In Game Status Indicator - End Attack Confirmation - Login

[Jota]

None of these suggestions are that significant, but they're all little things that could make the game more convenient for some players:

1. It'd be nice if the status icons that appear on the "My Games" page next to the players' names also appeared on the actual game pages. That way if you refreshed the map, you could see at a glance how close it was to your turn.

2. So far, I've accidentally hit the [End Attack] button once when I meant to keep attacking, and I know that two of my friends have done the same thing. It might be helpful if there were a checkbox to the right of the button that had to be selected for [End Attack] to work. It'd mean a tiny bit of extra effort to click each time you wanted to end that phase of your turn, but I think the reduced chance of accidentally ending it early would be worth it.

3. It seems to me that logins on this site time out very quickly. It would be a nice feature if there were a way to extend that, maybe with a checkbox on the login screen.

4. A lot of folks use tabbed browsers, and if you've got two games open at once. it's hard to tell them apart in the tab bar. If the game number or the name of the map being used (or both, even) were near the beginning of the page's title, then it'd be more obvious which was which.

i completely agree with the end attack thing.. ive accidently ended an attack multiple times.. and it majorly sucks and can be the difference between winning and losing especially towards the end of the game

i must say that your list is great and pretty do-able. I hope lack does them...if he has the time...

I don't know if he'll implement the first one, just because tr0y's Grease monkey script does this pretty effectively (And with a dynamic clock, too! )

We've been on him to get the second two you mentioned for some time now, maybe this post will finally change his mind. I always thought the end attack button should just be farther away from the others. No second click, just a drastic move of the cursor.

a second click would be more effective, the rest of them don't bother me that much. Adding a my games section to the game page, would slow it up for those of us on 56k though...

I wasn't suggesting adding a list of all the games you're in. I was just asking for the little red-yellow-green icons next to the names of the people who were in that game.

Excellent suggestions.

I would find every one of these to be useful. I personally try to avoid using gm scripts (as mentioned above) so having these actually integrated into the site rather than third-party work-arounds would be preferable.

Thanks, Jota, for outlining these ideas! Hope they come to be...

Another vote for confirmation of End attacks! The checkbox thing sounds like a good idea. The things happened to me, and just happened to another player in a game I'm in. Especially when playing on a small screen, it's easy to misclick.
