Freestyle turn length

Seems unfair that everyone gets 24 hours for a turn (in the 24hr game) except the person that ended the previous turn. they get 12-24hrs depending on when someone else initiates the turn. This is because they cant start the turn. I generally take a turn quickly but at most 10 hrs - so generally it has never affected me. However, in one game I am playing atm I couldnt have my turn because nobody had started it and there was about 13 hrs left. The next morning I had an emgerency so I couldn't have my turn until 14 hrs after I went to bed the night before, so missed the turn. This has cost me the game. This is particularly a problem when there are only a few players left.

Wrong forum, looks partially like a question, partially like a suggestion.
I agree it's not ideal, but it's not easy finding a good solution for the back-to-back turns you could otherwise take.

freestyle games aren't really set up to be fair. They reward players that can be online at all times any time. Try playing sequential?

Excellent suggestion Sprocc, don't worry I'm all over it. I feel your grief and the last thing we would want is for another man to wallow at the bottom of his own despair. Then what? Have to battle internally between his pride and his vanity? Then when his pride doesn't win, then what?! Then what becomes of his despair?!!



The 12 hour rule needs to be stopped,
