Saved game

[Kool Kat]

The problem is the belief...paranoia perhaps.... amongst some members that saving=cheating.

IMO, the "problem" is that we have a "Turn Save" counter that tells us "nothing"...

If the club wishes to persist with this topic...which I have long believed is poisoning club relationships...the parameter of value is "turn starts". That might really indicate something.

... and a purposed "Turn Starts" counter that "might" indicate something, but would have to be "interpreted" by ladder commanders and the involved players... leading to possible false accusations.

The real question we need to ask ourselves...

Do we as a gaming community need either a "Turn Save" counter or proposed "Turn Starts" counter? And why? :chin:

I agree with Rod that the "paranoia" created by just having a "Turn Save" counter is bad enough. My vote is to have this counter eliminated in the CS 1.05 update.

If we don't approach these games with mutual trust, integrity, and honesty among players... then why bother to play them? Where is the fun "factor" if you are constantly worrying about the number of "Turn Saves" you make or that your opponent makes?

I am a compulsive saver due to numerous bad experiences in all things computer.

That's a minimum of 3-5 saves right there staring at the face for any of my opponent when they open the file I've played. :conf:

IMO, it really is nobody's business (opponents, other folks, etc.) why a player saves a turn multiple times... and it is disheartening that we feel compelled to "explain and justify" our saves either to our opponents or in Blitz forum threads.

Again, having a "Turn Save" counter creates an environment that fosters such negativity.

Let's get rid of the "Turn Save" counter... and get back to our game play!
