It would be nice if the time remaining in a round was displayed in the game info on the "my games" screen. I am a little neurotic and have to keep going into the game to see how long until my next move. I realize this is unimportant but thought it might be a nice feature.
not a bad idea. Of course better still would be to list games in the order of when your time will run out, and then in order of how many players until your turn (for sequential games anyway... sure you could calculate freestyle in there somehow).

Suggestion Idea: I think it would be good to have on the My Games screen somewhere (maybe under the game #?) what round the game is currently in
Specifics: It can be small and being that it's a number generally no higher than 99 wont' take up much room on the screen to add to the clutter
Why it is needed: Often i have many games going usually, sometimes of the same map and even same people (tournaments, etc), so it's nice to refresh my mind with "this is a round 3 turn" or "this is a round 35 turn" before i even click in as your strategies change and you can know which game was which if you wanted to concentrate on one certain one first...

You should edit your post and put it in "the form". Otherwise there will be a mod here real soon saying something smug about how this isn't using the form on the sticky blah blah blah.
I personally like the idea because it would be a great help for tournament organiser (or at least to me personally). It would be easier way to follow how far the games are and how fast they move on. Also, in the tournaments where the number of round is used in scoring or something it would be a huge help.
But I think that this change/add-on has a really low priority because not many people benefit from it and it's not that important to add.
But I personally like the idea
"Thou shalt accept thy dice rolls as the will of the Gods" (Church of Gaming) "amazzony is a beast" (Woodruff)
The mygames table has a lot of useful information, but lacks one crucial bit for people who have many games going at once: there is no easy way to determine which round the game is on.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
People with many games, particularly on the same map, will find it easier to tell their various games apart
In the "My Games" page where your list of current active games is listed I believe it would be most beneficial to show which round it is in the game. As many people have many of the exact same game type up with many of the same players joining them. This would help a player ascertain which game they are going into. This would be helpful if looking for a specific game.
lack, would it be too much to ask you to add this to the page that shows completed games as well? It would be a huge help to the tournament organizers who have to track which round a game finished in. Please, please, please!

Do you mean My Games -> Games Completed or Game Finder results?

Game Finder. But both would work just as well.
EDIT: Eliminated page too possibly if that's not too much to ask.

Yeah, Game Finder results. Then if an organizer needs to they can quickly see who won the game, and which round it finished. Would work wonders for many of the sports leagues type of tournaments that have overtime implications and such.
