Hello,

I don't know how much work this would take, but in the BGA online implementation of Terra Mystica I've seen this working and it reduces manual actions for players between turns: one can simply set "automatically accept power charge as long as it costs no more than X points", or "automatically deny all". Reducing manual actions could also benefit the dropping out ratio, idk.
Of course, it could automatically benefit the most Taklons' brainstone charges (easy, I suppose), and Itar players could want to ignore this altogether, but nonetheless I still think this could help.
As always, thanks for consideration and all the work you all are putting into this.

@ariallito I'm in :)

I think these timings are fine. The problem is people joining and then not playing.

Thus, I'd ask for the opportunity to block other players from joining one's games.
Harsh and unfriendly as it may seem, a player recently joined two of my games and dropped out of both of them by inactivity, thus ruining the games for all those involved. This is frustrating, and I'd like to have to opportunity to say "I see you can't play these days, no problem pal, but I'd rather not having you at my table".

Hey, this just to inform you all that me and a friend (Molfo on BGS) have started a podcast about GP - where we cite BGS quite a lot, tbh.

You can find the first episode here: https://paiagroject.podbean.com/

Have fun, and tell us what you think!

Hi, a found a (very minor) issue: the new boosters are listed in the bottom box as "booster-ship1" (or "2" and "3"), but in the grey buttons for choosing they are listed as "booster11" (or "12" and "13"), thus making them slightly more difficult to choose.

They can be picked anyway by directly tapping on them (the issue was found on mobile, Android and using Ecosia as a browser), but listing them in the same way could be a slight improvement.

Thanks for the work put into the implementation.

+1 for keeping stats (an ELO system would be fantastic, but it looks like several steps further)... and for reporting the dropping problem.

You know, boasting with my friends when I win isn't the same when one or more players dropped out :grin: .

@TheK6 you can join games with me or the other participants in this thread, we're all constant players ;)

@Molfo said in Stats on factions:

Ariallito's point is also worth considering (to an extent: I think there's no denying that lantids and gleens really are in need of some help).

You folks just need to figure out how to properly dolphin :P

@lucasrrr the button is among the "free actions", once you build the Nevlas PI 🙂

@zuli Great and best wishes! I’ll address the elephant in the room: is it okay with DIGIDICED?

Ehi,

VARITHIO is a friend of mine, and since you named him, I'd like to vouch for him, because he unfortunately can't speak English well and asked me to do so. I don't want to start a flame where I am just the messenger, of course :) , but when one makes names, I think replies are in order.

This message sounds really curious to me, because VARITHIO complains about people dropping all the time - listening to his vocals where he swears at people abandoning games is tons of fun :joy: (unfortunately these gems are Italian-only, that's a shame).

Talking about facts, everyone can check his record of games, he has dozens of (well) completed games here on Gaiaform and in general he is a very active player. You can also find a single game where he dropped after choosing factions - the one where you were involved. That is something which unfortunately can happen, we all have lives which can prevent us from playing as much as we wanted. Oh, and another one, where the players participating were all friends in real life (they're part of our common group) and agreed to drop the game to open another one, to add one more player who had been left out. That's it.

Again, I don't want to start a debate around a person who can't technically vouch on his own, and I agree that the issue exists in general (I already reported it), but I think that this time you just called out the wrong one. I know it's frustrating to have one game where one or more players drop, it happened to me SEVERAL times, but I never called names because I couldn't know why this happened (who am I fooling? They obviously were terrified by my skills :grin: :grin: :grin: ).

See you around, have fun!

Was it a "Custom location" fed?
Were you able to finalise it?

Because no, it's not legal :)

Agreed, great updates, thanks to you and Spock for all the work and... thanks a lot for the permalink to Paia Groject 🥰

@pedroskivich Just set a karma limit, so they can't join your games
