updating this idea, as per Ice's proposals.
Proposal:
Many times i have found myself sitting staring at the game, waiting for great buildings, event buildings, supply producers, coin producers and town hall, all of which have 20 minutes left to wait. Personally, i login once a day. Sometimes, real life time restraints make collecting, doing your daily run around, and logoff just not possible. Usually spend on a city shield, and logoff earlier than normal, because staring at a screen for 20 minutes, would put me to sleep.
Other similar suggestions were made, but nothing quite like i am suggesting, as it becomes a new tavern spend option.
Reason:
As explained above, people have real lives, and sometimes, the real life, can overcome the gaming life, and make the gaming life obsolete, all because of a little time snap. Your options become either A, city shield, continue the following day (or later in the day), B wait out the remaining 20 minutes, and hope you don't mess up real life, or C, offer an idea in the game, with an interesting twist.
Details:
In the Friend's Tavern, would be a "Time Warp" to speed up EVERYTHING, the only issue is cost, which would be extremely high. For example; like myself, 20 minutes to wait to collect everything, but if i waited, THEN played the game, good chance i miss my bus. So Friend's Tavern, Time Warp... 15 minute Time Warp costs 1500 or 15,000 Tavern Silver, 25 minute Time Warp would cost 2500 or 25,000 tavern silver, and finally 45 minute Time Warp costing 4500 or 45,000 tavern Silver (see? can be quite costly).
Balance:
The only impact i can see, is the normal speed boosts for supplies and coin, but i don't foresee it really making much of a difference. It's a one shot Tavern Purchase, and to make it fair, each one can have a lengthy cool-down. Purchase for 15 minutes, but it requires 15 hours cool down.
Abuse Prevention:
Again, the abuse possibilities are using the Time Warp, THEN using any other speed up, but by adding the cool-down timer after using a Time Warp, leaves the player not being able to use another Time Warp for quite awhile. Maybe 15 minute Time Warp, means 15 hours cool down, 25 minute Time Warp, means 25 hour cool down, etc.
Summary:
The thought of this was just due to time restraints of real life, and that's really it. Anything can be done with this, and it can be very versatile, the creators and admins could get creative. Plus it makes that song pop in your head for hours, Let's do the Time Warp again... (tomorrow).
