damage due to profile preview before game starts

Post by mjsmjs »

When the game is about to start, there is this preview page where players have to click "Accept" or "Cancel". However, the same page also shows ELO points so other participants can already see who the strongest player is. When the game starts, other players gang up on the strongest player.

Suggestion, preview page should only show "Accept" or "Cancel" and no ELO points. This way players only see list of participants and every player will play normally without any prejudice against one particular player. ELO points are anyway shown later at end of the game.

You can always find each player's elo in their profile.

Since the game lobby and "ready to start" screen are provided by BGA (not me), it is not specific to the game of Coup. I can't make any change here even if I wanted, and I doubt that BGA admins will make a change specific to Coup. I also agree that hiding the ELO on this screen is of little value since it is shown elsewhere (and can't be hidden on other pages like the user profile).
