Player number and options deadlock - a fix
Posted: 08 July 2020, 16:41
If you're creating a table (before any players have joined) and have it set to (say) 4 players and a 4 player option because that is what you had last time,
and try and change to 3 players, you get an error that you can't do that because the option needs 4 players.
Okay, so you try to change to a 3-player option… and you get an error that you can't do that because you have too many players!
You have to choose an option that doesn't care about player numbers, then change the player count, then choose the option you actually want.
This is silly. I understand it, but it is silly and frustrating.
How about this: If you choose an option and your min or max number of players is wrong for it, then the table should automatically change the min or max number of players to suit if it can do so without kicking anyone off the table. If it can't, show the error as usual.
