That is exactly what I said. The one I did has it in my record as _Hotseat01. I never said your opponent should get an invite. I specifically stated that even if that person is a member here, it will not be related to their account. (This is why I tested it using the name of a friend here, to find out what it did.) It'll be on your account only, you just stick any old name in, whether or not they are a member here. Hotseat means all turns are played "from the same seat," and you switch off taking turns, using the same game screen. If your friend is Joe, you take your turn, then a big message pops up on the screen and says "It is Joe's turn." He takes his turn on that same screen. It does NOT switch to his account because it's not using his account, which is the part you're not understanding. He takes his turn using the same game screen, the same one you just used, then a message pops up saying "It's Efor's turn." Etc. Try actually playing the game so you can see what happens. (Be sure to put a max 2 players on it so it will start.) You could take Joe's turns because it's not his account - it's yours. (Or vice versa.) It's like real life - nothing is enforced and you just have to pay attention to whose turn it is.Efor wrote:I did it like you said. It did not work, my friend did not get any invite from me. Default name of opponent player was _Hotseat01.Liallan wrote: I have to wonder if you are misinterpreting how the hotseat works. You're not really inviting him through his account. I just created an invite, did 2 player, used the hotseat mode, and wrote in a friend's name...
In other words, the game was not really with her account, just with her name. The record in my account shows my opponent as "_Hotseat01."
Maybe you should do a bit of reading up on what a Hotseat mode is. This site did not originate it, far from it. But you need to understand how it works before you decide it's not working.
Maybe there is some other issue going on, but I don't think it's related to the Hotseat mode. "Play from same IP" is not the same as "Hotseat mode," and I think you're mixing the two.
a whole lot of love has been put into this by designers and programmers and translators so you can enjoy playing a game with another human any time day or night. $25 is nothing compared to the labor of programming the simplest game here. I thank everyone who has put their labor of love into this! IF there was any scam involved in using your creditcard to pay for premium because you didnt have skills to offer, this site woud not still be here years later. So from a tech dummy that could build all the pieces, the desk, or built the boiler for your comfortable home but has no idea how to make it digital THANK YOU BGA for more and more options for a few pennies
