now support multiple tabs. I know in Firefox and in IE, just hold Ctrl when you click on any link and it will open up that link in a new tab. Just go down the list and open all the games you actually want to play in new tabs.

This happens to me sometimes, when I get to a game that I simply don't want think about until I've taken the rest of my turns.

Actually, I find it especially annoying when waiting for your partner in a doubles game, to discuss strategy etc. or if you have an important turn, and need to think of a strategy, and you need to keep skipping to it, then away from it.

I'd like this, good suggestion for sure.

good idea insomniac, but it would still be a nice idea

It's not winning on gimmicks either I just don't want to take my turn next

I think this is a good suggestion too...

Also - for those that manage their wins/losses I assume they would like it too...

I.e. if you know you have a few losses lined up - you may want to play them first - then play your wins next - so that you get more points etc!? (Does this actually work?)

It has its uses, but I think it would clutter the game screen, and there are a lot of much bigger fish that need frying.

Is it not possible to implement into BOB? Could BOB write a cookie telling it not to go back to that game yet?

It is probably possible - but I think it would be better done on the site...
