Re: Win condition - Draw
I can't speak to wherever you're reading that, but here, a Draw must be agreed by all living players and ends the game. If it's Draw-Size Scoring, all living players win the same amount of credits, regardless of whether they have 1 SC or 20. If it's Sum-of-Squares Scoring, your take depends on how m...

Re: 20 Questions - Game 17
I feel compelled to note that Gone With the Wind was produced in 1939 - making it 83 years old, and while I'm aware of the movie, I've never actually seen it, and I'm middle-aged with well-rounded interests :) I'm not objecting to the actress being used in 20Q - it seems valid - but it doesn't seem ...

Re: Schadenfreude
Stocks were vastly overvalued due to all the liquidity pumped into the system...so I am not too worried about their fall (so far). At least in its current form, I argue that crypto is a big scam or as Bill Gates said it is "100% based on greater fool theory"...I really want to see all this BS go to...

Re: Suggestion for a possible site improvement
The problem is that it will make it harder to fill games. You have 3 of 7 players. Someone looks to join, but they're on someone's block list. So they can't join. Eventually a fourth joins. Now there are four block lists for the remaining players to clear. If you get one player who has a bunch of pe...

Re: Suggestion for a possible site improvement
If a person is blocked because they're toxic, they should get banned for being that toxic. If you're blocking people because they backstabbed you, then you're going to wind up playing solo. The system described here I think would kill this site entirely - good luck getting enough people together tha...

Re: Revenge vs Draw
The problem here is that there are loads of players here playing loads of games, so the odds of anyone heeding your sacrificial lesson is low While I agree with your general point, I would like to note that you've missed the impact of nebulous cooperation and sentiment. If it's a common enough resp...

Re: User relationship management
It's clearly and obviously a feature in progress that was accidentally added to production. Chill out, it'll get fixed soon.

Re: User relationship management
This sort of problem is always quite difficult to strike a balance with, and the above approach seems quite reasonable to me. About the only concerns I have revolve around dealing with bad actors. If someone is cheating and their multi-account gets flagged with STRONG, and they respond by creating a...

Re: User relationship management
I don't think that you can't play them, more that other players should be afforded the knowledge that there's an a-priori relationship that may influence the game.
I personally love anonymous games for this reason - provided people respect them and don't communicate outside of the game.

Re: Revenge vs Draw
I'm also new here, but if someone goes all-in against me and exposes their rear which allows someone else to get strong enough to solo on their own, I will commit myself to ensuring that the person who went all-in against me loses. That needs to be part of the calculation, really - whether you fuck ...

I would like to join, but I'm down to 3 coins until one of my games completes.
