In-game turn time: 60 sec vs. 45 sec https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=66336.msg1280317#msg1280317

For a long time I didn't care much about turn times. OK, you have less than a minute, that's it. But lately I've noticed
that every time I have 45 secs to make my move, while my opponent has 60 secs. I kinda think everyone sees the
same, so everyone has 45 secs to think&act. What happens with the remaining 15 secs? Why do the server
needs that extra 15 secs in every turn?

One or both of the following:

1) Bad communication protocol between client and server
2) Slow servers

is it not just allowing some time to show the opponent what you played?

Spot on.

Wyand, remember your opponent's timer starts as soon as your turn finishes, but they don't see the timer until after your cards have been played on their end, which takes a few seconds. It goes both ways of course, only once the opponent has played all their cards and ended their turn will your game start to show you how it played out. The time this takes cuts into your turn a little, because on the other end the timer already started. Server lag has a role to play too but apart from the odd DC, this usually isn't very much.
