You should email the mods. They don't really check the forum for this kind of thing. [email protected]

I already suggested the mods that every games should be automatically unpaused on request when the paused time exceeds the 10 times the phase length, in this case 20 days.

Sadly no answer so far :(

rokakoma - that would be a development issue, not something for the mods. You should speak to kestas.

Jamiet: no, not neccesarily, all I'm saying if a player inside the paused game requests to unpause, mods should do it without any investigation if it's paused for a long time. We have too many paused games, and points stuck in. And since any development ideas I had came to no implementation, I gave up suggesting development ideas for a long time now. (auto-disband, auto-build in case of just armies available and everywhere, half-long builds/retreats in live games, 3-4 mins live games, pause vote with specifying number of phases, and so on ...)

I had a couple of ideas, but I'm here for 1,5 years now, and no improvement at all in these, so I just don't care suggesting them at all and play with what we have here.

It's an open source project, things only happen when people who want them to make them happen, one man made webdip (more or less) and one made vdip.

These devs are interesting in all the things they work on and dom't have time to do this professionally; if you can't do the work yourself i suggest you create a petition to pay a professional programmer to do it for you.

The mods likewise volunteer their time. I'd love to see a simple code change with would give one non-mod the moderator powers over a specific game... So each game would have a game-master who woupd be responcible for pausing and unpausing games...

I agree. That is a very good idea.

Actually I'm a computer engineer, and I mainly work with php/sql, so I assume I could do it actually. But certainly, it's easier not do to anything. I like the site as it is, I'd love it with some features for sure, but until I can avoid most of the problems above (with joining high pot/gr games only) I really don't care. Most of my 'problems' occur in live games, for which my solution is, not to play them.

+1 for the game-master idea
