In order to provide a fluent gaming experience, players who constantly wait for the entire turntime to expire will be penalized by timeout strikes.

• If a player does not make a turn within the regular turntime, the player gets the first timeout strike. This timout strike does not have any other consequences.
• After the second timeout strike the turntime will be reduced to 50% and after a third timeout strike the turntime will be further reduced.

The reduced turn time will remain for the rest of the game and will only be reset when a new game is started.

We keep track of the total count of timeout strikes of every player and migtht add additional measures to further "penalize" players with high timeout strike counts. You can view your total timeout strike count as well as your average turntime from within your profile menu.
