• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
I am trying to search for Fast Turn-Based Games through the lobby (boardgamearena.com/lobby) which is the only place that allows me to set my preferences to be specific with Playing Hours, so that I don't randomly get slotted in with someone who plays when I'm asleep, and vice versa. However, I've been searching for days and I haven't gotten a hit.
When I try to search for a game from the game panel (boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=wingspan), I am matched within minutes, sometimes within seconds. The problem with this is that I basically can't play Fast Turn-Based games because I have no control over the time zone that I choose in the game panel. I either choose 1 specific 12 hour window, or it seems that I basically have no preference at all (Flexible basically means 'No Preference'). Some games are acceptably within 3-6 hours of my preferred time slot, which I can deal with, but to be 10 hours out of my preferred time slot in a Fast Turn-Based game, such as a 24 move game, is not playable. My opponent will have the opportunity to flag me in every one of those games. • Which browser are you using?
