Sync and redraw issues.

Most frustrating is when it's my turn and I can't click despite being able to type in chat and seeing my timer go down. After reloading, the turn color (highlighted) is sometimes stuck on that same color despite other players taking turn.
Another sync issue is that the score that shows next to your flag doesn't always refresh often. So even if you're temporarily 2nd (-4) after suiciding, it'll show the score that you'd get when you started the turn at 4th place (-6). The temporary fix to all of this is to refresh often, and preferably 1 or 2 players away from your turn. But I doubt the site likes getting hammered with refreshes. |

at 3:38 AM, Monday September 3, 2007 EDT This "sync" issue you're describing is also known as "lag". It's been around since the start.
The flag score thing I've noticed, but I think it's just not updated instantly, I'm guessing it's a costly calculation so it's only done every few seconds to keep from bogging things down. Just a guess on that one though. I don't consider it a big deal. |

The second issue you describe is not a bug, but a misperception of how flagging works. You cannot be in 4th, make a suicide attack, and then flag for 2nd (unless you physically kill other players or they flag before you). Flagging is *always* for last place among the still-alive players, no matter how many lands you have. |
