"sorry gone away for couple days will miss some goes"...

last week I went campng and that farkd up about 4 games... and i am going to Cuba next week for 2 weeks... wots gonna happen then.... thre should be a pause function that all must agree to so that people can have lives without thinkn... dam all my points are gon get farked rite up just coz I got no net connection.. i dont wana be in the hotel playing CC when i should be on the beach con las morhaires de Cuba....

if youre going on holiday you should never join games in the first place, unless youre absolutely confindent they will finish.

i think the pause button has been rejected by lack, as i will find it annoying too. im premium, but what about non premium members that are using there 4 games with people pausing the game? its unfair

if you only have 4 games im sure it wont hurt for 15 minutes to use a computer in the hotel once a day...

well, all would have to agree. also, i was going to have my friend play all my games until i came back, but he was gone too

yes, alternatively, if you have a friend you trust (and can play risk!

) you could ask him/her to play your turns. as long as youre not in the same game as him/her.

well, yeah. except my friend would probably just kill me off, even if we were on the same team!

i agree with divine on that!

yeah i know, so to avoid that 2 weeks before the holiday i would stop joining any sequential/no card/flat rate/adjacent games. to me, only freestyle escalating is the only game type i can possible trust finishing within a week or so

good point

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 2:20 pm

oh and join games with less players too. less players = quicker rounds

P Gizzle · Post by **P Gizzle** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 2:22 pm

yeah. i was wondering, i'm new here, and can you make a game so that it's turn limit is, like, 1 hour or so?

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 2:24 pm

nah, all turns are 24 hour turns, i think that wold be a pretty good idea though, espcially for real time games

i want to kill myself when someone takes the full 24 hours for a turn.!!!

Again a Vacation Mode is currently 'Pending'.

Also Varying Turn Time Limits is on the To-Do list also.

hmm, but andy "freeze game" option is under rejected? arent those two the same thing?

Freeze games would've let everyone to agree to freeze a game for a set period of time. Vacation automatically would automatically skip your turn, while the others continue. Freeze Game has been rejected, while Vacation is still pending.
