Concise description:
- It should be possible, at least in private games, to turn off the 24 hour limit, pause the game, or have some other mechanism to avoid skipping a player's turn.
Specifics/Details:
- Me and 5 other friends signed up for CC together, each of us getting a premium membership at the same time primarily so we could play private games with each other on all these different maps. Most of the time we all take turns every day. But sometimes we can't. And all of us our understanding that you can't always take a turn every 24 hours. So, at least in our private games, we could like to be able to avoid skips. This could be done several ways. There could be an option to pause the game. Or the gaem creator could just completely turn off the time limit. Or that player could have the choice of several longer time limits. Or, rather than having an automatic skip at 24 hours, it could be set up such that after 24 hours, the next player can take their turn, but if they choose not too, the game waits for the first player, rather than automatically skipping them.
We feel that because these are private games, and because we are premium members, we should be able to have this control over the game play.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Making this change will give the players more control over their games. It will avoid skips when life outside of CC gets in the way of turn taking. It does not seem to the six of us that it is somethign that should be that difficult to change, and we would appreciate it a LOT. It is really frustrating to play several rounds in a game, then miss a day, and not be able to catch back up. And it's especially frustrating because no one in our private games minds waiting the extra time for the potentially skipped player to be able to take their turn.
I've seen discussion of people skipping turns on purpose, and other things. But after doing a search, I did not see a request for the ability to extend the time limit or in some other way avoid skips in private games. I hope this isn't a re-post. But if it is, CC should make the change. A bunch of us want to be able to avoid skips in private games by either having other time limit choices or the ability to pause games, or just have no automatic skips. Can we please do this?
