Setting additional restriction requests when starting a game

Post by Zinphad »

Some games have additional text on them requesting folks with only a certain level of experience, or karma, or in a specific time range. How does one set these things? Hopefully, there are instructions somewhere that I have not yet come across.

Using Manual game selection (from the "Play Now" link at the top of each site page), create a table then click "Restrict Table Access" to the right of the "Players at this table" label, uncheck whichever level players you don't want under "Restrict by level" then click "OK." This preference should be saved when creating tables for this game in the future.

As for karma, select an option under "Restrict by reputation" below where you find "Restrict by level."

By time range, I don't know if you mean setting playing hours for fast turn-based games or if you want to filter players by time zone. The former you can do for turn-based games 8 moves per day and faster. The latter you can't do.

You can also do this if creating games from the game page - the little door icon beside the number of players has these settings tucked behind it.

Thank you, just the information I was looking for. Never tried to start a game with 8 turns per day (or more) but indeed the Playing hours option pops up.
