thanks AoN Makes our jobs a bit easier.

2 Minute speed game option

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• by making an option for 2 minute speed games a lot of cc users will waste less of their life waiting for the last ten seconds
• free up time to play more games

Common think about it cc we don't need 5 fricken minutes to take a 10 second turn. An 8 round game will take up to 40 minutes with only 1:20 minutes of actual game play!

[edwinissweet]

why not 1 minute?

[Queen_Herpes]

why not 1 minute?

I believe the OP is attempting to suggest a faster option without making turns so short that they would be impossible to complete. The azzezo thread where he is offering to pay to improve the site is apparently a suggestion like this one...azzezo wants 2.5 minutes speed games. Mybe this one coul dbe merged with azzezo's?

I don't know if the setup of the site would allow this, but alternatively, it could be done like on the FB app "Attack!" - modyfied for this site.
1 minute (or less) to accept your turn. Timer set to 20 seconds with every action you make whether it's attacking or reinforcing.

This would be be crazy with 8 player escalating. I think I would have a heart attack.

everyone still waits for the last 10 to make a move. we all like the heart attacks, makes the finger click faster

I'm not playing speed games until this is implemented . i waste too much time just staring at the screen

[Caymanmew]

what about bigger map you get from random you will not have time to play

[edwinissweet]

what about bigger map you get from random you will not have time to play

thats why it would be an option. You decide if you can handle it or not

[TheForgivenOne]

I have Merged the azezzo thread and the alex951 thread, as they both want basically the same thing

[alex951]

Alex951

ugh i hate when people capitalize the A

azezzo can you change your suggestion to 2 minutes games.plz. If you think about it you really don't need the extra 30 seconds.
5 min speed games+8 round game= 40 minute Game (about)
2:30 min speed game+8 round game= 20 minute game (about)
2 min speed game+8 round game= 16 minutes game (about)

Here, let me go edit that just for you alex

[Mageplunka]

I , also feel a 2 minute speed game would be great, and i do know something about having to wait for the people to play in speed games, i have played a couple now, well maybe a few

[TheForgivenOne]

Hey... azzezo <.< >.>

If you put your first post into proper form, i may or may not be able to sticky this

[answa]

Great topic !!
2 mins speed games will be great for freestyle games

[azezzo]

I'm all for 2 minute turns alex

[azezzo]

Hey... azzezo <.< >.>

If you put your first post into proper form, i may or may not be able to sticky this

what do you consider to be proper form?

and perhaps the even older threads can be merged as well, this is not a new concept.

[TheForgivenOne]

There is a template used when people start up a New Topic. sort of like in the C&A Forum. And i know there are hundreds of Suggestions just like this one

[thebest712]

I don't know if I best start another topic about this but I guess there should be SPEEDgames where you can chose between speed 1 minute, 2.5 minutes or 5 minutes..........

[TheForgivenOne]

Updated the first post and the title. Maybe that will get more attention for this thread

Who supports the idea of a one minute speed game? I'm not sure if I do. Sure for smaller maps like Luxembourg or Doodle Earth, but try playing a one minute speed game on World 2.1, or an escalating Feudal where you make your move to wipe out your opponent in one go and you run out of time because you only have sixty seconds. It would not be fair on someone like myself who has a slow internet connection (mobile effin broadband) up against some one who can take over five territories in four seconds. Experienced players vs newer players would be a no contest. Just some thoughts guys, keep discussing and showing your support.

Cheers, JB

I dont understand why its create abouth these sugestion to much a problem.
If 2-3-8 people want to play WOrld 2,1 in 1 minute speed option, and you come and say "Sorry i dont want to alove you to play 1 minute speed game" .
If people want to play 1 minute,then i dont see where is problem here. You dont need to play 1 minute if you have slow interenet connction, you can take option 3 minute,or 5 minute speed game to play.
These sugestion its so long here, and we all ready realised ,that much big number support these sugestion, i belive that big number of mods also support these sugestion, and only what left its that Lack come here to accept or refuse these sugestion, and then you can lock these thread,or move to rejected options.
Its become pointles to bumping these,or create similar threads with same sugestion.
