Active games sort order.

[baianosafado]

Let me start by saying that I LOVE the fact that the active games are sorted. It makes it much easier to see when its my turn.

I would like to see it go one step further... instead of sorting by how much time is left in the current turn, sort (or give the option to sort) by how much time is left till YOUR next turn.

It's impossible to predict in sequential unless you are next up.

how do you konw that?

but I was kinda thinking of the same thing baianosafado...

edit: but now that i think about it there's really no point..

lets say that you have 10 active games none of which is a real-time game. They would sort as follows:

first, of course, the 2 games where it is your turn
then, the 3 games where you are the next player who will be taking a turn
followed by the 4 games where you are third in line to play
and lastly, the game where you just finished your turn and are now forth in line.

It seems like a more logical sort order than time left in the current turn and would provide a quick estimate of how many turns one would need to play in the next 24 hours.

in the example above, from a quick glance you would see that there are three games where you will for sure need to take a turn soon.

Not impossible. Given the current parameters, that it shows you how much time is left until the current turn expires, you can always predict the maximum time. For example, if you have a sequential game in which you are next and the game shows 18 hours remaining on the current player, your turn can occur anytime between 15 seconds from now and 18 hours. Its not exact.

That being the case, in a normal sequential game, you would just add 24 hours for every additional person between the current player and you.

Player 1 thru Player 6. When Player 1 goes, when he hits End Turn the timer will show 24 hours, in the new way I suggest it would show 120 hours [24 + (24 *4)]. In 6 hours, the current screen will show 18 hours, in the new way it would show 114 [18 + (24*4)]. When Player 2 takes his turn, after he hits end turn, Player 1 would currently see 24 hours, in the new way it would show 96 [24 + (24*3)].

With this method, games in which you are next would always appear above games in which you have other people to wait through, unlike now where there may be 6 minutes left in the current turn, so it appears at the top, but I'm not next, so in 6 minutes its just going to cycle to the bottom.

I actually like the way it is at the moment, because I try to follow games in between my turns (especially with fog, and in triples etc).

The easiest way for me to do this is to look at the games that are near the bottom as they have been most recently moved in.

It can vary after any1's turn

but i dont think its an affective idea .. the way they r is better the 1s with lesser time on top and down the list .. so we dont need any change i think!
