Re: arena timing out

When you timeout you lose points as you would lose the game. In addition your Karma gets a -10 penalty. I think most of those people timing out just queued and forgot about it, I used to do so a lot back when I started playing. There really should be a button to accept the game like in regular games

Re: What are your favorite / least favorite tickets?

Since I guess the point of the thread is to talk about personal preferences more than tickets "valuableness" which is pretty much objective, I'd say my least favourite is Portland-Nashville (17), I really dislike it even if it's not so bad as many others. Boston-Miami is also one of my lea...

Re: Reporting players who block - just why?

It is bush league. Play your own game. Don't worry about blocking mine. It is a competitive game, imagine blaming the goalkeeper in a soccer game for preventing the enemy team from scoring goals instead of scoring his own. That's what you are doing here and it's just complete nonsense. If you want ...

Re: Impossible play a Lucky Numbers?

That is a tactic of BGA, if you are not premium, you can play some games and they "block you" after dozen of games. I know that because I had premium few times and everything works perfectly, when my premium account expires it still works great for 10-20 games and after that I cannot make...

Re: What Are "Standard Settings" for New Games?

What do you mean by 3p being unbalanced in particular? Sure, I'd expect it to be unbalanced, that's just the norm for any kind of player interactive game with more than 2 players, but what makes 3p worse than 4p or 5p? Menettm is right, the game is a lot more random when so many accidental blocks c...

Re: What Are "Standard Settings" for New Games?

Just the basic game. 2 players is preferred by the pros, even tho some also like multi, while casual players generally prefer 4p or 5p. 3p is usually never played since it's unbalanced, but it still makes some sense in a "do not be last" tournament format

Re: What do you think of a "destination swap" format?

While I like the concept, I don't think this is suitable for TTR because knowing what the initial set of objectives is, in most cases means knowing what the objectives taken are. Also at that point the luck factor is not reduced, but just concentrated (and probably increased) in the cards draw, beca...

Nice, which one is that? I found 4-5 different extensions for BGA on the store
