@coyotte508 Does it take a consensus to put the "All Games/New Games" buttons at the top instead of at the bottom? Thx I guess we will see Well I know lots of people complain about not being able to differentiate between the text action buttons and thus make mistakes by clicking the wrong thing. Perhaps a poll to see if people would prefer graphics or text?

This is also addressed in the official federations FAQ, linked in the rules: only satellites used count towards the 25 limit.

I'm in complete agreement here. It might lead to dropped games, but honestly dropped games happen anyway. I think I've only completed two games where at least one player hasn't dropped, and one of those was a two-player game. And honestly, it might prevent dropped games. People drop games when someone else is taking a really long time and then they forget about it or lose interest. If it gave us the option for 5 minute (or even 3 minute?) turns, it would deter people from joining who don't want to play until the end, thus making it easier to complete a game without a drop. I'm curious to know what percentage of 3+ player games are played to completion without any drops.

@Babbuc49 It would just be nice to have a group where you dont have to always check karma or keep a list of ppl who say they will play fast and then dont but you might be right that maybe there just arent enough of ppl who love speed Gaia.

BIG THANKS for the data compilation @Spooky !!! that are some very interesting insights!

Should be fixed.

To be entirely fair there are actually situations of which you'd want more buildings in your federation than necessary which is the 'Buildings in federations' final scoring... But given how situational that is i'd say rather assist players in making an optimal federation instead. Personally i don't see any issues with the satelites FS. For me it only offers another level of planning since you want your last federation to be as 'long' as possible, which forces you to focus more on getting additional power tokens and even expanding further away. These just adds to the variability of the game since you now need to approach the game another way to score optimally.

@Robert-Shepherd said in Bidding Clarification Text: "Pick the race you want and bid any amount (bidding 0 is allowed)" "If someone bids higher than you, you will be allowed to overbid them" "If you choose not to overbid them you are allowed to bid on another race" Do you think that a tooltip on the bid buttons can help?

By the way, the "Your turn" was added in the sidebar :) With the favicon changing, it should be enough for now. Sound notifications don't work anymore for the most part because recent browsers block them (because of malicious ads...). Push notifications are an option worth investigating.

The online indicators and a karma system were added. Elo is coming in the future. Let's hope this helps :)
