Re: Rules are way too strict

Well, there is a difference between playing badly and throwing the game. Throwing the game in a team game should not be allowed. Problem is that humans are often bad at distinguishing between the two and, from experience, the most vocal players are often the least apt to actually make the distincti...

Re: Where is the all tables page?

You can use the Popular filter on the game list, it's the same result : https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?isPopular= No, unfortunately it's not the same result. What I am missing is: 1. see how many tables are actually played and a feeling of whether it's more turn-based or real-time 2. see how m...

Re: What Apocalypse themed games are there on BGA?

There's "Apocalypse at the Zoo of Carson City" ;) But that's mainly for the title, the game isn't very thematic.

Arctic Scavengers might interest you more.

Re: What are the odds...?

However the chances of ANYTHING weird/noteworthy to happen is much bigger. when you already know WHAT happened and after that ask "how are the odds" then they are already manipulated. If you had just stroke your big straight and the next 3 turns roll a big straight on the first roll you mi...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

..., there should be a matching ELO loss reduction for consecutive losses. At least this is being worked on. See here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172230 It's not enough because it still makes the winners reluctant to accept a rematch which is bad for making friends. If your po...

Re: 0 % karma still able to play ???????

But I would support a temp ban for reaching 0 karma. You don't get there with intermittent internet connection issues. You pretty much have to *try* to get your karma that low, and why would we want anyone like that in the player pool? You can get there by unexpected crises in your life that sudden...

Re: Prevented from reporting insults

Don't forget the duplicate reports, which were not included in that total, though the number of those were unstated. You have no basis for assuming this and stating it as fact. No basis for what? Your comment makes no sense. I also read Xate's message as the dublicates being a part of the 33, not o...

Re: bots?

What makes you think it's a bot? Was the thinking time strange or did they just play well and possibly used a strategy you didn't know yet?

High level Splendor is indeed a bit weird and not exactly what you would expect intuitively...

Re: Got expelled from a game that never started.

Whenever something on BGA takes long: press F5 (or swipe down or whatever does refresh on your device)
Don't wait 3 minutes with trying that ;)

Re: Change credit card?

I don't think you need to wait till close to the end. You can cancel it now and you keep your premium status until the end of paid period.
