Suggestion: Speed Game Timing Rules

Postby trapyoung on Fri Mar 14, 2008 9:16 am

Suggestion Idea: For individuals who choose to or who accidentally run out of time at the end of their turn the game should not allow them to begin their turn at the start of the next round immediately.

Specifics: If one individual runs out of time the other player(s) should be allowed to begin their turn before that individual who timed out or the next round reaches the 2:30 mark.

If both individuals time out then either player is allowed to begin the next round.

Why it is needed: In freestyle games, the intent for deployment is that individuals are allowed to start or end their turns in whatever fashion they chose, but the rules are set up that an individual cannot finish a round and immediately begin the next because of an unfair advantage that accompanies what would be in essence two turns in a row.

Many people in freestyle speed games unfairly let the time expire so they do not have to think strategically and out manuever their opponents, instead they let time expire and gain the advantage of moving immediately which should only be had by the player which puts himself at risk by ending turn first.

It is unfair and led many games to be swayed by manipulative tactics and I believe the rule should be changed.

well there is the negative to not ending. you dont get a card
im sure it wont hurt u. i mean as soon as he starts u can start
also a bad idea, if you have ever played 8 player esc on classic. you will find in the first 2 cashes everyone waits til last moment to cash thus getting highest number of troops. but some dont get the time to end. and miss out on a card as there punishment
i think thats enough of one

i was talking about no cards specifically, i get a majority of speed standards are escalating but on realms maps they are mostly no cards and there's no disadv to not ending turn.
