How do you abandon games you never actively entered?

Post by Wentu »

A few days ago the logo of BGA changed.
Coincidentally, I really dont know how but I was "put" into 14 Arena games of My City Roll and Build.
Some of them against the same player, some with different players, all 2 player games. It is NOT a tournament.
I cannot enter the game. When trying to enter, the loading stops at 10%. There are three buttons there that I cannot press.

Why was I put there? Is it some promotional thing for the change of the site aspect? How can I exit those games (without a penalty in karma, please)?
I would like to write to my opponents to know how they see the situation from their perspective but I know it is very frown upon to contact people who are not in my friends list.

I already wrote a bug report for the game itself but it doesnt seem to be related specifically to the game My City R&B itself, it is something that happens BEFORE the game starts.

F12 shows "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'rules')"

What do you suggest to do? I really dont like to have my list of games clogged with "fake" games.

Thanks!

No, there is not a promo for something like this - BGA don't enter people in games they don't sign up for. That's not to say that what you're seeing isn't a bug of some kind, just that it's not something they do on purpose.

It looks like you perhaps tried to sign up for one game of Roll & Build and something went wrong. I've heard anecdotally of people trying to queue for a single game via the new lobby (game page) and getting multiple somehow but I don't think it's clear how. I think I've normally seen 2-3 duplicates though, not 14.

If you end up being able to get into the games, you can try explaining the situation to your opponents and proposing to abandon. I can see you've already raised a bug, and the developer has responded at least once, so hopefully they might look into it for you. Otherwise there isn't much you can do (or that anyone here can do). You can try contacting BGA support, which is probably worth doing sooner rather than later because if you can't get into those games, you're probably looking at some pretty bad penalties if they time out. Are the games indicating it's currently your turn, or are some on your opponents turn (suggesting they may also not be able to access those games)?

I cannot even enter the games! The loading of the game stops at 10%. It seems some rules are missing.
Thx for the reply.

I tried to contact "BGA Support" but all that happens is that I am sent back to the bug pages.
I think i will try crossposting to a "BGA bug" instead of a "My City R&B bug"

Anyways, this is what I see:
