Any way to find active games you were eliminated from?

Post by The_T »

This is kind of a general BGA question, but for me it is currently affecting Bang games.

I know I'm dead in a game because it disappeared from my active games list; but I have no easy way of finding it, without knowing the names of any of the players to look up their profile.

There's really no other way to find it and check in on the game before it ends?

Good question.

The same thing was asked about King of Tokyo, but it is something with BGA itself, and not the games themselves.

Difference is with King of Tokyo dead is dead. But in Bang! You could still win with your faction.
Not sure on the rules, but you could still observe and comment in chat, give advice. Can dead people still talk? Obviosuly you can, but should you?
"Hey 'fellow Outlaw with 1 single life point left', see that the Sheriff didn't discard a Bang! when someone played Indians? That means you could safely use a Duel card!"

Talk as dead guy is not really fair in my eyes.

The game promotes talking and there is no rule which prohibits dead players from talking.
Dead players, like a dead outlaw as mentioned or a dead deputy, may earn actual advantage by making some tactical advices.
Dead players do not have hidden information anymore, so no problem in my eyes at least.

You'd want to go into the games in progress for the game in question I guess.
