Re: Version 3 - Ranking Updates
Lose the rankings - it just puts new players off if they perceive there's no chance ever of getting to the top. It will also stop the petulance and stupidity associated with the fragile egos in the game. It was a much better game before the league tables were brought in Aidan as we can well remember...

Re: Cheaters /ip tracing etc - Possible solution
"Since the discovery of aristo's 25+ different names and accounts used here only to ruin games of others' players and making a mess, a process of IPs tracing was widely used to trace such cheaters and abusers." This was real and demonstrable - not a conspiracy theory and that is why Aidan is quite r...

Re: Cheaters /ip tracing etc - Possible solution
So will the machine code always display the same code if it corresponds to the same IP or does it change with each login? And presumably if 2 players are using one IP the machine code will display the same? Some players use VPN (this can change regularly if its setup in that way) there fore the IP w...

Re: Version 3 - Query to Everyone - Ending Network Games
Just a final point Aidan - if a player asks to leave and the others agree it has no impact whatsoever on those remaining does it? And if thats correct the only possible reason to refuse is to punish the person who asks to leave! There are some players who will never agree - I can think of several wh...

Re: Version 3 - Query to Everyone - Ending Network Games
I agree entirely with JB but I'd reduce those agreeing from 3 to 2. There are occasional urgent events and if a person asks to leave the request should be treated with generosity.
Good luck with it Aidan. Regards Ice

Re: Version 3 - Query to Everyone - Ending Network Games
I've posted about this several times because some players won't let others leave. From November 2017.... Re: Its Only a Game.......

Re: lighthouse targeting
LOL - he doesn't target anyone - he isn't good enough to be able to do that - he just slings the points cards anywhere. On a wider note, there are now so many that won't play with each other its become ridiculous - 10 or more in the lobby and you still can't start a game. The new version will go som...

Re: Version 3 - Suggestions
Its time to lose the medals - even the worst players now have 5 gold and a silver/bronze so they convey nothing. They certainly don't represent skill levels, only reflecting that the player turned up a lot. A better idea might be to show the % of wins and/or options to describe how the player rates ...

Re: Banned for quitting?!
I believe they chat less now than in the early days - it was much friendlier then with a focus on skill and great team play. It all changed with the increasingly competative scoring. The chat often increases now when someone dumps the QS on a player that isn't high. That player complains and we get ...

Re: Frozen games
Aidan - the game freezes when I use "sleep". It responds to the button and reduces to an icon in the sidebar but then it doesn't wake up. The only solution is to force it to quit and then restart it. If this is a common glitch it might explain why there are so many dead men in the lobby? Regards Ice

Re: Frozen games
I very much doubt that this will be fixed as its more likely to be a problem with players using various operating systems than the app itself. Connectivity and variable net reliability around the world are all factors. The increased use of VPN's and extreme weather events are all contributing to the...

The game is good Aidan. Its the best version around and its part of a very entertaining platform.

Re: Version 3 - Suggestions
I don't think its necessary to have little arrows indication the last pass direction! Remembering who you passed to, and what you passed, are very basic aspects of the game. I also think its essential that all players can see the same information on screen as each other - especially whats being post...

Re: Version 3 Suggestions
The issue of identity (in the case of machine based gaming) is the continuation of a name and reputation. This is based on the desire to build a high score and maintain that name over a (long) period of time. The longer the period of time, the more the imperative to keep playing and maintain that na...

Re: Version 3 Suggestions
Regarding interactive avatars! It fear will add to connection problems and add nothing to the game. Players asked for avatars so they could, “put a face to name” - it clearly didn't work and I don't see the logic of your solution now. I am very pleased to see the current scoring system abandoned – i...

Re: Version 3 Suggestions
Quality v frequency. The difficulty arises with the definition of “quality” which in a competitive card game will mean the number of wins. There is no completely “fair” way to do this and all solutions will have drawbacks. However, one way might be for each player to use the same number of games and...
