Suggestion to limit number of pauses

I suggest limiting the number of pauses (F3) that a player can make in order to prevent abuse. Today a player insisted on pausing the game for everyone once they started losing.

There is a limit of 10 but that doesn’t work. In the PUP it says, this will work from now on.

I think pausing should be

  • 1 min * 2 times per 1 player
    (for preventing someone from keeping freezing the game forever)
  • only the player who paused can unpause it until 1 min, and others can unpause after 1 min
    (for preventing someone from bothering other’s pause)

Pausing should be allowed only for someone who gets a truly unavoidable circumstance.

Pausing should be based on a single time bank. So every time you pause, the clock starts counting down your allocated 3:00 minutes (or whatever) then after your time bank runs out you can’t pause anymore. Or you use up all 10 pauses maximum then you can’t pause. Whichever happens first. Kind of similar to time bank chips in poker.

I also think team game pauses should be a shared time bank. Every player gets 10 pauses each but the 3:00 minute time bank (or whatever) is shared per team.

I like what you say!

I would change a little thing. Once your bank is depleted you still can pause, but others players can unpause the game.

How is that any different from the way it is now? Other players can already unpause the game. Time bank is pointless if running out of time has no impact on your ability to pause.
