I dunno if this has been discussed before but I am not looking forward to having to wind all my games down about 2 weeks before I go on holiday

, and was just wondering if a different time limit had ever been debated ? It would give folk a chance to go away for a day without sweating about whether their loyal troops are getting obliterated !!:)

different time limits have been discussed, but i dont think longer times have been discussed, only shorter times. But this would be a nice addition for people who cant access the computer everyday.

I believe there is a vacation button on the to-do list.

this could be a good idea, i personally would not like to use it, it would make games too long. but, to add to your idea, maybe when creating a game, there is a small textbox or drop-down that says time, and you could type in a certain amount of hours to be allowed between turns. This, i think however, would be widely abused by *ahem* begginners.

thats easy to control:) you only make vacations available to subscribers ! this will not only boost subscriptions but cut out any abuse by miscreants

...how about 20 days per year ?...also what about a symbol beside the username to distinguish subscribers from non subscribers ?

How about a game mode that allows really short games (10-20 mins per turn). There are times that i feel like playing but all my games are in 'Waiting for your turn' status. With the current system i just join a new game but this only lasts a few minutes too...
