And here's the post I made in my now redundant thread

I am currently involved in a First Nations of the Americas game.
Like many games, it uses local names for territories.
In the case of the First nations game, many of these names are unfamiliar to me.

The First nations map is huge, and so its extremely difficult, just by reading the game log, and ...

So its good business to find ways to encourage them to stay.

Making the newbie experience better is financially more sensible than making the premium experience better.
The longer someone is here, the more likely they are to upgrade.
You guys are the proof.
You werent satisfied with just 4 ...

It should be done to increase the number of potential customers.
You guys are saying that you have fifty games on the go.
So you must have ten????????? games waiting for you to take a turn when you log on.

By your own actions, you have shown a limit of four games available to play when you log on ...

i couldn't care less how long it takes people to take their turns.

that's one of the perks of premium. give it a try, it is only $2ish a month.


And once you have premium join 200 games then its always your turn
exactly, i have 54 turns waiting for me. i couldn't care less how long someone else ...

I dont get your point.
I'm not saying we still shouldnt have 24 hours.
But if players allocated on a 24 hour clock what time they were most likely to play, and if the code then sorted those players into sequential time order, most times they wouldnt need their 24 hours.

Player A plays his turn ...

Anything that speeds up play, encourages more people to play, which has to be good for CC and all of us.
what would be good for CC and all of us is if more people bought membership.

this suggestion of yours would cost the site to implement and mostly have no impact on those who would be paying ...

you could play games only with people from your timezone

Yes I could by invitation.
A suggestion doesnt have to work for everybody all of the time to be worthwhile.
e.g. At some time in the past, someone may have said "lets play tournaments".

Just because 20% dont want to ever play tournaments ...

I doubt this would be implemented. Not everybody logs in at time X in their zone. So someone in France may log on at 7pm daily, but someone in Western Canada only logs on early morning. This would only make a few, my bet very few, cases actually work.

okay how do you place those who don't show a ...

okay how do you place those who don't show a country?
or how bout russia which covers 8 time zones?

Well how about each player decides for themselves, what time they are most likely to be online.
You could do this with the 24 hour clock that the site uses in the game log.

It wont always work ...

If you don't like how the play order of Sequential goes, why don't you try Freestyle?

I was thinking about Freestyle today before I saw your post.
And I was wondering why CC had added a freestyle version, and I was thinking that perhaps freestyle was created for the very reason that this topic is ...

America created bin Laden?
I mean, look, people in the US are brainwashed about a lot of things, but... I mean, c'mon.
Uhh.. you do know that bin Laden used to be on the CIA payroll, don't you? You know that al-Qaeda first got their weapons and equipment from the US so they could fight the ...

I will go premium soon.
But that wont speed up 24 hour games.

It will allow me to play speed games.
And it will allow me to have more games where I'm ...

So you assume everyone from around the world plays their turn at the exact same time?

What if the guy from Australia takes his turns in the morning, and the one from France in the morning?

I check on morning and night.
But it would be reasonable to assume that most people who check CC once a day ...

I've noticed the order of play can affect how long it takes until your next turn comes up.
e.g. Player 1 is in Australia. he comes home from work and signs into CC at 7pm local time, and plays a turn.
About 18 hours later Player 2, from the West Coast of the USA signs into CC at 7pm local time, and ...

My question is with regard to a four player game.
One of the other three players was playing well, and slowly taking over the board, while the other three of us essentially let him by fighting each other.

I could see that the eventual winner would win if we didnt start attacking him, and tried to ...
