As things stand, you must adhere is a strict run schedule to get complete benefits from your stored turns. If you don't, half of them get wasted because of a very easy-to-fix problem. By making stored turn turnover rate the same as turn gain rate (3/15 for WoA and 5/10 for BFR) the problem eliminates itself by using all the turns in the stored bin before it refills itself, as well as allowing you to time runs to fit your schedule without losing any efficiency or wasting turns. It should be noted that this system already works very well at several other Promisance games.

This isn't a place to debate it, there is another topic for that. This poll is to get an idea of how many members are in favor of the change so that we can give Beatles the green light to fix a problem that has been plaguing the server for ages.

This wouldn't increase the overall turn rate. Might slightly cut down on time to make runs.

Personally, I'd say WoA is a good speed, with BFR being slightly fast. But stored turns could stand to be fixed, yes.

Is 90% in favor enough to justify the change? If so, could someone please get in touch with beatles about it?

I voted yes, either do this or you might as well just get rid of stored turns because at their current state they are near useless.

OK, this is a simple change and has been sitting here far to long. You are making a bunch of other changes to the game, and this was decided on long ago. CODING ADMINS GET IT DONE!
