Turn rate suggestion

Post by **Gen. Volkov** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:26 pm

On BFR, we get an additional 1 turn per ten minutes if we have stored. This means essentialy that the stored turns never run out. It refills to full before about half are gone. I propose an additional 5 gets added instead of one. This will A) Increase the speed at which BFR runs, allowing more than one run a day, and B ) Allow the stored turns to empty, thus making them more useful. Finally, it will allow a quicker start of the game when it resets.

I noticed that too how my sotred turns never empty.
But then we need to increase turn limit because meny people can only get on once a day.

I guess it is up to the admins.

Which are ever so nicely ignoring this.

No the last few post have only been there for about 3 hours. You can't excpect the admins to log in every 3 hours can you??

I saw it, but I'm refraining from commenting until some of our experienced players give ideas. It seems to me that this would just be an effective increase of max turns.

And if everyone does that, it'll very nicely get ignored...

Actually, I like the idea. It's done on RWL, and it is nice. Allows 2 runs a day (though one can almost do that, anyway), speeds things up, and doesn't make stored turns as much of a waste as they are currently.

Don't up max turns, however. If people can't manage two runs a day, BFR isn't really for them. That's what WOA is, a server where you have to log in once a day max.

If you make BFR a twice a day thing then i will not beable to win any more!
O well i think increasing max turns and increasing the release of stored turns would be best.

I agree with Rudder on this one FWF, if you can't handle two runs a day, or run well enough once a day to set yourself up for the next day, you shouldn't really be playing BFR.

And that was my point Beatles, someone has to start the commentary. And it wouldn't increase max turns unless you took FWF's suggestion. And who says I'm not an experienced player?

Of course this is just personal, but I really disagree with the twice a day thing. Nobody really has time for that, or those that do shouldn't discriminate against the majority who don't.

[offtopic]Is there something in config where you can ajust the number of stored turns output or is that somewhere else? (Where?!?!!! *laughs*)[/offtopic]

Yeah that would be good, you shouldnt really play fast pace if you can't make 2 tuns a day IMO

Not in the current version but I might add it later.

It would be nice if you could add it for other games (Thats if you're not too busy) - Is there any way for other people using the FAF source to change it without totally screwing everything up? (eg what file, turns.php?) *laughs*
