continue to be paused. stupid grammar.

At one point I think that everyone finalizing would unpause the game. But the problem with that is if the game was paused on a retreat or build phase, only those people with orders had to finalize to get the game unpaused.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to have the game move forward but stay paused if everyone finalized while paused. Heck, sometimes you might want to play a whole game like that. Or start a live game, pause it once it gets too late, and just play it out as if it was a 24 hour/phase game rather than doing an early draw.

That last paragraph was exactly what I was thinking.

does someone knows how it works now??

I'm 99.999% positive that the game will stay paused and the phase will not change even if everyone finalizes (clicks ready). But I don't KNOW for sure.

The game will stay paused - I've had hames like this - think this is also how it should be - having games progress when 'formally' paused is an unnecessary complication.

Games, not "hames" :)

Ivo is correct. If a game is paused, and everyone finalises, that makes no difference to the pause - it stays paused. I've got a paused game right now where everyone has finalised, and it's still in 'pause'.
