Many Color Choices for Thumbs Up

Post by Jesdebel »

I utilize the thumbs up system quite a lot in Saboteur. Let’s face it we like playing with people of similar play styles. But, I would like to use it in other games that I enjoy. I never do because when I go back to Sab, I can’t tell if I gave some one a thumbs up for Saboteur or Not Alone (or some other game). I propose many colors of thumbs up. I would like to choose a thumbs up color for Saboteur, let’s say green, and then have a different color for Not Alone, maybe purple. I’m one of those people who color coordinates their notes and uses tabs on all of my work.. so this may be a little “extra” for some. But I feel it can be kept simple by a simple click for green thumb, and a longer hold to choose a color.

This way us color-coding ocd folks can organize their play experience better.

And I do =). This is more for scrolling through the many names that could join the table.. =) in Saboteur or 7Wonders you could be scrolling through 100s.. so this would be a quicker option.

maybe just 2 colours are required?
Global thumb, and game-specific thumb. That way you don't need to remember which colour for which game.

Honestly, I would be happy with more than one thumb, even if it’s just two =)
But, I would use my color-coordination to match specific games.. Cinco makes me think of yellow.. Not Alone is purple.. etc. however, the note option is great here. If you forget your thumb color, just check the notes.

I recognize that many may not be thrilled by it.. but it could be used in many ways.
For example to differentiate “noob ness”.. green for the excellent player yellow for the mediocre. We make notes on this anyway.. I’m looking for a quick.. file, sort, and check system.

I’ve long wanted this feature!! If I’m on a table for Hanabi why is BGA showing me my thumbs from Saboteur? They should show thumbs specific to the game of the table you’re on. Additionally, they can show the names of people you’ve friended in a whole separate color so you can clearly see global friends and game-specific thumbs.

Interesting topic. Considering there are 200+ (probably) games on BGA, it would be hard to pick a color for every single one of them... maybe there can be only 1 thumb (yellow) for the current game you are at so you will be aware its a local thumb for the specific game or you can pick different colors but up to 5 and if you reach that number of local thumbs - they immediately become a red (global) thumb. Otherwise I don't see what would happen if I want to place 20 local thumbs on someone for specific games.

You’re right, there is a flaw in this way. For me, I’d pick my top 3-5 games to color code. (At most 5-10). Right now there is only one color thumb, so being able to identify at least your top five, would be nice.

Unless of course it is easy to program what you suggest :) l
Then,I’m happy either way.
