RadRx: You're not the first one to suggest that, and it looks like a good idea on the surface of it. The problem is, what about the person that comes online once a day at the same time everyday knowing they have 24 hours or more to move? If the Pond game is down to five people and this person was to move right after the start of the next round thinking they'd have almost two days before they'd need to make a move they'd be in for an unpleasant surprise if the remaining players were to all move right after the player had logged off and the round started right away.

I like the idea though. Perhaps a seperate category or as an option created at the start of the Pond or something each remaining player could answer when prompted on the Main Page?

A Main Page prompt could work. Assume everyone has made their bet. A notice could be sent out to the remaining players if they would like to start the next round. If all of them said yes, then the next round would start and no one would miss the turn and there'd be no surprises. If one person didn't log on or didn't want the next round to start, the usual deadline would still be happening and all would be right with the world still.
