Re: Rule Change (variant) proposal

That's a great idea, should be pretty straightforward to implement. Not sure if it would be enought though.

Please showcase your options in the tournament name

Hello, knowing that some games vary wildly depending on options (especially number of players) please, please, please, display your option choice in the name of the tournament. Especially when they are non-conventional. As an example I'm playing quite a lot of 7x7 kingdomino. Arena and most tourname...

Re: Partie abandonnée automatiquement

Quelques éléments de réponse : - pour éviter que les tournois s'éternisent il y a une durée maximale pour chaque partie - cette durée est calculée a partir du temps attribué à chaque joueur, visible dans la configuration du tournoi - il est très difficile d'évaluer automatiquement le gagnant probabl...

Tournament finding

With the hold put on the turn-by-turn arena people are probably going back to tournament to find competitive turn-by-turn game. The tournament interface is not perfect obviously but I think that the main problem is that you cannot find a tournament based on your own criteria, and thus have to go thr...

Re: Turn-based Arena: proposed solution to get it back

I think that there is a distinctio between technique A and B/C. Indeed technique B and C are only for people that are not in elite (I wonder what percentage of games this represent by the way) and thus can be addressed separately. A is the main problem in my user experience : I don't really care if ...

Re: Arena Season 3: let's go!

I second Slyythe point : stopping completely the turn base is a pretty bad fix. The solution is easy : - have a fixed timer, like in tournament (instead of adding time at each turn) - do not allow to start game at the end of season (or better, allow them with half the remaining time) - do not allow ...

Re: Prevent end-of-season "cheating" by not ending game

@Ankeszu : He is not exceeding his time, but using the maximum amount to differ his losses, thus earning more wins than deserved for a few days, leading to reaching higher positionning in the ladder. I suggest the following to ensure that all game end before deadline : when close to the end give a m...

Holding out game for ranking

Hi, we have currently a player holding out games (one move from loosing, no choice anymore, playing on other games) just to get more points before the end of the season. I find this quite unfair... I hope that if we have enough support from the community bga will adapt its system to prevent such att...

Prevent end-of-season "cheating" by not ending game

I have currently an adversary having one more move to do to end the game (and loose) on 7 different games. He does not want to do it before the end of season to artificially augment his arena points.

Re: [ARENA Season 1] Poll on Expansions

Why is the strategic variant not an option ? I really think it diminish the chance part of the game by allowing you to build a strategy not based on luck.
