Board Game Arena

I think it's a bit spoilery that the e-mail notice at the end of a turn-based game mentions the winner in the subject line. I like to go see the end of the game for myself, and when the e-mail arrives I get a notification like: "Carcassonne Table #1234 End of Game Bobbyguy wins!" and it's like telling me the score of a footy game before I get the chance to watch the last few minutes on my own.

It's especially silly when I am the last player to make a move, so I'm currently watching the end-game get tallied up, with excitement as the scores go up and down (this is especially a thing in close carcassonne games) and the e-mail arrives with the winner's name before the on-screen game is even finished adding all the points up. ;D

Am I silly for thinking this at all? am I alone in this weird foible?

I don't think you're silly. I wasn't aware of it because I pay no attention to email notifications. But I get where you are coming from, not wanting it spoiled before you've seen the game end for yourself.
