12 hour days

Nov 25, 2008 by g2bAndrew
A few days ago me and one of my friends on here were talking about how annoying 12 hour days were in casting games. I just realised today though how much of a disadvantage it actually is.

If you have internet access all day then that's fine, it's not a problem for you but most people work or go to school. If i join a casting game which starts at 2am, i'm not going to be able to go on there for one game "day" because by 2pm, i'm still at college. Something which has happened to me a few times now is i've been playing a game, doing quite well and got up to something like day 7/9 and then because i was inactive for a game day between those hours, i've got kicked out of the game. That disadvantage in the game has now turned into a huge problem because i've been playing a game for quite a few days now and all of a sudden because of this problem, i'm out of the game.

So, what do i suggest? One way of doing it could be to have 24 hour days with 2 evictions at the end of the day, 1 done by the algorithm and 1 done by the voting. Another way could be to keep the 12 hour days but have the algorithm evict somebody once every 24 hours and voting to evict somebody every 12 hours although this might get a bit more complicated.

If you have any ideas on how they could improve on this feature or agree/disagree with me entirely, i'd appreciate you leaving a comment below. :-)

I definitely agree with you
I do dislike the 12 hour days, and I think going back to the original 24 hour days casting games would be better, maybe with 2 evictions a day instead of 1 so they could have 15 members instead of 12 or something though as 10 is a bit small lol
I hope rookies doesn't turn to the 12 hour days

I like it how it is, in a few months, no one will remember the day days, and just be used to them :)

I like the 12 hour days, although I'm asleep for like 8 hours of one of them :(
