Re: "Classic Games' should be available in Arena

can we have the "names" of the Gurus, and ask them of their votes? That would onlt be fair if not all players get to vote. It just doesn't seem right that people come to BGA expecting to play by the published rules and find that some secret group has decided to change the rules, with no in...

Re: Eliminating the "Friendly Robber" Rule

BTW....in the places where you can learn about the game here on BGA - it is posted that "Friendly Robber is not a part of the games official ruleset . So lets remove it from the ARENA "competitve" game playing area. Lack of official recognition: The "Friendly Robber" rule is...

Re: "Classic Games' should be available in Arena

So it still seems that when someone wants to play "competitive" games" per the original rules that the rest of the world is familiar with, and which seem to have built in fairness by design, they are not able to expect to play in the "competitive" league by those rules. It d...

Re: "Classic Games' should be available in Arena

"So are you saying that everyone should have to play by the "classic" rules in Arena just because you happen to prefer that rule set? They are unlikely to ever have separate Arenas for different variants of a game within one season, so a choice has to be made and there is no reason th...

Re: "Classic Games' should be available in Arena

OK, so are you saying if you want to play Arena (competitive), you should not have the opportunity to play "Classic Rules" games?

So, should "we" take our memberships to more classic online game providers?

"Classic Games' should be available in Arena

It seems that games are being changed by "Gurus" to be played with "variant" rules. A couple that come to mind are Yatzee and Caton. When the changes are made, the Classic games with rules as written are being changed and made not available in Arena. So please keep the Classic ve...

Re: I don´t like Arena with Friendly Robber

I feel the coding for "friendly robber" needs modified so that if a player with 2 points attacks a player with 3 or more points should lose their protection from being attacked. Just doesn't seem fair to allow attacking while you are protected from attacks. Remove "friendly robber'!!

Re: If you don't want to play with these settings, change your preferences.

The most current situation is most likely the placement of game logs, which you can't see until you "play".

I am now deciding not to play any more games until progrmmers announce it has been fixed. you can try to select position of game logs, but the table is not created that way

Re: Why do people queue for a game and then decline to start?

perhaps we need to allow "abandon" without penalty if people change the rules (choose LT3 no Robber) after pairings come up. This in effect is changing the rules after placing initial settlements. Or feel free to red thumb who make those agreements?
