Alert for start game.

[kwikool]

its crazy...why does the system not alert you when the game starts...

i create a game....wait forever for someone to join....then go read an email......i come back and the game is over... you alert when its your turn...why not have the same alert when the game starts......its so annoying for everyone concerned....in my mind this is a huge bug that needs immediate attention

Hi Kwikool,

I only understand partly what you are saying...

I understand that you created a game.
I understand that you waited for someone (or more than 1 person) to join.
I understand that that the game started since someone (or people) joined.
I understand that you didn't receive an email when the game started.
I don't understand that you didn't have a turn on this game?

You agree that you are alerted when it's your turn. Does it mean that you didn't get your turn?

I guess you're writing about a live game?
This happened to me as well before (when Flash was working). However, I believe that when I create or join a Real Time Game, it is my responisability to check and follow-up on that.

If you didn't get a notification (on time) because your turn started, I'm not sure you will get one on time to say that the game started...?

this is about a live game.

and yes
you responded by..


I understand that you created a game.
I understand that you waited for someone (or more than 1 person) to join.
I understand that that the game started since someone (or people) joined.
I understand that you didn't receive an email when the game started. there is NO sound alerting you that the game started or even that its your turn.
I don't understand that you didn't have a turn on this game? since there was no alert to begin the game OR for a turn alert.......the game ended without even one play.


i suggest that when the game starts, all players get an audio alert.
