speedgames

speedgames are great, in theory, but can quickly lose their way.

i suggest speedgames adhere to a format:

set times that the games start so everyone knows what time to look in if a game is going to start

fixed time periods of play - 24/36 hours is easily enough since most games are over in about 10 hours...

built in fallow days so we are forced to have a life and sleep! also allows a formal break form hassle for the guardians of the game/channel, namely appocomaster and fiery.

please leave your comments if you have a constructive opinion about speedgames.


i would like the speedgame player base to build up a bit and i think this would be done better if people knew when they could find a game... they could pick and choose when to play and even organise groups of friends just top play say weekends... if they knew when a game was going to start. i feel too many people are put off by the haphazard nature of the game

Re: speedgames

Give them a non-standard duration, like 31 hours. That way everyone gets a speedgame that starts at the right time, regardless of timezone.

bitesize, you have a very legitimate request / comment.
hopefully, once we've got the round underway, due to the larger amount of beta testing we won't have (m)any bugs, and I can spend time making an automated script. I'm not sure I'll fit in time before then to do it, but we'll see. I agree structure and transparency are needed
