Cheating in Pingimus
I would like to know what kinds of hints are not allowed in this game. We know that alphabets are not allowed on your picture, but how about some indirect hints on the words mentioned? Like using underscores to hint the number of letters involved(e.g. ____means 4 letters), split the word into severa...

Re: Arena Season 5: let's go!
Would really like to see draftosaurus adopting both the summer and winter mode. As you see from this poll: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=341&t=20272&p=83434&hilit=draftosaurus#p83434 In fact it is more balanced with the luck factor with 2 rounds in this hybrid mode and...

Re: Un-Rank Obvious Cheaters on Top 5
One thing I've noticed is this player shall not be named is trying to prevent detective work by exploiting the replay bug: if you start the game in realtime mode and turn the game into turnbase mode, then you can only replay up to the point when the game is set into turnbase. What is there to hide ...

Re: Un-Rank Obvious Cheaters on Top 5
Once, an arbitrator mention to me that those obvious moves of kingmaking (for example, intentionally losing when leading) are not infringing the BGA regulations. Can you post a direct quote? If such actions don't fall within the current moderationpolicy anymore, then it does explain why no substant...

Re: Un-Rank Obvious Cheaters on Top 5
I agree that further actions need to be made on this issue. That player has infringed in severe kingmaking moves for very long time already, due to the inactivity of BGA arbitrators, short-term muting or reduction on reputations in fact impose zero deterrent effects to him. https://ibb.co/19m8f3B I...

Re: Un-Rank Obvious Cheaters on Top 5
I wish there wasn't so much debate on this public name-calling thing, and more debate on what should be ACTIVELY done against cheating. :( Totally. I think this thread is a bit going off-track here. I think there are two main questions to ask with regards to cheating on bga. (1) Is the punishment f...

Re: Settings for arena
I agree. No point for making them hidden as in turn base we can still mark down what colors our opponents had, if so why not change it to visible for our convenience?

Re: Arena Season 3: let's go!
If the trophies of those less popular games are still kept, I anticipate that maybe only 10 or fewer players can reach elite and the trophies will become meaningless, to those who are luckier to get a table in the coming season.

Re: Arena Season 3: let's go!
I want to see if there are any solutions to the games that are really not popular. I tried waiting them in real-time for like 30 minutes still cannot get a table. I think these games would have to disappear on arena as nobody can be playing it now.
