	Anti-addiction idea Enter the AD-FREE zone

I know we see only good comments on Apolyton about MOO3's timer. But something alot more useful could be implemented in TBS...

Maybe this timer should also have a "bell" that would "ring" at a given hour you programmed to say you "Your session will automatically close just after you finish this turn, so that you can undergo your minimum everyday sleep/actions." I guess it could be said more nicely but anyway...

That would be an awesome advanced option, no?...

The independent groups thread should serve as an anti-addiction idea.

Its not in the games companies' best interests to remove the "one more turn" factor is it?

War of Art: It is not in their interest to oblige the player to stop playing, but it is not for their interest to oblige him to play :P

They are paid when people like what's on the CD and I think many would appreciate.

I can't think of anyone who would want to use that option.


Although an alarm clock would be useful, so as not to forget that your dinner is burning because you got caught up in the game.

I'd probably give such an option a try. Though I know I have on time closed Civ2 saying "I must go to sleep" just to relaunch it immediately afterwards because I just had a brilliant idea on how to thwart the XXX...

Interesting. Note that technically it's very easy to write a little separate program that will just terminate the game at a certain time. But, nothing to prevent you from relaunching .
