run out of time play

[ahchin]

hi, i am a new noob. and this my first post. sorry if it sound stupid. but just that i cant find an answer to my question in FAQ and forum. i wanted to check if you run out of time during your play, u got to go first for the next round?

I refered to game 288921. they just suddenly turn the game around after this time. u might want to go and visualise how the game have become before and after this combo. was this a bug or inbuild strategy?

i highlighted my concern in red. i will accept it if this is 1 of the strategy. but can any kind soul teach me how to use it please.

[Coleman]

Yeah, that is a nasty dirty freestyle trick. In no cards there is really no punishment at all for doing it.

[ahchin]

noted and thanks coleman. but may i check how can i activate it?

Oh you just play your turn and then don't hit the end turn button and after an hour it will auto end your turn and not give you cards.

[ahchin]

and i got to go first the next round?

[Coleman]

and i got to go first the next round?

Yes.

[MasterZ]

In freestyle games there is no turn order, although usually the person who goes last cannot go first on the next turn.

[ahchin]

yea. but if u do take a look at our game. its a 2 on 2. so they go 4 turns in a straight roll. and i have check johnnyrotten log. this is not the first time he using this trick. and i think a master like u will know what will happen on a 2v2 game with 4 game play in a roll?

[MasterZ]

It does seem like there should be some form of punishment for continuing to do that....

[MasterZ]

Leave bad feedback for him at the end of the game at the very least...

[ahchin]

but i think the developer of this game should add a line. "run out of time game play will not grant the adventage of going first for next round" they should be treated as he end his game last for previous round. and he cant go first. if 2 persons did that both of them cant go first for the next round.

ahchin, quit being a pussy and use it back.

[ahchin]

ahchin, quit being a pussy and use it back.

i did... but failed. checkout the game and u know why. and i think the rule book need to be improve by telling us noob about all this secret stunt.

anyway if ppl tell me this is not a cheat. i will accept it. just dont play freestyle and close the case.

[sarcasm] Because when everyone cheats it’s fair! Playing an honest game is for the weak. [\sarcasm]

(shakes head in disgust.)

[reverend_kyle]

This has been debated quite a bit and was found fair, and is one of the reasons he got rid of freestyle no double turns.


Its a good strategy, its no more cheating than waiting til someone is about to take someone out and beating them to it for the cards.

Strategy is unit movements, controlling assets/bonuses, and generally out thinking someone. Making the rest of the players wait unnecessarily and deliberately, Gaining a significant strategic bonus without a draw back (unless he was about to get a card i guess), to me this doesn't sound like strategy but sounds like exploiting the system. Strategy takes place on the board, not the interface.

But hey, if it has been discussed before and counted as fair then I'll drop it. I won't use it because it seems like a slime ball maneuver but at least i know to expect it now.

there are different strategies in freestyle, like waiting til someone is almost gone and swooping for the cards etc....

and it can always be done back at you whereas no advantage is gained.l

Quit complaining don't like it play sequential. It's a good strategy I've never used it but It is not against the rules and anyway why do you care? because your going to lose 20 precious points or less

losing is never an issue with me. but hey, do u like to walk on the street and someone wack u from behind without u knowing the reason?

i am here to check out how this happen and if its so call legal move. i did tried to use the same tactic but failed. anyway thats the 1 and only time i will use it even i know how to use it now.

and luckily i am the only 1 out of my many friends who pay $20 to sign up. my advice to them, play sequential and no need to sign up. this game suxs and feel free to use my id.

You actually made two posts on the same exact subject.
