Mike Thicke beats yudai214 4-3

Mike Thicke 4 - Biionicle 1

I like the idea in general, though I think the "clock runs continuously" option adds needless complication. Just have a selectable time/player + increment per decision or turn. I'd also add a disconnect bonus to the timer (say 5 minutes total disconnect time per game.)

Of course some games are much more complicated than others. The same is true of chess and Magic, both games that have always employed similar timers.

Yeah, this used to happen to me all the time. Interestingly, now that I play slightly higher level players on average, I almost never get this complaint.

I would like this as well. Or just an option to turn off chat? (Mute both/all players) It should probably indicate that you've done so to opponents.

Just had  a game where I bought the last province with 1 buy, putting me ahead, and game froze. When I refresh the page, it says, "Waiting for MikeThicke". Fortunately my opponent was kind enough to resign. (Note, this is not the same as the game failing to load the end screen--in that case when I refresh it takes me to the login page.)

• The level change indicator (the green or red up/down triangles) is very sparse. Why not have it indicate changes in rank instead (the # column)?
• The previous client had a scrollable leaderboard. I much prefer that to just seeing the top 20. And yes I know I can see that elsewhere, but why not here?

Obviously this will never be a feature of the software---far too many legal issues to ever be worth it. Online poker has been trying to solve the legal problems for over a decade now.

As for side bets, it's a bit tricky because there's no mechanism to avoid scams. If I don't know you personally I'm unlikely to gamble for anything significant because I can't trust that you'll actually pay up if you lose.

The important point is that you can deny any undos you wish, or as Stef said, you can ask why. Personally I only ask for undos if I clicked the wrong card or did something just stupid like forget that I only had one action left. In the situation initially described, I would probably refuse the undo. (Though, I've never before refused an undo and can't recall any undo request that I thought crossed the line.)

Thanks!

I know retrievable game logs are already a to-do item, but perhaps as a stop-gap you could show our recent game history? That is, just show what games I have played and the result. The immediate impetus for this request is that I've had a couple games today end with a disconnect and I'm not sure how the results were recorded. It would be nice to see what happened.

I really miss the ability to see final decklists when the games ends. This was a nice quick way to evaluate and compare strategies without having to review the entire game.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that closing the browser window doesn't resign you. I've thoughtlessly closed the window a couple times, though I did realize and come back.
