low-pearl ?

a low-pearl entry of a previous entry by the same player is not handled right (in this case by me)
it will be corrected by the end of this round

Might I suggest that a longer pause be introduced between games? At least an additional 24 hours.

we have
Code: Select all
WAIT_IDLE=22+WAIT_CLOSED=2 hours idle + WAIT_START=8 hours close=>start + WAIT_OPEN=8 hours start=>open

I coded an interval not a multiple of 24 between close and open for variability
suggestions for WAIT_START/WAIT_OPEN?

My point is to add a 24-hour period between your final and start states, so that a calendar day usually passes between the absolute end of one game and the actual start of play of the next.

I think that 8 or 16 hours have the sense of fair play, but 24 hours does not.

Just to be clear, my suggestion is to add 24 hours to the 8 or whatever, not to replace it.

I increased WAIT_START and WAIT_OPEN, both by 8 hours
so there will be 24+8 hours between closed and open
rules update to reflect this

Sounds good. And, of course, the games' starting times are randomized basically by the times of the last valid submissions in each game.
