Available Player Colors?

Post by DogMayor »

Is there a list anywhere of the available player colors? My preferred color is Cyan but it's not available. Thanks!

Go to your profile (upper right under your avatar). Then hit "actualize information" on the right near "description".
"Views" allows you to select your favourite colours from a list. Have a look if Cyan is in it.
(As far as I know this option is only available for premium members.)

You say cyan is "not available," so it sounds like you already know where the settings for favorite colors are, but cyan is an option there, so your statement is a little confusing. [But just in case, you can set your preferred color on the Appearance tab of the Preferences page in your settings.] But it sounds like you have a different question.

Are you asking which colors are available for Ark Nova? If so, you have to understand a couple things:
1) Not all games support all colors. On the Appearance tab there's a link called "supported games" that tells you which games support favorite colors. Ark Nova is in that list.
2) Two people can't have the same color at the same game, so you may not get your favorite color even if the game supports it.

So have you set your preferences to cyan as your first choice, but you weren't given cyan even though no one else has it?

I think it's clear the OP is asking which are the colors available in Ark Nova. He knows he can choose a preferred color in his profile, and that he can choose cyan there, but apparently he never gets cyan in Ark Nova, and doesn't see his opponents being cyan, so he assumes cyan is not an available color in Ark Nova. At least that's how I interpret the question.

Thank you both for your responses! I can be more clear: My favorite color is set as Cyan, second favorite is set as Red. Whenever I play a game, I am Red and no other player is Cyan. I do see Ark Nova listed as a game that supports favorite colors. My question is, am I set as Red because Cyan is not a color supported by Ark Nova?

Thanks!

Is anyone else having a problem with their colours being used? It used to work for me but isn't now.

I'm colour blind and it's basically rendering the site unusable...

Yes, me too. I keep having green for Carcassonne and can't tell my meeples from my opponent's.

Lots of players saying their color preference setting doesn't work anymore. Definitely a BGA issue.
