Player Color - Switch Orange with Cyan

[maniacmath17]

I've noticed that player #5 is always a cyan/turquoise type color. I've always found it easier to refer to people by their color for that particular game. I'll say something like "hey blue, I believe it would be convenient for both of us if we moved our brazil/n. africa troops elsewhere."

I can't seem to do that with player #5, because they may not know their colors well enough to know that im talking to them when i refer to them as "cyan". Maybe change player #5 to orange or something?

Now I'm not sure how many people agree with me on this but I figured I'd throw it out there. Thank you for your time.

i usually refer to that certain color as light blue. most people know what that means

[areyouincahoots]

I call it teal...lol

[maniacmath17]

Well I try to stay away from using the word blue as part of the color since there is already a blue, and as for teal, I didn't even know what kinda color that was till now. lol. Just figured there could be a simpler color out there that is more easily identified.

By the way, I can only think of one name for orange

[wacicha]

i call that color teal

[maniacmath17]

Well I suppose if teal is what that color is commonly refered to, then i could try it. But I'd still prefer orange (plus its my favorite color )

yeah but with red, pink and orange all on the board... it could get kinda tricky to tell them apart

[maniacmath17]

Couldn't be that hard to tell. Maybe something like the orange that is on brazil at the CC main page (if you like visuals)

this girl i know insisted that certain color is magenta. i said "wtf are you talking about? it's cyan." she said "well i have a $100,000 art school degree, i should know. it's magenta". even the two other people i was with sided with her. i just shrugged, said "ok whatever" and told them to google cyan so they could feel like dumbasses the next day.

anyways.. i think it's different enough from blue. orange would be too close to red and yellow. if you switched cyan to orange i bet someone would start complaining "why are there two red color teams. it's really confusing."

[strike wolf]

Isn't magenta a pinkish color?

Oh and just go by their name's

2006-07-11 11:08:28 - mattywuh: yeah... thinking so.
2006-07-11 15:03:03 - Charbroil: eh, I fail to see how
2006-07-11 15:15:42 - JohnCates: we will see ... lol, we wasted alot of armies on each other
2006-07-11 18:08:49 - mattywuh: oh - ok thought you meant me!!!

It would probably make more sense if you saw the colors, its from game 41277.

Anyways, I think this one misunderstanding is enough to warrant a change in the color scheme.

[wicked]

you can always use their names too if the colors are too confusing for ya.

I had a problem with one of the maps, i tried to attack alaska to north africa and it didnt work. I think this one problem is enough to warrant a fix, can i get an arrow edited in there please?

[maniacmath17]

ofcourse i could use their names, but that would require looking at the board to identify the color of the person i wish to contact, then looking at the list of players and finding the player name that matches that color, then figuring out an appropriate abbreviation for that players name.

Thats a lotta work for me

[maniacmath17]

lol AK, you cant attack from alaska to north africa
