Game creators should be able to specify as little as one 24 hour day before automove kicks in rather than the current system. I personally would like to see the following options:

12 hours
1 day
2 day
3 day
5 day
7 day
14 day


Players know what they are getting into, when they join games. Five (5) day automove is simply not small enough when running tournaments. One side or another finishes early, and everyone has to wait. In the current Squad Cup 2 tournament, 5 of the 6 bracket finalists have been set for more than a week. Four (4) of the 6, have been set for a month or so. We are waiting for one game that under my proposal, would be over at this point.

In Pokerguy's 1 on 1 tourney, one side of the bracket is finished, while one game has slowed the whole process to a crawl. Clearly, its time for a change here.

Others have agreed with this in the past, so would the admins please consider my request, and make these additions for the good of the site. I think most you will find, are in favor of such a change. As such, I'd like the players to chime in on this issue and my idea.

I think so. but being too many option would be a headache for admin. I suggest the following modification

1. Read time game - 10 mins automove
2. Daily turn - 24 hours automv
3. Weekend player - 7 day automv
4. Leisure games - 28 day automv

Regards

With all due respect, there is no real time game move needed. If two players are going to be on at the same time playing, its just not needed. Besides, what if one goes away, would someone really get a kick out of shooting an automoved player down for laughs and giggles? I like the idea of haveing several options. Hopefully, we will see what they have to say.


Bumping this up for the admins.


I think 1 day option is the fastest we should ever go for this kind of online games. Anything faster is unrealistic since most of us have a Real Life. People have to step away for who knows what reasons like bathroom, lunch, commute home, work, etc. People have family life in weekends as well. Single people may want to find a gaming club to get more gaming.

If the players of a scenario are online at the same time, you can have 1 turn every 5 minutes or so. Real time gaming are the worst you can do to spoil an hex based game like BM.


I agree with some of what you say however, no one would be forced to join a game with a shorter automove feature. I think most people realize that real life takes precedence over the Blue Max world. If you are someone who knowingly checks the site twice a day, a 24 hour automove feature is nothing to sweat over. Our major concern is for tournaments and the like where 5 day automove is just too long a time to wait to progress a game.
