Board Game Arena

See title.

One of the biggest bugs on Dice Forge is the "Choose Resource" bug (see here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=35664) which generates from the Twins card (spend 3 gold to reroll, then take moon/vp).

In real time games, this can be avoided by simply abandoning, but in turn based Arena games, it could be hours or a day before the other person responds, or if they are malicious, they can just cause you to lose a number of other games by stalling and not clicking quit. The issue is that due to BGA's weird arena rules, this locks you out of multiple other games until you make a move, which is impossible.

Until the bug is fixed, which from the report doesn't look like is going to happen soon, having the twins in arena has a chance of soft locking you out of multiple games and is a bad experience all around.

I don't get why simultaneous actions aren't allowed playing Dice Forge.

I'm not saying this should be mandatory, but if a player wants to do something before the other player does a thing I think this would just make the games shorter and more fun

I agree with these remarks.
In addition, the twins have other bugs with the guard's shields... so it would be a good idea to do something about that

The only reason this wouldn't be allowed is because it would cause conflict with cards like The Minotaur. Subtracting resources from the other player might be more or less viable depending on what they currently have. Not being able to see what they pick before you choose your actions could effect your decisions.

I got stuck with this too, and I will never play this game again! I am not playing in arena and I asked to abandon and somebody said no. I explained in personal messages and in the main group message and somebody still said no. I have had to try and try and I’ve wasted more than an hour of my lifetime. Trying to get out of this game. Begging people to please let me out. I should’ve just taken the hit. I’ve never been in a game like this where it’s broken and somebody won’t let me out. It’s been beyond frustrating. Trying to convince them that this is real. I sent a link to the bug report and even a link now to this thread. It’s very frustrating.

of the programmers hasn’t been online for three months. The other one was online recently. I messaged to ask if this was going to be fixed because it’s been since 2021

In this case, let's do it for all the situations except the ones where it's important to wait for the opponent... That shouldn't be a big problem for the programmers
