New report category: player holds game hostage

Post by Binga-Binga »

Yes there is a timer… but it resets when a player makes any small change. One player effectively held everyone else hostage and kept resetting the timer. There is no report category for that. Moderators please see time stamps on game # 871657517 . Another player finally took a penalty to end the game. It was unfair and frustrating.

Also, an undo to sending a friend request. Accidentally hit it while trying to report player. I definitely don’t want to be their friend.

First, linking directly to the game is always a better idea than just giving us a number and making us figure out how to get to the game. So: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=871657517

Second, for folks who don’t know the game, it may not be clear what is going on or why you think somebody is taking advantage of things.

Third, and conflicting with #2, it’s not allowed to call out other players. You should report them instead or maybe file an actual bug. This is a forum for players, and is not guaranteed to snag the attention of anyone who can take effective action.

If the timer restores for any single action, and the action can be undone, that's a game bug. So first report the bug, and then report it as taking advantage of a known bug.
