Hi,

On BGA, most players wait to receive a notification by email or other means before taking their turn. This is particularly important for turn-based games. However, in Pericles, the current system only uses basic messaging to request defense authorization. This means that when active player A requests defense authorization from player B, it is B who must act — yet the timer continues to run for player A.

This situation is unfair because A cannot proceed with their turn, yet risks being penalized: they could be excluded from the game, receive time penalties, and even have their BGA reputation negatively impacted. It is unacceptable for a game to allow this to happen without a proper solution.

There must be a programmed mechanic that protects player A in such cases. I would like to emphasize that this is crucial for turn-based mode, although it is not necessary for live games. Every BGA game should be properly adapted to the different modes offered by the platform.

Thank you.
