Hi everyone, I would like to invite all to reply on below suggestions I have. I'm playing c4 for quiet some time now, and there are some things that bother me. I have some suggestions that might make the game more interesting for the real good players. 1) First of all: the time limit. I think I speak for all if I say that 10 minutes for a game of c4 is ridicolously long. I can understand you need 10 minutes for a chess game, but for c4...? Ideal would be 1 minute, but I understand that less talented players might have a problem with that, so I agree with 2 minutes (which is plently). The benefits would be that some players would not drag out games unnecessarily, it would frighten cheaters (although this probably only happens with 30 sec games), it would make games more interesting, since time is an important aspect of the game. 2) running: As we all know, the player who starts (red) has clearly an advantage over the second player(blue),since red can ALWAYS win (if he plays correctly). This means that, if you want FAIR games, you should give your opponent the possibility to play his game with red too. Now, here is the problem these days on FoD. Too many ppl are not willing to give a rematch anymore, this is what we call RUNNING. It is quiet frustrating for all good honest players. And I think many of you will agree that lately it has become a real plague on FoD c4. Especially with the so called Grand Masters (GMs). I know there is no rule in the rules and procedures of FoD, so I have some suggestions regarding this issue: a) I don't know whether this is technically possible, but it would be ideal if a rematch is started automatically. So basically one game would contain 2 games (match-rematch). I'm not a computer specialist, but I think this should be possible. This would really be a great option and would put and end to all the running. b) The rules need to change. Running should be considered as cheating (in some way ity actually is) and therefor a permanent ban should be possible. It is very easy to check whether someone is running (just look at his player info and you know). In that case the "runner" could receive a warning from the Mod (which can be put in his profile as well, so others can see it). These warnings will not have consequences, at least not on short terms. Because if the "runner" receives three of these warnings he will be banned (that way they cannot accuse FoD of banning totally out of the blue). Luckily there are still some good honest players, who don't need to run to get high ratings. By the way, most players play fair, but there is a stubborn minority that keeps fooling ppl. I think this is it (for now), I hope I get many reactions from your side and hopefully some of the ideas will be realised eventually. I know c4 is just a game, and games should be fun, but I have seen many ppl leave from FoD just because of the issues mentionned above (especially the running) To all good honest players I would like to say, just keep up the good work :) cya around for some ggs FIAR_WIZARD
