The issue is publishers wanting to make money off of every game played right from the start. All less popular games should start non premium. This allows for their to be a community for the game. Once that community grows then you make the decision on if it should be turned to premium or not. The p...

Then again, if no one does their part, no one will benefit either. Agreed. But no one is creating the tables currently. And some users can 't. Remove the Premium status for now, and see if letting everyone do their part benefits everyone. If it doesn't, reenable it. There are people playing it, not...

If you don't care about ELO which I assume is the point of such a mode, why can't you just ignore it? You can't have friendly mode in its current form enforce penalties, given it gets used for games that are bugged in Alpha etc. So you'd have to create a separate mode, that I can't see being that p...

How profits have been explained to me is bga allocates a certain % to give to publishers. That number is split between every premium game and the % of what each game gets is dependent on the time players spend playing the game. So if we are using coal baron as an example it only got 117 total games ...

What on earth are you saying? You want "professional mode" ( ???) but without Elo. But you also want friendly mode with penalties? What? OP probably wants to be able to play real serious competition without being bothered by something as trivial as ELO... To be fair, Arena games do hide y...

I’ve raised this topic in a previous thread. I don’t think it was more than a yr ago and yet the number of premium games have seem to risen by almost +200 in that timeframe :shock: I had the same thoughts as op. Because I stumbled upon a game that has very few plays but its premium. There are some u...

I think there should be a category in reporting where one could tag player as time bully. It is quite often a strategy of players (at least Catan cities) where, when they do not win, they bully players on time - it is sometimes really just a matter of seconds when in complex turns, that people kick...

95% of players who come to the forums to say this are wrong. It is very very rare someone makes an accusation of this sort and is right (which is why calling players out by name is punished). I'm pretty sure that's not particularly the reason. It should be forbidden regardless of the occurrence of ...

Taking notes is not cheating. There is an embedded notes section provided by the BGA website itself, presumably to be used for ... taking notes. So if you take notes in a memory game like trio, orwhen you simply can't look at the discarded cards like Heat, are you afferming that it's not cheating? ...

Yes. Razor isn’t imagining things. I didn’t know what the end date was but just got the urge to hop in arena yesterday. It said 16 days and I thought this isn’t nearly enough time and was going to wait until next season to think about hopping in. Then today I thought “oh well! I will play for fun th...
