Manual Ordering needs to be random...

Post by yeti_c »

Concise description: Make Manual Ordering random

Specifics: The current Manual Order of play isn't random - it is based on who "places" first... This can benefit the last person to join the game - as they can lay first.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Reinstate random order of play.
  • Give no advantage to laying first (you can't see the enemy troops so there is no disadvantage)

also freestyle needs to be sorted... someone misses a turn and is still given another 12 hours to take their next before you... its bollokcs

I'm not sure what you mean - Can I suggest you create a "BUG" for this one - as it sounds like a bug - this is more of a suggestion.

(The management like everything to be in distinctive places - and adding it here might muddy the waters!)

clearly this serves no purpose...are you wanting an order of deploying troops? it doesnt matter who deploys manual troops because there is ? all over the board nomatter if you are first or last to deploy....it should stay as it is...gives everybody the same time to deploy and gets it done sooner!

i have to give this a thumbs down

Yeti,

Are you saying that who lays down first in manual gets to go first?
Is this true for sequential and / or freestyle?

Clearly you know f*ck all about what you're on about... read the thread before attempting to think next time.

I see how this could affect freestyle games, but in just the same way most non-manual freestyle games are biased towards the last to join (first to play).

As for sequential, I don't think I understand.
Game 5598531 - first to deploy plays first
Game 5598595 - first to deploy plays second

Weird - the 2 8 player games that I've played with deployment - have both had the same person who laid first play first...

On another note - that second game looks very suspicious - the loser didn't actually bother attacking?!
