Re: Where the people ?
The site was at it's best probably about 2019. Most changes in the last couple years are not good, or outright terrible. All I can figure is maintaining arena must take all the time of the entire staff.

Re: Where the people ?
I agree with the reasons stated above. But also, a few years ago when they started "Arena" it basically divided the the players for each game into 2 halves, that don't see each other. The players who only play regular games don't see players who only play arena and vice versa. Many of the ...

Re: How are the game forums sorted?
This might not be related, but about that same time a similar bug started on the suggestion pages. When you open a table, and try to send suggestions to other players to join your game, the first person receives the suggestion as they should. But if you try to send a suggestion to a second player, t...

Re: Pairs of Clues in games of 3 & 4 - How must the 2 words be?
I've played about 500 games. Seeing the same word pop up for the 50th time can make this game pretty stale. What keeps it fresh is using 2-word clues, and trying to find a new way to clue the same old words in a new way each time. If you just use the same few clues each time you see a given word, th...

Re: games in progress is less useful now
Ok, I didn't see the large view option. That does help. I still can't see the names of who is at the table and who is master or beginner without clicking on each name individually. So it's still less info than the old page...which was better. What was lacking from the old display?

games in progress is less useful now
The "games in progress" page was useful. When I'm about to start a table, I could look at that page and see if any games with the same settings I like are almost done. That gives me an idea if soe players ill be available soon. Now that it's changed, and I can't see the settings at any of ...

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle
I spent some more time on this, and thought I was close to a solution a couple times, but it is indeed impossible. I haven't spent any time trying to solve the absolute minimum points I could be forced to take, but I imagine it would be at least two rows of cards. You must have figured out a good an...

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle
So the riddle is: Is there a hand in 5p pro that is absolutely safe no matter what opponents play?
It seems like there should be a solution. But I messed around with this for about 20 minutes without solving it. Pro is so dynamic, it's tough to figure out. It's an interesting puzzle.

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle
My first thought is to start with lowest cards, but I see there are issues.. I think this works: On the table 50, 52, 53, 54 My hand 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51 Play 51 first, then from biggest to smallest.. Oh, I see this doesn't work...hmmm, it's tricky...I'll think about it later and g...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates
The goals: 1. To continue to have a system like most of us have enjoyed. 2. To not have players who are basically inactive parked at the top. 3. To discourage cheating using multiple accounts. The answers: 2. I suggest a single 1 point ELO decay every 3 days for ONLY the top 20 ELO leaders of each ...
