New Anonymous Game

[Drogo]

Three are signed up with 10 kingdoms chosen. When I try to join, it only lets me pick from like 6 kingdoms and then just lets me choose only one. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

You need to hold down the Shift key while pressing the browser refresh button on the Game Queue page. Then you'll be ok. Depending upon certain things, you may have to clear your browser cache (under browser settings). If you are using a tablet, you'll have to clear the browser cache (follow the instructions at the end of this posting: http://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/showt...9#pid32189).

On the Game Queue, when you click on the Join button, you should see something like the attachment to this post. If not then you don't have the latest code version and you will need to clear the browser cache.

I cleared cache, refreshed with shift but still do not see the updated version...

What do you guys think about going direct to the game creator for Duels and Primeval, but doing our accustomed posting here on the forum to get the other game formats started, and when we have our 10 or 12 players posting here, or 4 for Warlords then the thread starter coordinates the game being created on the game creating utility?

As I've said several times, I don't want players waiting in queues and without posting on the forum (as with the 3 or 4 anonymous games currently proposed), we can't tell who is signing up and who isn't.  I'm losing contact with the community.  Additionally, our last five new players to sign up have had failure to launch at this point, whereas if there was forum discussion, and their questions answered, I think they'd start playing.  Most of them paid for the first month but still haven't joined a game.

I'd like to have the posting on the forum, agreeing on one or two games to form, I don't think we need new formats, we already have a dozen or so.  

We want communication, games to form quickly, and new players to draw upon experienced players here on the forum to get them up to speed.  So my suggestion again is to agree here on the forum on the next game type (not necessary for Duels but can still propose a Duel), and when we get the game filled on the forum, the game gets created on the game creator.

Your thoughts?

Agree entirely. So many variations of game that require talking to get a consensus on what people want. I love the tool but it should support not replace game creation.

[IMPERIAL_TARK]

Works for me!

[RELLGAR]

I agree

Would this proposed designation of all game formats except for Duel and Primeval to be completed specifically in the forum apply to the games currently in progress and queued?

That would be up to the players signed up for the games currently queuing.  There is the option to withdraw from a game in the game creator queue if it is stalling out and we start discussion here on the next one to form.  Generally, we've done sort of a rotation of formats, such as between Full-On (diplomacy), Anonymous, Silent, Alliance and Primeval either with or without mentor-in-the-middle and for new players or veterans and sometimes games focused on magic kingdoms or without mage kingdoms. 

Given what we are currently seeing on the game creator, it looks like the standard Steel Anonymous might be the best choice to get re-established, just a suggestion.  So if you guys agree, I'd say start posting here if you are in the next Steel (solo) Anonymous (no diplomacy) or not.  Then when we have 12 ready to join, the thread starter or other "captain" creates the game, or requests all players to identify their kingdom selections at that time and identify whoever is to get the Chivalry bonus.

So in that event, I'd ask the 6 players signed up for anonymous to post here, we can still do the random order thing for selection when the game fills as that was how it was set up.

I am signed up for the above anonymous game that is now queued.  Will be my 2nd non-duel game.   I have plenty of lessons to apply

I started the new Anon Que. I am now signing in here as well. Thanks all

So the point being, let's have someone keep track here on the forum who is signed up so in one place they can see how many and who is signed up for what kind of game.
