If I get the no.1 rank when a game is just developing I don't need to sit on my Elo points playing just one game against a weak opponent every so often to maintain it - I can carry on playing and even if my rank falls I will still have say current rank 62nd (best rank 1st). In other words, you want...

I am totally happy to jump in on this because I've hated how this works since they first implemented it (I even left for 8 months because of it), and hate it even more watching how it actually plays out in real games. So I'll post about this every time it comes up. ;) I have to say first that I don'...

Yes, you can use the current one or any of the lower ones. You'll still move up on the track when you're allowed. And it does work, but I kind of remember having trouble figuring it out. I haven't played it for a while, but I was thinking you click on the one you're choosing, and if you can make any...

I'm pretty sure this has been requested before, and the easiest thing is just re-clicking to un-do it. To me, the bigger problem is clicking one you didn't need and then it goes to waste to use for something else. And of course the response was pay attention. Which is indeed a good point, but then y...

I find it difficult to take someone seriously when they return 20 minutes later and ask if it's "still broken."

Agreed.

And it can be really difficult to scroll down the game log finding information, especially when so many things happen automatically.

I have to agree with Cappie. There are certainly going to be times when someone wants to talk in the chat, for whatever reason, and therefore need people who speak their language. There may even be games that require some discussion. (For instance, are you allowed to talk during Hanabi?) I personall...

Some will view conceding as rude and some will view not conceding as rude. It depends on who you ask. This. I have seen this question asked time and time again, here and at other sites, and always there are opinions on both sides, and there probably always will be. Meaning there is no answer. The o...

As far as I remember, costs are reduced automatically. i.e. a building costing 4 would only take 3 coins from you. I find it to be common, regardless of game or site, to have things like that happen automatically because the game knows to do it. That is assuming you don't have to pick between options.
