Board Game Arena

Because each league is a floor more games will help you reach higher leagues than someone of the same skill as you due to the win streaks.

At elite things are a bit different and I suspect there you'll probably settle around a value based on your winrate

Even weirder this is a no time limit game which you'd assume would be exempt from jokers. I wonder if that's the cause of the bug there.

I suspect scenario 2. 4 time jokers would give 16 days and the user has a note that this is their first game and turn time is doubled which would match the 32 days they have.

Seems like a bug - a time joker should give a flat 4 days even if it's your first game.

This does not ruin the opponent's experience; they get an instant victory and can immediately move on to another game. This is probably where you lose people. I'm on BGA because I like to play games. Winning is certainly nice but is secondary to actually playing. If I spend time queuing or get a go...

So, among your most pressing issue are: The wrong 2-letter suffix is being used to indicate placement relative to others? That's not my most pressing issue but a specific example. For big things I'd love to see many new features added to tournaments but that seems unlikely given that there are thou...

There's some issues that, at least to me, seem like low hanging fruit. I'd like to see some time spent going through bug reports and clearing them up or at least resolving them some other way. Small example is the arena places - you'll sometimes see things like "31th place" which has been ...

In some video games you get eXperience Points (usually shortened to XP) for progressing and this can help level up and things.

They're not really "for" anything on BGA - just a small reward for doing things on the site

What I observed and described does not make sense regardless of who expelled that player. Can you clarify this part? From looking at the replay things do seem to make sense, at least to me, if you had kicked the player. Yellow was already 17 hours in the red on the 28th April The log says that you ...

For a lot of people, myself included, if I go to the bga twitter page the last post I see is from 2023 which made me think for a while that they just didn't post updates at all

Spouse and I have each received a penalty for ending a 2p game (w/ each other). ... however, there should be a way to end a game early without penalty. Note that BGA makes a distinction between quitting a game (which anyone can do at anytime for a penalty) and conceding (which can be done in a 2 pl...
