Round Number in Main Game Page

Postby nesterdude on Mon Dec 31, 2007 10:10 am

I think it would be beneficial to have the Round Number on the main "My Games" page.
You used to be able to determine it when all the games were stationary on that page. Now they move depending on time and when you're up.
Having this is really nothing more than convenience but it allows you to locate the games quickly that are further along. I'm not sure about others, but I like to spend more time planning strategy on the games that are nearing completion - especially escalating games that are past round 8, while games that are in round 1 or 2 don't take as much time to navigate your move. When you're playing 30, 40 or 50 games it's a pain to go through all your games to find the ones that are farther along.
Anyway, just a thought.

Add Round # to Game Description

Postby laci_mae on Mon Jan 28, 2008 3:22 pm

* Suggestion Idea: Display the Round # in the game description that is seen in My Games

* Why it is needed: I'm often sneaking turns in during breaks between classes. Knowing what round each game is in will help me decide which game to tend to during a limited break. Games that are farther along need more concentration. Also, helps to show when the no-shows are going to be ousted.

You could ask yeti_c in the plugin and addons thread in BOB but ask really nicely

Ah you mean on "My Games"?

Can't be done...

It's already in the game display...

Another thing that would be good - would be "Game title/Tournament" in game.

He's just that committed to making CC a success. Or at least I hope that's the reason...

FWIW yeti means that it "can't be done" in BOB - the javascript extension which he is lead author for.

Your suggestion is made fairly frequently I believe ... Here's the last one : http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38763

It'd be interesting to know if this is actually "on Lack's to-do list" ...

We avoid adding things to game listings because of clutter. If you want to propose a low-clutter technique of displaying game information I'm all ears.

Hover over the game link and you get a "Game: ###### ¬ Round: ##"?

Display Round # on Active Games

Postby Russellhj on Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:17 pm

On the "My Games" pages (esp. Active), could you list the Round # of the game? It could probably fit under the Map column, like the other columns that have 2 items.

Just a thought!

Be neat but what does it actually do for you?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it. But I think there are better fixes/enhancements for the coders to be working on.

Add Current Round to My Games Page

Postby aaronb532 on Wed Apr 09, 2008 3:29 am

Concise description:
  • Add Current Round to My Games Page

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Quickly letting people know how long a game has been going on.
  • Make it easier to find a specific game when looking through a large list.

I've attached a screen shot that gives an idea of what I'm talking about:

Image

I did a search and didn't see this suggested anywhere so I apologize if it has already. I know this is my first post and I haven't even paid for a membership yet but this is something I find myself constantly look for.

I don't care about font, color or parentheses. I just chose what I did to make it stand out.

Thanks,
aaronb532

I think this would be useful...

Also - the system knows this detail... as if you goto the RSS page - it shows the Round number...

On another note though - I'm 100% sure this is a duplicate thread though.

to be honest, I like this idea too.

when I look at the list of my current games, I will need to play my round in all of them, but I do scan them for ones farther along because I find them more interesting.

Hi,

I definitely see the value of this feature. In fact, I suggested it in January. Lack voiced an opinion, but there really wasn't a ton of discussion. I like the proposed screenshot.

Best,

Might not do too much. I only have 4 games to keep up with. When I enter the game, I have to check which color I am, how far along is the game, anyone begging to be taken out, etc. I guess I might remember more about the game before entering if the round # is posted.
