Such an addition would be an improvement in a number of ways.
1.With one quick look a player will be able to choose opponents based on time difference, language or even national
rivalry.
2. National and international games (United States v. Canada, Europe vs. South America) can be organized and would
be fun to play.
3. CC is a healthy and prosperous international community with an impressive number of participating countries.
By having our national flag visible, we celebrate this fact.
4. Military uniforms have them.
5. They look great and would be a refreshing, colourful addition.

Suggestion Idea:
Show the location (Flag) or maybe Local Time Zone (possibly relative to Player) of other Players in Games Awaiting Players.
Specifics:
Would it be possible to indicate where other players are playing from, within the list of Games Awaiting players, so that people looking at joining games can then choose games to join based on likelihood of playing at similar times to others.
It could indicate whether a game is likely to be played more as a Real-time.
Presumably it would just be added similar to the feedback indicator, so would also occur in active games too.
Why it is needed:
Cos I really enjoy breaking up my work day with taking my turns in CC, and I keep ending up in games with people all over the world (which is great) but everyone has joined in an order that means 12-16 hrs are passing between every turn. And I end up forgetting what my strategy was everytime, and most of my goes occur first thing in the morning.
Priority** (1-5):
Quite Low - but could be quite simple to do - especially if just flags are added.
really good idea! I agree its a gas playin' distant people, but it would be nice to have a few games on tap you knew would progress at a set time of day. Maybe a little higher priority?

good idea especially when playing freestyle(try not to play that to much, because when playing americans they have 2 goes to your 1 nearly every time it seems).
Basically, when you want to join a game, it'd be nice to see where the existing players for that game are... that way, you can choose a game where you are all in the same timezone, and therefore are more likely to be playing around the same time, which will make the game faster... It's a bit frustrating to join a game and then find out there's one guy from US, one from Singapore and one in Europe, which basicaly means each turn will take 24 hours... I like having such games in the background, playing one move a day, but it'd be cool to also be able to choose a game where you are likely to have a quick battle for half an hour and then move on...
just recently , I noticed that the game clock was onr hour behind my watch . Then i remmeber that daylight savings started 3 weeks ago , and maybe lack or someone hadnt got round to putting the clocks forward ,
P.S. This may only apply for UK players , but if it dosent please reply

Firstly Sorry if this has been suggested before I looked and couldn't find it.
Is it possible to put the players country flag next to their name in the Game listing? This will be very useful when you want to have a faster game with people in your own WORLD Time zone.
Often when I have joined a game I find someone from USA in the game, and nothing against Americans, but what tends to happen is they are playing when I am sleeping and I am playing when they are sleeping, so games take a long time.
If you could, at a glance, see the country of the people in the game, you could play with people who would be playing at the same time as you.
This is not an urgency, but I would find it useful. Would anyone else?
Hell no! There name and rank is enough! Don't want friggen 20 things next to peoples names in a game. If you really want to do that, just check the profiles of the people in the game.
In heaven... Everything is fine, in heaven... Everything is fine, in heaven... Everything is fine... You got your things, and I've got mine.
Checking through through the profile is fine (if somewhat time consuming), but not everyone will do that, and if you are playing in different countries it will make the variable time thing a little difficult, i.e. if you decide to join a 15 minute game (when that is implemented) and the others are on the other side of the world, someone will e up all night playing.
i dont know, since the majority of players here are american and i live in almost the opposite timezone, i think it would lead to the exclusion of lots of people. maybe only for freestyle games would be good. but i wouldt like to be excluded because of my timezone
Go into your profile and set the display clock an hour ahead.
