Board Game Arena

Yes, I've created and played a Real Time game (several, in fact) from the Play Now page... I've deleted cookies. I've cleared my browser cache. My browser is Microsoft Edge. STILL when I attempt to start a new game from the Play Now page it defaults to "Turn-based". Is it because, perhaps,...

That didn't much help. Creating a new table still defaults to "Turn-based" instead of "Real Time" It's really annoying. I even exited the site, cleared all cookies and cached files, closed the browser, logged back on to Boardgamearena and STILL it defaults to "turn-based&quo...

Similarly, I do not wish to see turn-based game on the main screen of open tables. How can I filter those out? As I said, I got tricked into playing a turn-based game I do not wish to play.... and other players in that game are not gracious enough to abandon it.

RESOLVED.

Please delete.

Why was that changed? I find it annoying to have to change that option every time I create a new table. Why don't the table options default to the options I chose on my last created table?

Is there a running list somewhere of how many sessions of each game have been played... daily, weekly, monthy, what have you...

It would be keen to see which games are attracting the most participants.... because I might want to get in on the action!

This is one of the best sites on the web. I've been here for a long time and I've witnessed an explosion in the number of games offered and in the number of players. It's not surprising to me that increased trafic might cause an occasional glitch. Who cares, really, when the annual fee is only 34 bu...

So, interestingly, I got an email notification that states "we judged that you may have been forced to leave the game due to a BGA server issue; therefore, we have removed it and restored your Karma and the ELO lost due to this penalty." Unfortunately, that is not the case. My ELO took a 2...

And while the disconnect penalty was cancelled (thank you for that) I was still charged with negative 24 ELO points for finishing last. It's unreasonable for anybody to sit around waiting for a server crash to clear up in the chance that the game will continue. In this case, I'm not sure that it eve...

At the end of the game, the team chat is already duplicated into the game chat, so that the other players can check, if someone cheated via team chat. But BGA can not prevent communication via external media (e.g. phone, WhatsApp, iMessage, e-Mail, …). That function doesn't seem to be working any m...
