Vote to pause

There should be an option to allow pausing of the timer - every player or a majority must vote for this. What do you guys think?

Not a very good idea. If you have to go somewhere and people are willing to back you on it, just turn the game into a casual game and then back into a quick game again.

I think it is a good idea to allow a pause. maybe just if all of the player vote yes

What would you have to do for a week? You could get x5 the amount of that SP in a week.

Support . always my parents ask me to pause the game !!! and they can't understand me that this game is online and can't pause it !

And so a game is on for two hours . . . I'm needing the bathroom. . . but if I leave for even two minutes, the game will be lost.
What if, we add an option to game creation. "Pause game ____ minutes every hour." This way, everybody knows what to expect. The minute selection could be a drop-down list.

I'd support this. For casual games too. If you plan to take a vacation or on a holiday, this would be useful...

I don't support , If it happens , someone can open a game with his tons of friends , and someone stranger join the game the friends can make deal to pause this game , so it will be abused.And for how much seconds pause?

I don't support.
Imagine a team with 10 person which lost against 8. -

==> PAUSE = Blocked game
Cool...

I don't support as stated above and imagine too that you are the minority.. You'll just have to wait for the majority to come back ?? If there was 20 players 9 will have to wait and it's shitty even if 1 only was against.

How about a pause where the vote has to be unanimous?

If its unanimous, yes.
