Everyone is always bashing freestyle and saying how much better freestyle is. well I have always played freestyle and had tons of fun but with all the praise for sequentail I thought I would give it a try. So I did And I have 3 games going and 1 waiting for player, all sequential, and I havent taken a turn in 2 days. (Im non premium so I cant start more) Its driving me insanse. Yes im obbsessed but come on. 2 days and not a single turn.

That's the fault of the people you're playing with. I favor sequential because it presents a level playing field to those who can't click quite as fast, or whose browsers take longer to load. For RT sequential is definitely the wayto go.

I never get to play it though, cause noone that i usually play with likes it :(

All I have to say is, you have a computer so you must have some money. Just put up the 20 dollars so you can actually enjoy the site.

when i am playing with more expirienced players i like to play sequential, that way they cant pull funny tricks. Other than that i like to play freestyle too.

I like sequential more because when I am at school all day, it is easier to not get destroyed with sequential. My one problem with it is when people take forever to finish turns.

I hate freestyle, it can really ruin your day, especially in escalating cards where the stakes are so much higher. sequential is so much safer :P

Sequential is better because there is too much luck involved in freestyle. However, the most skilled game is an rt freestyle, as it has timing involved too. They are also my favourite games but I rarely play them anymore...

For non-premium, freestyle has the advantage of (in almost all cases) allowing you to have a lot more turns per day. Premium players can simply play many simultanuous sequential games to satisfy their addiction (though it'll require a bit more effort due to the frequent context-switching).
The disadvantage of freestyle is that it gives an (imho unfair) advantage to players who are willing to and capable of spending a lot of time, in 2 ways :
1) By constantly checking the game, and then starting your turn during someone else's turn, you can (if you have a faster connection/machine/reflexes) perform some tricks, the most extreme of which is 'stealing' the killing blow against a player in a game with escalating cards, after another player has done most of the work, simply because you were able click faster.
2) Even though the game does not allow a player to take 2 consecutive turns, you can take the last turn of a round, and then as soon as any player starts the first turn of the next round (but long before he has finished it, indeed, if you're fast enough and he is slow enough, even before he did anything), you can take your turn for that next round, which does seem to go against the spirit of the rules.
