holidays and genuinely busy times

[Divine 1]

is there a way to post messages to all your games saying sumink like
"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....

i agree. i lost 4 games cuz i was gone for a week.

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...

[P Gizzle]

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

[Phobia]

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.

[P Gizzle]

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

but sometimes u av games going on for weeks and sometimes months!?!?!!

[P Gizzle]

i agree with divine on that!

[Phobia]

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

[P Gizzle]

good point

[Phobia]

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

[P Gizzle]

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]

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

[P Gizzle]

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?

[AndyDufresne]

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.
