What about this option?
This is only for casual game times of 24-hour turns. In any consecutive three-turn miss streak, the first round you have the full 24 hours, like any other round. Miss that, and your next round gives you eight-less hours; 16. Miss that, and you have eight-less hours the next and final round; 8. Assuming that everyone takes their turn instantly and wastes no time, that's essentially 48 hours instead of 72. (Assuming the games is more realistic, there will be at least a few hours between each turn.) If you miss a turn, but take your next turn, clock resets to 24-hours.
Now, the obvious flaw in this is sixteen hours can easily cover a normal sleep and work cycle; something that normally exists back-to-back. Eight hours is even easier.
Potentially this could be circumvented by reseting the clock whenever a player with a missed turn Enters the game they missed a turn in. It doesn't reset their missed turns, but it doesn't reduce the time they have when their turn does come up. i.e. Bob misses turn #3. He sleeps through his reduced, 16-hour turn window for turn #4, but logs into conquerclub an hour after his 2nd turn expired and enters the game to see what happened. This resets the clock, so his window for turn #5 is 24-hours again. However, Bob's really a complete deadbeat and misses that 24-hour window, missing turn #5 and thus has missed three turns in a row. Thus, he is dropped from the game.
Total time he's wasted of the other players: 60 hours. Big difference? Not really, but 12 hours saved is 12 hours saved. Had he not logged in, he would have wasted only 48 hours of the other players; a full day saved.
But, if the rules haven't changed by now with the other ideas, I'm sure they won't change without some sort of really, really good reason.
Or perhaps using another notifier disables the e-mails.
