I just joined this site and joined a game (Game 211193). I have been sitting there for 25 minutes and 5 players have a red square nest to there name and 1 player (Not me) have a green circle. I no they mean ready to play and waiting to play but my question is how do i make mine green as i am ready to play? Also why isnt my game playing?

Thanks in advance.

You joined a sequential game, meaning everyone takes their turn in order. The game starts with a random player and goes in turn. Each player get 24 hours to make their turn. Make sense?

That's about it - sequential is turn-based so you have to wait until those in front of you play. If you want a quicker game and be allowed to take your turns more often, try freestyle. However, it has more luck involved than sequential unless you play it real time

Don't worry ny, I understand your problem because I had the same question when I joined.

The 'ready to play' green icon means that it is your turn and you can begin at any time. If there is a red square next to your name it means it is not your turn (and as others pointed out, each person has 24 hours to take their turn, so it won't be played out in one sitting like a normal game).

When I joined I thought I had to do something in the beginning to indicate that I was ready to play, and then the game would begin (and I understood that the game wasn't meant to be realtime). That seems to be a similar problem to this one, at least I think.
