Can this be increased to at least 5 more minutes to 10 minutes? It seems like a really short period of time.....
Time to leave game

Opinions? This should be easy to do, but do others think it should be done?

I'm not quite sure whether I understand the suggestion, nor the idea behind it?
I assume you mean the 5min timer that starts when you join a LIVE game? That when that timer runs out and you haven't confirmed to still be around, that you get kicked out - that timer? Why would you want that to be increased to 10min? This thing is actually how I missed my only turn here...( Turns (missed / taken) 1 / 5547 - went to the toilet when there were 1/5 players in a game... came back... it was 5/5 and I had just missed my turn... still regret that day/event

What's the benefit of changing it? Yes, it might fill up games faster, but it will likely lead to more missed turns?
Yes, it saves time, less confirming that you're still around, but does that cost so much trouble? The increased risk of missing turns outweighs it for me (could even imagine people already logging of before the game starts, so getting kicked out for inactivity when the game starts).
Happy to hear more opinions.

i agree with alex here. it will lead to missed turns.
the only time i'd wish for it to be longer is when playing with a preferred partner (join order) hoping the sequence of join is correct before the game starts. preffered partner may time out, log back on out of join order.

Is it possible to make this an option? It's just a bit annoying when you're waiting around for players to join.......
