I ban them when they get reported several times for the names. Some are coming back again under slighty different names, there are so many variations on just "Hitler", for example, that are easily recognizable for a human but not for an algorithm. Same for "Black Lives matter" variants trying to subvert that slogan.

The truth is that for some people "fun" includes having provocational usernames, be they sexual or political or otherwise. I don't think there is a consensus on where the border is between "still OK" and "to sexual/political". As I said, I ban what is clearly "too much" to me, which of course is highly subjective.

@Flo3H2O: Done!

Done!

That's certainly not what is supposed to happen. OTOH, both game IDs that can be seen in your screenshot cannot be loaded now, which indicates that something went "wrong" in the game. Since continuing with bots depends on the game being able to load, that might be the next "underlying" reason for not being able to continue.

Done!

Done for both jay1309 and mats_007.

Thanks, will be done (though not become public until some bigger changes mandate a new release).

It looks like this when you are joining a table:



I handpicked 3 cards, made 3 more cards come from a specific expansion each, there will be at most one landscape card and I excluded Alchemy (which is not easy to see because it just lists all allowed).

Done!

As far as I understand, no.

It's not like your browser is doing the card shuffling and can be manipulated into always giving you a Moat. All that happens on the server.

Unlike other games that are at least partially based on physical reflexes and work in some version of real time, this game is "slow" and turn based, meaning it doesn't care if you choose what to discard to Milita now or in one hour (your opponent will care, of course). Until you make that decision, the game is stopped and nothing is necessary to "keep it going" for the other player.

Of course, any kind of protocol can have weaknesses, it isn't impossible that sending malformed data to the server will cause something strange to happen. But "rigging the cards you hav in hand" seems very implausible to me.

Thanks for your posting, windowxlee!

If you found errors in the Traditional Chinese translation, please point them out (or a just a few if there are many), so that they can be corrected.

I'll forward your suggestion/offer for a Simplified Chinese translation to the developer.

Again, thanks for you pointing out errors and the suggestion for a Simplified Chinese translation.

You are right about the problem of not being able to control or even see which Mastermind effect you are using at a given time, so being unable to manage when Masterminds finally get discarded from play. The new interface being worked on is using different buttons to denote Mastermind effects coming from different Masterminds (though at the moment fails to show from which actual Mastermind they come, which I hope will be added before release).

For the rules question about the Masterminds staying in play in the scenario you describe, the Menagerie rulebook gives the AFAIK most recent version of the rule about "Throne Room plays Duration" at the bottom of page 2:

Additionally, if a Duration card is played extra times by a card such as Mastermind, that card also stays in play until the Duration card is discarded, to track the fact that the Duration card was played extra times.

So for "Throne Room 1 plays Throne Room 2 plays a Duration card 2 times, then Throne Room 2 plays another card 2 times" scenario, only Throne Room 2 is playing a Duration card "extra times", so Throne Room 1 is discarded this turn.

But Mastermind is both a Duration card and a card that can play other cards multiple times (Throne Room is just the latter).

So in your Mastermind scenario (using turn numbers to refer to the Masterminds played), MM10 plays MM11 3 times, so MM10 stays in play as long as M11. In turn 12, MM11 plays 3 cards 3 times each, including MM12, so again, by the above rule, MM11 stays in play as long as MM12. At tend of turn 12, MM12 is not discarded, as it has stuff to do next turn. MM11 is not discarded, as it played MM12 3 times, which we just determined is not discarded this turn. And finally, MM10 is also not discarded this turn, as is played MM11 3 times, and MM11 is not discarded.

That chain of Masterminds will stay in play until one Mastermind finally plays no Durations cards, or Duration cards that at least don't play other duration cards multiple times.

I hope that explanation helped, if anything was unclear, please ask.

Done!

[making other choices]

The "preview" in the button is just to give you an informed opinion about what cards you can expect to choose from that Crypt for making other choices. As you yourself noted, counting on the position of the Treasures as presented when you finally choose that start of turn effect is ill-advised.

I'm not sure about the login for Firefox, does it sit in the login screen and you can't enter credentials, or does it do nothing once you hit "Login"?

Right clicking on touch devices is done by a "long touch", that means you don't remove your finger from the surface and after some time (I think a few seconds) it will do what right-click does.
