Extended Timer Option? It would help streaming!
I've seen people requesting a way to play this with people online. The problem, of course, is that streaming delays things by 6-10 seconds.

Is there any way to increase the timers on, say, Fibbage, by 10 seconds? The game doesn't score based on time, so there'd be no problem balancing things.

Then it could be livestreamed with people IN the stream participating.

To both the players and the Devs: Is there any way to make this happen?

(Also to the Devs: Did you know I'm an Easter Egg in YDKJ 5? Seriously. Look up JeremiahBerek. That's my old screen name. Or was it 6...)

There is not a way for you to do this right now. We actually did extend the timers a bit to account for Twitch, but anymore would have been too long when you are forced to wait for someone who is unresponsive.

This is certainly an issue we hope to address in future projects though!

Thank you for the answer! I'll keep this in mind and try some Twitchin' with buddies. :-)

UPDATE:
YES: The timer is generous enough that I was able to host several successful games over livestream. Hooray!

NO: Someone found out there was a livestreaming game with text boxes and proceeded to submit racial slurs as their Lie on Fibbage again and again. :-/

You made an excellent product and, as a longtime Jack fan, I am grateful. A shame humans exist.
