To be implemented - Multiplayer Game Limits

[COOLguy]

"Well let's see I guess there are four ways to limit a game:

1) # of players standing - right now it is last player/team standing. It could be last "n" of players standing, where "n" is supplied by the game maker. Meaning that if "n" is 2, then the last 2 players left are the winners. There would need to be at least one more player than "n" selected. So if "n" is 2, there must be at least 3 players; if "n" is 4, there must be at least 5 players.

2) in real time - This would be selected in hours, and would begin counting down as soon as the game is started.

3) in turns - This is selected in turns

4) by date - The game is ended on a predetermined date (ie 2400 Greenwich Time March 17, 2015)

Any/all of these limits can be set on a multiplayer game. When one of the limits is reached, the game is ended and the winner declared (by most points). I think there should be notifications when the match is about halfway and 3/4 finished and on the last 5-1 hours/turns."

For the tournament, I think numbers 3 and 4 will be used (they should be implemented before the others). What does everyone think? Is it making sense or should I explain better?

I like it! And it makes perfect sense to me!

i also think the last one (4) is the best for the tournament

So you are saying when its time to skip a player instead of wait on him skip no matter the situation or time zone, also it sounds like the game must be played within 24 hr.time limit is this correct?

[COOLguy]

Um, I think so, if I understand you correctly. Only if 24 hr is the selected game limit.
