Suggestion : Time out call

Hi,

I have a suggestion for a adding to the game. It could be nice to be able to ask for a time out. The other player would receive the message and could accept or not the time out. Il could be a 1 min or 2 min.

It would be nice for few reasons...First, when you play a long game (6-8-10 ends), it could be nice to have a little break. Second, in those games, a LOT of things can happen at home. Well, we all know the expression "shit happen".

So, this is my suggestion : Being able to ask for a time out call.

Thanks,

I'd rather see the hog line rule fixed.

When you play a long game, you have the option for a 1 min break after each end.

OP

Yes, ye got the one minute break, but after that, we lose a rock if we are not ready. So, it could be nice to be able to agree with the other player to call for a time out. The break is only

after

 an end, but when we are playing an end, we can't stop playing. Thats why a time out could be very useful ;)

that's not true. After 2 mins if you're first you'd lose a rock. If you have hammer you'd have 3 mins. 

You have one minute between ends in set end games unless you press i'm ready, and if you're not ready and you press that button, well then you're just being dumb. 

If the ends aren't set you can take as long as your opponent wants to wait around to play.

Sorry, w/hammer you'd have 2mins + the time you're opponent takes to throw.
