Default Re: Hourglass

Actually I would be completely happy to play in a game like this. I am one of the fastest dominions players in blitzes anyway, so it would hurt me less than many other people . The only problem is (as I am saying rather a lot these days...) I'm trying to get out of games, not into new ones. So unfortunately I can't join . Of course, the games I'm still in right now could go on for ages....


Also: There is a better (still unfeasible) way of enforcing a timer than I originally stated. You could leave quickhost off, and arrange specific times to get everyone together to do their turns. When such a time comes around and everyone is available to play, you force host the turn and then everyone has to get their turn in within the time limit. You could play multiple turns in one go, or not. If you went with such a system it would probably be best to have everyone on IRC or something so you could tell when everyone was there and ready. Alternately, skip that and pre-arrange times. If someone isn't available during the play window, they stale (this would suck, badly). It would still be a lot of pain and effort to organize playing a game in this fashion, so again, I would just stick with the honor system.
