rednaz23: they have that at pocket-monkey, it is a good feature

SafariGal: They also have it at Itsyourturn!

rednaz23: What do you mean by time limit change?

If I sign up for a 14 day game, I sure wouldn't want someone to change it to 1 day!

Eriisa: I think it would only be changed if both parties agree to it, and I would suggest it to me for non-tournament games only, so 2 people don't stick a 30 day limit on a "fast" tournament and hold others up.

BIG BAD WOLF: Or atleast make it so in tournaments you can only decrease the time limit not increase.

mctrivia: i think you might find it hard to find someone willing to decrease a time limit... there's normally one person out of the two that would want it going faster...and the other is the reason for it... both might agree to going slower - but i agree that would be bad in tournaments....

redfrog: I do mean to have a time limit change approval sent to the other opponent for them to decide upon. The issue is sometimes both people want to go faster or both people want to go slower (Ex. vacations coming up, and don't want to use vacation days if possible). It is something that I have personally used at other sites, and know others that have as well. You set a high end time limit that people can't go over. That's pretty much it! I can't really see people complaining about this, either they use it or say no the proposal from their opponent! Most people will talk about it in the game before sending a time limit change proposal anyways!

rednaz23: if both people want to go faster, won't they simply play faster?

Vikings: That is a good point! But, I have noticed waiting for games that some people don't play mine right away because I am at a 7 day waiting period, while most of the other people that are on and playing that opponent are using faster time limits. Since most people organize their main page by time left, you have to wait for your opponent to get through those other games before getting to your game! So if you can drop the time limit (under theres), you can get your game in before theres and done faster! :-)

rednaz23: i agree with Vikings - if they want to go faster - they will.... if they want to go slower - it has to be for non-tournaments only - you have some people in tournaments that are limited in the number of tournaments they can play in and pick fast moving tournaments on purpose... slowing down the entire tournament would not be fair to them....

redfrog: I admit few would want to decrease the time limit. Just figured that in tournaments that option does not need to be restricted. Some may want to do it just so it pushes the game with a friend to the front of your game list while keeping your games sorted by time left.

Game Time Limit: All in all a great idea - with the right restrictions....

redfrog: I think the time limit change proposal should only be used for normal games. That is it. However, you could use it in tourneys to speed up games. The person who starts the tourney could select to set a maximum time limit. (Say three days) As long as the tourney players are at or under that time limit, no harm no foul! The point for this was in my previous post... to get your game in on your opponents waiting games list before their other opponents. Does that make sense?

rednaz23: sure...
