Re: Newbies quitting... a LOT

Only happened once in recent times. And I blocked them afterwards. I think you just had a bad run. You can choose not to play with newbies.

Game related forums

Can we please sort the "Game Related Forums" by alphabetical order? Makes no sense the way it is and can make it difficult to find a game. Edit: (Based of the responses): Ok, I now understand why it is in that order but there needs to be a option to change the sort order alphabetically. Th...

"World" Tournaments

I've just seen EIGHT tournaments coming up that are listed as "World" (Eg. "World Open" in Ticket to Ride) that then limit the playing time each day to what is suitable for their continent. If you are going to call a tournament "World", it needs to be 24 hours so everyo...

Deliberate trolling

I have a player who, looking at their history, seems to deliberately join tournaments and then not play at all, ruining it for the other players. But if I try to report this, there is no option for this behavior. Apparently this is not against their rules. Surely it must be.

Re: Normal mode

This game has gone back to alpha, as announced on 14th november: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=126106#p126106 I thought if you find people playing in normal mode, they might have started it before this change. But this is not true for example for this game, which started today: h...

Normal mode

I'm seeing some people are being able to play Point Salad in Normal Mode but it doesn't allow you to create in that mode. How is this possible? Was a real time game, not a turn based one.

Re: Game time

This is the only game where I was forced out because of not being able to manage time and an opponent mashing the expulsion button. I've got experience with myriad games that require far more strategic planning and never had this issue. I have a handful of games in stone age so, it's going to take ...

Re: Who goes through?

Your understanding is sort of correct, but that only applies when the game is stopped because it reached the maximum duration. For your game, one of the other players skipped the person that had run out of time. In this case, a different method is used to rank the players. What I've heard is that t...

Who goes through?

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding was that if a tournament match was abandoned for someone going overtime that the players with the most time left got through. But in a recent game, I finished third despite having the most time left. Please explain.
