Game 1070101 - what just happened?

[Lingfish]

Could someone explain what happened here? Playing freestyle. I logged off last night and it was my turn to play with about 22 hours on the clock. I log on this morning (about 12 hours later) and my opponent has somehow played and I now have 8 hours to take my turn....what is that about???

[Lingfish]

Ok I see it was part of the fog of war new inputs.

Sorry guys but thats friggin ridiculous, you cant just alter rules in games that have already started, I agree with the fog of war rules but you've just screwed my game up because you changed the rules IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GAME and didnt even tell anyone.

Sorry but am extremely pissed off right now.

Understandable Lingfish, but it would be next to impossible to program the new updates to start "with the next game." This is the only way to do it, so announcements are made to let everyone know about the changes. Sorry if this screwed up your game plan.

you had your chance to play and now your whinning bc you didnt take it. what if your opponent couldnt have played in that 8 hr timeframe, what good did it do towait

excuse me? I get 24 hours to play, its up to me when I choose to play and frankly it depends on a whole heap of real life and in game things and has got nothing to do with anyone else. Unlike some people I dont spend every minute of the day on here and often only get to check in once a day if I'm lucky. Sometimes I log in and only play the games that need attending to in the next few hours and leave the rest till the morning cos I quite fancy getting some sleep, but frankly that has got bugger all to do with you mate.

The rules changed half way through the game totally unexpectedly and its screwed my game over. I'll get over it eventually but seriously what would be wrong with a mass mail to everyone to give them some warning this was happening?

[Rocketry]

People like me complain about mail

[Lingfish]

O.K. Then make the announcements a couple of days BEFORE they come into effect.

You still have your 24 hours to play and its still up to you when you want to play.

However now you opponent has a fair chance to get a turn in as well.

Stop whining. You could've moved and you admitted to it. Just because you stalled

player A finishes round 1. now if player B doesnt go in 12 hours, player A gets back to back turns. Now player B goes. Player A now gets the next move. giving him 3 out of the last 4 moves. that doesnt sound really fair to me. all we did was trade 1 loop hole for another.

I really don't see a loophole there

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

round 1

player A moves
player B moves

round 2

player A doesnt move in 12 hours

player B moves
player A moves

round 3

player B moves


player B made 3 of the last 4 moves just because player A dint move within 12 hours. thats worse than a forced missed turn. we made the loophole worse than it was. unless im missing something here ?

I don't see a problem
Round 1
Absolutely fine
Round 2:
B goes first but A still goes
Round 3
B moves then A will move

Before it was
Round 1
A moves
B moves
Round 2:
A stalls until last second
B misses his turn.

Definitely better
