What X has suggested is currently 'Pending' under 'No Overlapping Freestyle Turns'

the reason they were taken away was because jerkoffs like hendy would use them to beat up on noobs who didnt know what the hell was going on.

It was a flame with an explanation of why the options were taken away..

Either way have you seen hendy in offtopics topics

A flame, but completely on topic.

I think freestyle in general can be used to beat up on unsuspecting noobs, whether this two turn thing is accessible or not. Still, real-time strategy adds another dimension to game play that shouldn't be taken away.

An additional "Ansynchronous Locking" mode will rock.

I looked, but couldn't find this suggestion.

It seems to me the 'freeplay' option is broken. Currently, it's a race to get your armies at the start of a turn -- not a problem. THEN it's a race to wipe out the other guys stuff before the other guy can reinforce. THEN, it's a delay to wait for the other guy to END HIS TURN, so you can drop your left over armies (if you're playing that way) and get a 'double bite' at attacking his armies.

So, my suggestion is to allow people to click to get their armies, but then the first person to place his armies gets to finish his turn. I know, if he wants to be a slug he can delay play an hour that way. But still, that's way better than the free-for-all that happens with the current Freeplay.

I also suspect I lost a LOT of armies trying to drop them on a territory that was being attacked at the time. I didn't KNOW it was being attacked at the time.

'No Overlapping Freestyle Turns' is currently 'Pending' on Lack's To-Do list.

Freestyle is a very, very different game. I've complained about it too. The "locking turn" option works really well.

But I don't want freestyle changed, I only wish I had no life so I could make as much use of it as other people do.

it look like people are suggesting my idea more and more maybe the priority should be moved up

Twill or any other person who would know, any chance of bringing back double turn? I think its essential for team games.

Not gonna happen anytime soon.

I think strategy is essential for team games, but maybe I'm the outlier in that respect...

Hey! I'm a Slug, but an Atomic one, so I resent that remark!

Don't worry about me playing as fast as I can. I never played a realtime game anyway, but probably will try someday

this is a very useful thing in team games when you want to reinforce your partner while he is attacking so maybe overlapping should be aloud when you're playing in the same team as the person

but i agree that its bad when playing other people

currently playing a triples game (72169), freestyle, where a team was allowed to directly go twice in a row. 1 of the players went inactive, the other 2 took their turns, then when his turn was skipped they got to take their turns again, which completely threw off the game. personally i find this extremely flawed... =/

Team freestyles blow, stay away from them.

ok, this is real anoying... when someone "syncronizes" their turns... ok, when you end the round you cant play till someone else plays, ya, thats how it is... uhh.. ok, to fix this problem... when the first person starts their turn, reset the clock to 24 hours, or maby reset to 12 hours if the time is less than 12 hours... or, another option, after 12 hours let the other ppl be able to play...

so what ur trying to say is you cant have two turns within 12 hours in freestyle? it sounds alright except for realtime games.

smart idea.. well.. any of them. i liked them all.

I liked the reset to 12 hours... and also give you 12 hours when your enemy miss his turn. Sometimes people can lose a turn on purpose, and still get doubled armies before you, because you cant play, but they can once they miss a turn.

no, what i am saying is instead of giving me 5 minutes to play after they wait 23:55 to play, reset the clock... or after 12 hours the person who ended the last turn gets to play regardless of wether or not the other person has played

you mean that if you make the last move in a freestyle game that you can't make a move until someone else does their move and they wait till it's only a few min left on the round so you miss your turn?

I've never had this done to me...
but I can see how this can be a problem. leaving you with only a few minutes to do your move and also force you to be awake at just that time.

yes exactly

Ahh, yeah this was also never done to me, but it sounds like a tough situation to deal with.
