Thanks for feedback all,

The game is progressing again. Two persons were replaced.

To make sure we don't get into this situation again the 48h/turn limit has been removed. Going forward everyone can take their turn turn at their own leisure.

It will be a much slower game .... but at least it will be equal for all and noone will miss their turn again becasue they didn't manage to complete it within time limit.

The only issue is interference by an admin.

Noone is debating that a GMR admin reverted back the time turner for a player so he could get more time to complete his turn. In our game we have 48hours to do our turn. Most of the players have missed the turn a few times.

1) I argue that it is undue interference of GMR admin to help individual players to complete their turn on time.

2) The player that got admin to revert time turner thinks it was ok (but he did resign from the game)

What I do like to hear is official stance from GMR admin. Will this happen again? Is this happening in other games? Is this standard practice?

No that is 2 separate issues.

I stopped the timer on 8th of May on CS_Frankenbite request as he was going on vacation for 7 days.

On 13th of May, when I restarted timer it jumped to next player immediately. That was not fair so i reverted the time so Padoura could take his turn in the allocated 48hour window. He was happy with that.

On 19th of May Padoura didnt complete his turn in the allocated 48hours. He asked a GMR Administrator to revert the turn so he got another chance to complete it.

I was not happy that a GMR adminstrator reverts a turn after a player missed his 48h time slot. Padoura argues that is standard policy.

Padoura hasn't told which GMR Administrator helped him in reverting turn so I don't know his explanation or what the policy is? Maybe you could check?

Also Padoura just resigned from the game as I questioned the revert from GMR Administrator

Hi Skifans,

I don't have slack unfortunately. I don't know who the admin is that decided to give one player additional time to complete his turn.

- In my understanding the purpose of having a turn-timer is to advance games more quickly and when the time is up you have either don your turn or not.
- My understanding is that GMR administrator should help with technical issues but not give people more time if a turn timer has been set and a turn has expired
- If I want more time (or unlimited) to complete my turns I play games with no turn-timer.

If you go to game-room http://multiplayerrobot.com/Game#21450 it seems some players argue it is ok for GMR adminstrators to add more time for players upon request.

I never asked for extension when my turn-timer was up and neither was I on slack where these requests apparently are done. It would have been very handy the 8 times my timer expired but I thought the whole point of a timer was to do the turn in the allotted time.

I think it would make sense to clarify the policy on above.

Regards,

Hi,

When I got part of the GMR community and donated money for this excellence service it was to support the time/money investments of the programmers building up the technical platform

However, in one of my games (http://multiplayerrobot.com/Game#21450)

We know face the issue that a GMR administrator is changing the turn-timer and reverting back expired turns so a specific player can get another chance to complete his turn.

- This is considered unfair as the set of rules agreed for the games stipulate a turn-timer and several people in the game has already suffered from this rule by having their turn expired.

My expectations would be that the GMR administrators would help with technical issues.

I play in games both with turn-timer and without turn-timer. In games we have a turn-timer my expectation is that it would be applied EQUALLY for all players; regardless of connections to GMR administrator.

Please advice
