at 10:59 PM, Friday July 19, 2013 EDT Looks like there was a bug with the map flipping when a 7 player table started. The timer is off for now until that is fixed.

at 3:42 AM, Saturday July 20, 2013 EDT Timers are great since most of the time we need to wait quite some time to get 7 players around the same table.
With this timer at least we can start as long as we have 5 players around. |

at 4:26 AM, Saturday July 20, 2013 EDT Maybe not a bad idea for those (frustrating) times when esp. 2 and 5 k tables hardly fill..
yet I dare predict this would also lead to a whole number of new issues.. e.g. point funneling on a 2 or 5 k table with 3 players .. besides - how do you intend to distribute points (reduced amount?) and generally outrule that from happening ? 7 players on a table are quite the strongest guarantee for fair play. ( and even there -as we know from experience - things occur) If for example on a table of 2, 3, 4 or even 5 players only 2 players secretly collaborate in a clever way (blunt PGA or even only more smooth and less obvious OTF style, ( or make it just 1 player who additionally uses a proxy) their likelihood and chance to succeed with the cheat is > 50% imho How do you want to outrule / control that ? |

at 5:49 AM, Saturday July 20, 2013 EDT Hey Ryan, there's a glitch where if 6 people sit and one gets up (who isn't brown) the game populates the map for 5 people and doesn't include brown

at 7:40 AM, Saturday July 20, 2013 EDT I like the idea a lot and I think it should stay
The implementation can always be perfected I agree that 3-4 players games and map are weird (they're ok in end-of-tourney scenario but not that much in regular play); also they're easily subject to pga and grinding so IMHO the minimum number of players should be 5 It's nice to cut the wait and 5,6,7 players variations are actually interesting without perturbing the game While you're at it - dunno if it's a good idea - but what about the minimum number of players before countdown could be selectable in some way? And... support for 3v3 team game? ^^ tl;dr: its nice, keep it on |
