fast posted!

Well, I'm glad everybody understand now. How about adding another stage at the beginning of a turn if someone has any missed turn armies. In this stage they would have to place their armies before they attack, but the armies wouldn't show up on the board until after the end their turn.
Thats an ...

I haven't read much of this, but why would you want to reward someone for missing a turn by giving them multiplied armies?
Its not rewarding its compensating. Because otherwise they would be completely screwed over in a game just because they have a life outside of CC.



And mach, we all ...

You mean 'sequential'

And I agree.

This wouldn't really solve much, and I think would make it worse.
Using this formatting on large maps you wouldn't have to scroll down, but you would have to scroll right. And I think that is much more annoying than scrolling up and down.

This is never a problem for me at home where I have a ...

I prefer the way it is currently.

and can it be programmed so you get armies equal to what you get at the START of the turn (multiplied by missed turns) and not at the end. because some1 could miss 2 turns, get three armies at beginning and then take a continent for lets say +2 and then get 10 more armies at end of turn (instead of ...

If you would just take the time to read the forum you will see this has been suggested countless times.
The reason no one is giving you a reason against it is because they have already stated the reasons over and over and are sick of the subject.

Go look at one of the topics suggesting your ...

Edit: In Summary: You still get the extra armies from your missed turns, but cannot place them until the end of your turn.



Ok, so I know Lacks already got a "to-do" for this issue, but noone really knows what he is planning so I wanted to put this out there.
This was suggested by brahms here ...

Wow, I think Brahms just had the greatest idea ever! This guys a genius. I was about to suggest something like getting a 2/3 multiplier, but this is a much better idea.

Its basically so you can't use it as strategy to get a surprise attack. You still get all your armies back, but you can only use ...

Yeah, I understand a lot of vets won't use this. I already mentioned the selfish assholes.

As for the noob deadbeat. A deadbeat will probably slow the game down enough that the person who wanted to freeze it will be able to get back in time. So its ok that he wasn't able to vote.

Who will complain? I don't understand what you guys are talking about.

It will only get delayed if EVERYONE AGREES to delay it. You can't complain if you agreed to it.


The only reasons I see to not implement this is if it would be difficult to code, and that there will always be someone so ...

What about it sounds terrible? There isn't a single negative to this. If everyone in the game agrees to freezing it, then noone is unhappy with it.
I would certainly be willing to delay a game a day or two to help someone out. Maybe its because I'm not a selfish asshole like most people are ...

I want to bring back this old post because I think this was one of the best ideas anyone has had in a while. I wish we could hear lacks opinion on it, or at least some opinions of the people, because so far its just been one guy who really doesn't like this idea.

And he doesn't seem to understand ...

I think its a good idea. In fact I think we should do something to discourage the high ranks from using that triples game strategy. Probably half the games they play have one deadbeat, since only noobs join the triples games without a team. I don't even know what fun they get out of this. Clearly ...

It's too bad this isn't going to be done.

You could have a title of something like "US" or "At computer from 9am-5 PST" (for people like me sitting at a computer all day)
And while that certainly won't always get people to join who take turns at the same times as you, It helps.

Thats how I ...

I believe the real typo is that "roommates" is spelled wrong.

I think this is a good idea.
Even if you check your games often and aren't in danger of missing a turn, It's nice to play all your games in order of which one has been waiting on you the longest.
It's kind of counter-productive to spend time going into all your games, to find out which one you ...

I'm just saying, sometimes games go much longer than expected. Maybe you only play escalating card games, but holy crap can no card games go on forever.
For games that go on 5, 6, 7 hours. Who plays straight for that long? Who wants to be sitting up at 4am thinking "I wish I could sleep, but I don ...

I think this is a very interesting idea.
It fits along the same lines as the "unlimited adjacent fortifications" Both great ideas that I'm all for. They are the most realistic, in that in real life troops can only move so far in an amount of time. But different troops in different places can move ...

Glad to see wicked isn't for this idea.

I was worried when it was in the "to-do" list. I hope this means they have some genius idea planned that will stop people from purposely missing turns, while not harming people whose lives get in the way.
Something amazing that none of us could have ever ...

I think this is the kind of issue that we have feedback for.
We shouldn't have to punish everyone for the things some assholes do.

When you play against someone who does this crap, simply put them on your ignore list, and give them some negative feedback warning other people that this person ...

I can't believe everyone wants to change this.
I have only missed 1 turn in total, and that was in a freestyle game when I was out of town for a weekend.
But I still have to defend people who do legitimately miss turns.
Sometimes life gets in the way and you might miss a turn. Maybe you guys don ...

I like the idea of the realtime game for 3 hours, and then it switching over to a normal 12/24 hour turns. Because If you sign up for a rt game you are expected to play straight for the next block of time. But for the games that go on longer than expected.. some people need to sleep!

This was the way I always played. Back when I played risk on a board.

I understand the difficulty of programming this, but it certainly would be great to have this option.

It makes the most sense of any of the fortification rules.
