Sound Notification in speed games

Been proposed and rejected many many times.

I was just thinking that this would be nice. If you have a speed game up in another tab or another window and you are doing other things, it would be nice if there was a sound to tell you that its your turn.

Concise description:

At the start of each players turn, a sound will be played. This tone will alert them that they can start their turn.

Specifics:

When the turn starts a tone plays, maybe CC could provide a few pleasant ones to pick from.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

Players will be able to walk away from the computer or do something on another screen while they wait for their turn.
This will really be useful in speed games when people would like to walk away from the computer or do something else on the internet for a few minutes. But if the player before them suddenly ends their turn quicker than expected valuable time or a whole turn could be missed.

I know some of you will say. Well pay more attention. But i think it allow everyone to better utilize their time if they can safely do some other stuff while waiting and will be alerted by a sound when they have to get back to the CC action.

As long as it is an option that we can turn on/off then I have no issue with it. But if it was mandatory I probably would never log on again, hate being forced to hear stuff I didn't choose just as much as lack hates pop-up.

I agree that an option is nice... but mandatory would be bad...

The conquertell script (for firefox) that I have installed has the sound option I believe you are looking for

What I do is have msn open, have the option to send emails to you when it's your turn and you'll receive a pleasant sound, from msn, that it is your turn.

Of course it should be optional

4myGod · Post by **4myGod** » Fri May 08, 2009 1:06 am

The problem is, the page would have to be refreshed constantly to check if it's your turn. Because a static page won't know when someone else has played their turn. So if the page was lets say refreshed once every 1 minute... that is a ton of page loads and still if you are playing a 5 minute speed game then it would only give you 4+ minutes to make a move, depending on when the page was last refreshed.

It would be easier to use one of the work-arounds mentioned:
- alternative script
- have your email software open and put a sound to that, this way when the game emails you then your email browser will make a sound for having a new email... this will be instant for you.

Concise description: A tone/beep that you can turn on that sounds when it's your turn.

Specifics:

This would let people do other things while playing a speed game, while ensuring they don't miss their turn by having a sound go off when it is.
The tone wouldn't be a default, just something optional people could click if they want it.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

fewer missed turns in speed games.

Good idea. I have a habit of browsing forums during speed games, and getting lost in topics.

You can have a PM automatically sent to you that informs you a Speed game you were waiting to be filled has just started, and it provides a link to the game. That's what I use.

DROID · Post by **DROID** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 1:02 am

Is there anyway you guys could add some sound effect or like a DING to let us know when it is our turn for a speed game. It is annoying to randomly check every 5 mins and I feel tied down to the computer. The user, the user's opponents, and the game would be played much more efficiently with less time wasted for all parties when you know it is your turn.
When I play a speed game with 5 players, I realize that it is not my turn right away, so I go about doing other things, surf the web, facebook, AIM and sometimes forget about the game. Having a sound notification would benefit me because I can immediately stop what I am doing and play the game. In, addition players would not have to wait an extra 5 minutes for NOTHING to happen if I miss my turn.
THank you and please consider my suggestion.

slowreactor · Post by **slowreactor** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 8:14 am

This is for all the people who always forget about their speed games. I love this suggestion! For those people who have their sound muted off, how about a pop-up letting you know it's your turn? I've seen other game sites do that.

ManBungalow · Post by **ManBungalow** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 8:23 am

A pop-up, sure. A sound effect, no thanks.
One of the things I love about this site is the lack of those repetitive noises you find over the internet. Even if the sounds were optional, the site wouldn't feel quite the same.
In fact, you can already change your Game Settings so that when one of your speed games starts you get a PM to announce the fact.

you might want to look at http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 7&t=121144 if you really need a sound notification, you can set windows to do it whenever you get the popup, iirc.

Queen_Herpes · Post by **Queen_Herpes** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 4:00 pm

I would like this button, please. I haven't played speed in a while, but I like having multiple windows open when I am gaming. I'd even buy premium again if this button were included. I can see how I'd need to turn it off at times, but most of the time I would turn it on and scan other sites.

These could possibly be merged together...although...some of them were rejected. They all ask for the same thing. Could they be merged...and...could the topic remain open for discussion?

Yes, I see that. Also mentioned that in my post. The ones that were rejected seemed to be focused upon sounds that are unrestricted. The sound that hasn't been rejected is an on/off button for the sounds when a speed game has started.

Yes, I see that. Also mentioned that in my post. The ones that were rejected seemed to be focused upon undo moves. Whereas I'd like to see an undo button which simply undoes the pressing of the "end attacks" button. If any moves, reinforcements, take place after that...then the button disappears. This only undoes the accidental end attacks button.

? This thread is about having sound notifications??

Sorry, I'm a blondy. I edited my last post. This is about sound notifications for start of turn in a speed game and an option to turn it off or on with the default being in the off position.

It was rejected not for having an option (that would most likely have been added if the suggestion would have proceeded), however it was rejected because lack does't like sounds on any of his websites.
