Re: Stuck when it's players turn but bga says it's mine

I suspect what is happening is that the opponent is forgetting to click "confirm"
This feature needs a countdown timer similar to Ticket to Ride.

Re: Adjustments on quitting players

This seems like a step in the right direction, however there are bugs Backgammon Table 13500555. I received a leave penalty when I ended a game that my opponent timed out on. Oddly enough, the leave penalty is not listed on the table's page but is on my page and is listed whenever I join/start a ga...

Re: New feature on BGA soon

Ability to have tighter restrictions when creating a table, such as:

< 5% Left during the game
< 5% Ran out of time during the game
>95% Positive opinions


Almost everyone meets the current most stringent filters.

Therefore when you log on briefly you can play urgent games
That would be a great feature.

Re: stopping specific players to join my games

I'd welcome an option to start turn-based games myself instead of automatically, too. ("let me start" vs. "start when enough people have joined" shouldn't be too hard to implement.) A blacklist to prevent users from joining would be great, too. I am also in favor of blocking cer...

Re: Restrict Table Access to >95% Positive & <5% leave/time

I have very few red thumbs (0.8%) and most of them are from Hanabi. There are way too many unfriendly people on BGA and it would be great to filter them out. 10% is too lenient. To get this back on subject . . . I have not played Hanabi since my previous post due to the large amount of rude players...

Re: Public information: sex

Hey Een, thanks for this update! I also suggest to add a third option in the sense of "I prefer not to say/Other" - for people who were forced to check their gender before this update, and possibly for people who don't identify with being male or female. I agree and/or the possibility to ...

Re: Major improvement about quitting players

. . . the vast majority of abandoners on turn-based games do so towards the beginning of the game, usually newbies. I'm not going to go through entire games skipping turns or having some zombie player take their turn for them. . . . Again, turn-based doesn't work the same as real-time. We need to b...

Re: Major improvement about quitting players

. . . you had a button to skip their turn? Because I was left with the impression that this would happen automatically for turn-based - and in fact, that was confirmed. (Unless it's been changed in the meantime.) Does "skipping" a turn always mean the zombie takes a random turn? That is t...

Re: Major improvement about quitting players

I had no choice - I was required to play in a tainted game. I'd much rather of waited until the player returned, or ejected them. . . . Please, there should be some option so I can avoid being in games which allow turn-skipping. I'm in the middle of Seasons Table n°12242057. One player was a day ou...
