Color coding "My Games" list

Postby dacey on Thu Jan 14, 2010 1:10 pm

I don't know if anyone else ever makes stupid mistakes because they didn't realize they were playing a different type of game than their typical choice, but if they do, then this will help eliminate those mistakes. Or if you just have particular games you want to pay special attention to, this would also help.

Concise description:
  • Make it so that players can color code the games on their My Games page, or even inside the games.

Specifics:
  • There could be a check box next to the game (so you could select multiple games to color at the same time), and then a color box that you can choose from to make the background of those appear a particular color.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • I typically play one type of game on multiple maps. When I occasionally decide to play other types, I frequently forget that they are a different type (for example, when I tried nukes for the first time) and make huge mistakes because of that (like selecting all cards of places that I own on a nuke game...). By being able to make the background of those games a different color, it would help me to not make mistakes.
  • By allowing the player to select the color that they want for the background, it would prevent the need to create colors for every different type of game (if someone plays that many different types, they likely read what one they are using anyway...).
  • This wouldn't really help if you (like most people) use the jump to next game button, so if there was some way to include your color coding scheme inside the game (perhaps as the background behind player's names?), that would be even better.

This is an interesting idea which could be folded into lackattack's planned revamp of the site. However, if you are a Firefox/Greasemonkey user, you might get faster action from a scriptwright. The maintainers of BOB might be talked into adding such a feature. In fact, it might be nice if more than the background colour could be selected: perhaps a pattern or wallpaper could be done. Nothing like a lot of little mushroom clouds to remind you that you are playing nuclear spoils. ;)

That's an excellent point. I will make it a suggestion in the Bob section, but really, don't we want the site to just have all the Bob features anyway? Or is that just me? I hate it when I go on vacation and have to go without Bob; it's a completely different experience. So, hopefully it will arrive as something naturally occurring on the site, but until then maybe the Bob writers can make it happen sooner.
Thanks for the suggestion!
