visible arena players on a searching arena table - before start

[silentProtest]

I stumbled upon a bug and wanted to inform just the tichu community it is possibleto see participants of arena searching beforehand - I wont bother to recreate it, just wanted to let you know.

fun thing is: when a table started I confirmed it was showing the right participants, and right now Im seeing people searching for arena with name in one of my tabs.

the bug might have something to do with having a blocked player searching arena and you clicking the link - have fun with that

for someone who wants to have some fun with that - the arena tables are created by some algorithmn - on the first look its incremental (since first 5 digigits stayed the same and the ID increased by 745... another time it went up by 3816 -- nevermind, no system behind it, its just the table id created one after another for all games.)

and another thing. it seems you can semi force your preferred settings on others even if they searched first (as in fast/slow game)

more things learned - it takes a while for it to create an arena table for you (pr join an existing one) - you can get a full table before someone else even if you started WAY after them (like 10 minutes), no idea why though

UPDATE: they almost fixed that bug !
