I've only been here a few days and the new features make me quite happy.

Awesome.

Excellent update Lack, I didn't even know it was coming. That's pretty impressive that Twill didn't either though.

so far as I can tell, Fog of War has some unintended results... in game 1076859 one player started the game with 32 territories (including 2 continents), while everybody else started with between 3 and 11. And how is it that some territories started with 0 armies?

And why can't I see the territories next to me? i thought this was the idea.

Explanation? Help? is it a BOB problem?

Twill · Post by **Twill** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:47 pm

I knew everything except fog of war I think - but when you see it all listed, it's a big list, especially when you add in the stuff he's done behind the scenes that don't get added to the list

And to the person who said they didn't understand Fog of War: You can only see armies which you can attack or can attack you. Everything else is hidden so you don't know who is where or who is the most powerful

alright, you can disregard my previous post - Greasemonkey goes bonkers with Fog games.

Now, I wonder which color I am...

Fog of War Assassin games! I cannot wait!

I hate to sound sycophantic, but you're a genius, Lack!

It works.

One issue with this. If someone takes a territory from me that was by itself, in the game log, it says that PlayerX attacked ? from ? and conquered it from JerenYun. But wouldn't I be able to know what I lost?

i agree that u should at least be able to know what he attacked u with and how much u lost considering u owned it.

and the bold works for me again.

The new formatting is kinda clunky, but I guess a necessary evil to add Fog of War info to it...

Enigma · Post by **Enigma** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 1:03 am

another very nice update- the "jump to next game" link is especially nice. as is having the time left listed in the My Games page. thank you lack! this site just keeps improving.

Please explain, Sully ...

Right, sorry for being vague before. This is what my screen looks like:

As you can see, a lot of the info has been compressed onto 2 lines instead of staying within the columns of the table. Adding fog of war and time remaining as columns compressed everything too much I guess.

Thanx for another great update Lack!

Why are your Labels blue sully? Maybe its a plugin causing the problem.

Good thought. That was the Game Listing Sorter I had on, an old Grease Monkey script that I rarely used.

So without it, Game Type and Play order are supposed to be on top of each other in the same column. That makes more sense now (since there isn't enough space for each category to have its own column).

does anyone else find it funny that people are playing 1v1 games with fog of war? I think it is funny.

Cant wait to try a game out. All I need is a 'vote for winner' now button where everyone in the game can vote for me and save me and them the trouble of waiting for me to eliminate them all.

Let me know when that button is ready lack

Great improvements BTW. Awesome job!
