I know I am bringing up an old subject but I noticed another new player, Knightdawn, who has been a member for 7 days and completed 7 games. Thats fine, however, he is now active in 120 games and needs to move in 112 of them. I will see if he logs in soon and catches back up.

It does raise the question again of perhaps restricting the number of games a new player can subscribe to until he reaches a 50 or 100 complete game hurdle. I don't want to discourage new players since most of them don't do this. It does seem to be a problem with a few of them.

Comments?


I agree, too, though it's quite clear that KNIGHDAWN is an old player who has pourposedly exploited this to entangle as many games as possible - you might notice that they are all stucked after turn 3. Possibly someone that wanted to bring up the point of new players' limitation

so, setting it to 20 until he gets to 100 completed games should do. until next trick comes out ...


Has anybody explored the alternatative of shortening the slow player time out to 1 day?

That way if you commit to a game and can't keep up you don't hold everybody else up.

Then players who can't turn over that quickly have nobody to blame but themsles if they commit to a game and can't keep up.


I think they should stop listing games that you're out, or a filter at least. I have a bunch of games that I have been OUT but it is still listed under me.

An option to allow a player to quit a game will be nice. If you have to be away from the computer for a week or so, everybody will be stuck.

Time out of 1 day is not too realistic since people may not have time to use the computer as much in the weekend. You may want to tell people that you prefer players from certain time zones only so there is hope to play a few turns during the day or night.


There is an option for quitting a game now. It's called exiting the map. Although why you should be able to retain half your points for running away is beyond me?

And I don't believe the 1 day time out is that unrealistic. It is an option for those who want regular play at a sustained rate. Once again, if you can't commit to that pace don't sign up for that particular game. After all it's voluntary. I don't like the 8x8 maps, therefore, I don't sign up for those contests anymore. Would it really hurt to have the option available?


You can only quit by exiting the map if it is your turn. What are you going to do when somebody like that forementioned player is holding up the game? There should be a link/button beside the game with the word "Quit" on it.
