Board Game Arena

I am not sure if it needs to be frozen, but it would be nice if the newly made tables were added to the bottom of the list instead of the top. This would prevent it from disrupting where you are trying to click and make it easier to follow. It would also make it more likely for people to join tables...

Just click edit next to their name and click "promote to admin."

There are definite and obvious differences between real-time and turn-based play, but since they are playing a game with the same rules --be it under different time constraints-- I do not think rating the games differently is a necessary change. I do think, however, that for the Legendary Inventors ...

Like many people posting here seem to, I find the idea of separating ELO and prestige pretty interesting. The thing about ELO is that it is inherently valueless and the only reason people play to raise it is to obtain a certain ranking or status. As a result, I would imagine unlinking rankings and E...

I agree resetting ELOs could be harsh. Could there be a decaying ELO system instead? I realize right now players become unranked after 60 days of inactivity, but their ELOs do not change. Could every week a player does not play a game, they just lose a few ELO points in that game? I think that would...

Sounds fun. After I finish editing some of my more recent reviews, I'll make some of these.

Today I was playing on Dragonheart table #24114321 and was moments away from winning when the server cut out. The result was the other player kicked me from the game (that was his right, but I was able to get back online probably less than a minute later). As this was out of my control due to the ma...
