Blocking suggestion

[svenlutte]

Today, a zone get blocked up to 30 minutes, regardless of type of turfer. This is OK for competitors in a "race" but not fun, if you are visiting as a tourist and a zone is have many block minutes left and you not will be back for long time (or never).

My suggestion is, if u comes to a blocked zone.
1. You still can take it, but only receive 1/2 zone takes points and no hours points.
(Will needs a decision in own area, if hunting points and gives same as a revisit).
2. You can NOT take the zone again in 24 hours (blocked for you, regardless of changing zone owner).
3. The zone is counted in your statistics as a unique zone, most important as a tourist visitor.

When alone, I have been sitting and waiting 20 minutes for a unique zone, but if I have the family with me, they will never accept that.

By this, it will be easier also for occasional turfers to take zones
And hopefully more turfers will continue, even if not for the competition part in the game.

Been suggested many times similar but yes, this game needs a casual mode where there are no blocking timers that only are annoying nobody want stand and wait up to 30 min i agree or if u play this with your girlfriend or entire family or whatever its no fun when u block each others..

Blocking should only exist in the normal game where you compete for points and medals but for example as a tourist u want to walk alone in city and dont worry about someone blocking u shouldnt have to deal with blocks random all over city.

I've made a similar suggestion, called "tourist mode".
