90 Second Delay is Extremely Annoying

@djensen

Sounds like a great idea.

I have had a bit of experience in running both online and live tournaments across various games.

I have a few suggestions.

Use games that have built in timers.

For games that do not, use tournament rules and instead of a time limit the game last X rounds. (I have found in the past players are less likely to drop if the game a ser amount of rounds as turtling and 20 round slug fests cannot occur).

With versions:
1914 has tournament rules and is the most balanced at 6 rounds of play. Bid of around 12 to CP.

Revised with tournament rules from WBC is awesome and again is most balanced at 6 rounds. Bid 3-5 allies.

Anniversary 41 scenario has tournament rules in the works and this would be a great platform for it to be tried and tested. Very excited for these rules.

I am sure there are others but the above I am very confident that they are great options.

Is there any way to change the name of threads manually?

Sure. Just move to the very first posting of the topic, hit “Edit” and change the headline.
This is possible in most forum categories, but not in “Play Boardgames” where edits are never allowed. So type carefully there ;-) . However, you can ask a moderator by pm to edit the title, there.

In that case it is important to send the link to the respective topic and what you want to have corrected there.

Me too. On Apple it’s always been blue until recently.

@Midnight_Reaper I’m good, thanks for asking. The holiday season was just very busy. I also got knocked out by some non-COVID cold in October.

@barnee Thanks, it worked

That is not the message I recall.  Perhaps I’m mistaken on the warning or misread it, but it didn’t give instructions, just said that it had been flagged as spam and that a moderator would have to approve it before it was posted.

Just contact a moderator to get the link posted. It says nothing to the effect that when you post a link and it is declined, somehow a moderator automatically knows exactly what happened without you telling anybody.

Instead of discussion how the script is written, perhaps you PM me so we can get the problem resolved?

@Zhukov44:

It’s only happened to me once or twice.  It’s a feat of speed to make a post and come back to the thread and roll a battle all in the space of 15 secs.

Eh, I can see how you can come close if you’re doing round 2 or 3 of a large battle, because then all you need to do is @ a couple times. If you’re a faster typer you can breeze through it.

But still, not generally a problem for me.
