Board Game Arena

Player ###### declined to start, like 10 times in a row.

Am I wrong in thinking you can adjust preferences to suit the game modes/settings you're actually willing to play? Would save them and me lots of time if they didn't come to the table unwilling to play the game they joined.

I don't get people joining over and over and over, then declining the start of the game.

There's a lot of reasons for people not wanting to start the game. They don't like your rating (or the rating of someone else). They think it's taking too long. They don't like the settings. They just started a different game, and got erased from yours. And many others. And unless they tell you, you don't really know what the reasons are.

The most current situation is most likely the placement of game logs, which you can't see until you "play".

I am now deciding not to play any more games until progrmmers announce it has been fixed. you can try to select position of game logs, but the table is not created that way
