An Idea!

I think would be cool having a "Convert to Speed Game" button when 2 Premiums are playing a normal game and both agreed to play a real time game.

Its an interesting option :mrgreen:


What do you guys think?

I don't see the desire for this -- if you're playing it real time, just continue to play it real time, you don't need timers for that to happen. The only thing this can do is cause someone to possibly miss a turn, and the whole reason you joined the Casual game in the first place was so that you didn't have to worry about it, right?

i agree with this comment.

converting it to speed then realising it will take longer than you've got would suck.

I disagree with this entirely... It's a very good suggestion that would be of great benefit to freestyle players

if you are all there playing what difference does it make whether it is officially a speed game or played as one.

The only way this could ever conceivably be justified is if there was a button to "Convert to Casual Game" in case one of them has to go or is called away or whatever.

Why don't you just choose Speed or Casual, and stick with it you fool!

That's right. If both players are online, they can turn the game into a "speed-like" game for as long as they remain online. But when one of them has to go to attend RL issues, the games comes back to convenient 24-hour turns.
