Yes, of course people have lives :p, but surely if you take the decision to start a game, then wouldn't you expect others to want you to play? Why would you start something, then go and do something else?

Exactly Raul. I have a life too outside of Dice World or any other game that I play with people. I hate it when people rush me to take my turn, especially in RS Games or the Playroom. It's really degrading hearing someone tell you to "Play," when you're doing something else. Oh yeah since people are saying what their usernames are, on Dice World and RS it's BBS and in the Playroom it's bbsshawn.

Gallegos Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 9:41 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Dice World, am I missing something? Hi Steve. What happens if I am playing with you and when I take my turn you are sleeping? Should I wait for you to wake up and go about your normal life and then take your turn after, or should you wake up immediately to take your turn so I don't have to wait so long? <smile>. Please don't take this as sarcasm, but as thinking of it from the other way around. When you play a game like Dice World, you will play against real people who have real lives and who might live in a different part of the world as yourself. So, to minimize the long wait times if that's not what you want to do, then you might consider only playing with people in your same time zone, but even then you have the real life factor to deal with. There are times when I go through my turns in the morning before I go to work, or while I'm on my way to a client's home. So it can vary. There are times when I'm bored at night and take a few turns before going to bed. Other times I go a couple of days without taking my turn. You have up to 5 days to take your turn before you forfeit. So, I think this is generous. There have been a few players who have stopped playing with me because I sometimes take 1 or 2 days to respond, but that is ok because I can't keep up with more than 25 games at the same time if players want me to take my turn just as soon as they do. There are times when I have an hour to kill and will play 3 or 4 games in a row with one player and ignore the rest of the games because I know that he/she is online at that time and it's like we are playing face to face. You just gotta find what works right for you is all. Hope this helps. -- Raul A. Gallegos Finally heading to the comic book store.
