First player

[Pegli]

Hallo,
could you tell me how the game set who is the first player?

I thought it would be random, but yesterday I started in two game on thirteen played, and today none on six...

Maybe I'm missing something?

It is random as long as it‘s not a rematch with the same players - and that‘s what can produce such an outcome, as with the dice rolls which sometimes allow massive progress and sometimes no progress at all.

Now I'm sure that something IS broken.

Yestarday, about twenty games, I started no more than 4/5.

Today I'm writing down every match.

Until now, 14 games, 10 started second and just 4 started as first player.

Even a rematch with the same opponent (paul6): I started second both of the games!

What can I do?

It is great that you're recording, keep doing that for a bit and see if it continues like that or if it evens out.

Was this an independent game that just happened to be against the same player, or was this table the result of the "propose a rematch" button?

Not a rematch, just a consequent game against the same player
