Concise description:If a game was setup with FOG and is started is there a way to lift the fog for other players so we could watch? This may let a mate give a player tips i guess. But it would be cool to watch a game going on in a speed to learn what others do. Just a thought.

there is a problem with this though. If a player eliminated was able to see the board, they could then tell their friends or whoever ask them what the other person has and doesn't have. There is no way to fix this problem as 1)You can post in game chat 2)If you couldn't post in game chat pm would work fine as well as the wall. So no this won't work, I think it would be nice, but it would be abused.

I agree with the multi. It would be abused, just like how they let people buy-in to a new account whenever they feel like it.

True, anything that can be abused usually will be.

How about another "game option" where the FOG LIFTS for one turn
every 5th round or so? Maybe that number could even be an option.
