Concise description:

Change the term of holding the objective in freestyle games

Specifics/Details:

Now, in order to win a freestyle game by holding the objective you have to take the objective and press begin at the next round.
My suggestion is that in freestyle games if you hold the objective at end of the turn, you win.
In freestyle games it is pretty much the same with the difference that if you play last you do not have to wait until someone press start.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

People will not be forced to stay in front of their computer pressing begin turn or have clickable maps and put a weight at the b.
All the people will have same chances to win by holding the condition even if they are not on line a lot or they do not have clickies
People will stop complaint

Either way, if you win by objective and you are not able to hold it for a full round it's low behaviour. To hold an objective and feel proud about it, it should be that you let everyone get a crack at it. This is a step in the wrong direction, although the point barons will probably agree to it.

The problem with freestyle is that you cannot hold the map objective for a full round in most cases. The person who wins, wins by taking it and ending last, and starting their turn first. So it is not the case that every other player had the chance to make a move before the objective was considered held.

This is the meaning of the objective in freestyle game. If you can play last and take the objective, you win. I understand that a lot of people do not like that. You are free not to play freestyle games with objective. But people that want to play that type of game will want an improvement.

If you do not think that this is an improvement say why.
But I can not understand the point of saying that you do not like that style of game so there is no need to improve it...

I do not think this is an improvement because you are now making it even easier to hold an objective, hurting the purpose of those maps. If you want to win an objective map, you must hold it between the time you end your turn and the time you start your turn. The suggestion takes that away by saying you no longer need to actually hold it for a full round..
