Another idea may be to force people to give a comment with every red thumb as to why the thumb was given. That way the hunger stemming from the "what did I do wrong" question that eats away at every good player with a red thumb would be satisfied. To take the idea even further, illegitima...

I use the following conventions/tricks because they feel logic and unambiguous, but they are almost always ignored or misinterpreted. They usually cost more score points than they help to gain... Could you help me understand why? How many games of Hanabi have you played? How many games of Hanabi ha...

One cool thing about BGA, if I do what I agreed to do and keep in the time limits, for the most part, I get the privilege of playing in games normally. If I don't, I have absolutely no one to blame for any consequences except myself. I can't control anyone's behavior at the tables but mine, so I do ...

Re: #11, if I have red-thumbed someone, I want a bright red warning if I'm attempting to enter an already-created game with them, and I want them banned from games I create. This request comes up over and over again, and the response is: "We don't want people to know who red-thumbed them."...

I joined to find Time Masters tutorials, and the members there are happy to teach pretty much anything you want. If you like, join, introduce yourself, and say whic...

I'd love to see an ultra-fast level for 6 Nimmt! 3 min start, +30 sec per move.

Absolutely, the time limits don't force a player to move, but it helps

Also, DO NOT contact designers or publishers d...

Speaking generally, as I haven't had an opportunity to kick people in a week or two... They must have had a reason to kick you, or they wouldn't have kicked you. The most common reason I kick someone is failing to respond to a start notice. Also, if you start a realtime table, and then time out, I w...

I believe those are the number of quantum cubes dropped, and nothing else. 5th cube dropped wins. Using that counter is also helpful to the programmer to check for game end, so it's not totally useless. If ELO works in Quantum like it does everywhere else, your absolute score difference doesn't matt...

You can always add a personal note regarding someone. There are a few players that I play against who play VERY slowly. I put this in a personal note to myself. If I don't have time, I don't play with them. If I do have time, I do play with them. There is no need to give them a Red Thumb. There's a...
