Re: no play penalty

But this is clearly not happening? See Renato's previous post from last week. For what its worth a fairer system would be monthly. No play = lose 10 for example. Should also apply in Cribbage. Best. Iceman

Re: system changes

Aidan I must endorse Deans point - there is something wrong with the distribution of cards in both Hearts and Cribbage. There's just too much discrepancy between the scores and its consistent. Its great when you can't lose and very frustrating when you can't win but players I think joined for the sk...

Re: contract whist

I'd be interested - I do play Bridge as well. Best. Iceman

Distribution of cards

Aidan I think there may be a problem with the distribution of cards in Hearts. I've been in many games now where one player is way ahead of everyone else - it has also happened to me on a number of occasions. Consistently getting hands where no cards are under 6 or 7. The converse is also true - whe...

Re: A No Player list. Good for everyone. Even the quitters .

I like the thinking but I suspect its too complicated to administer? The other problem is the amount of players in the pool at any one time. Sometimes you can wait for ages and you do have to play with players who you'd prefer not have a game with for a variety of reasons.

Re: 2.6 - Rankings or No Rankings?

I've noticed now that some players are quitting by simply not playing a card - they just sit there silently until one of the others end it. Might need to have some kind of timing out linked to whose turn it is to play? Or the % of games finished might work over time as someone suggested earlier? It ...

Re: 2.6 - Rankings or No Rankings?

Good afternoon. I too have only ever played the game for money until I started to play online. I certainly wouldn't be interested in playing online for money and I think it would prevent many players from taking part - particularly young people.

Re: 2.6 - Rankings or No Rankings?

Good morning all. Thanks for asking the players Aidan. There are some really good points being made by trusted friends. I do agree strongly with Walt's point about it needing to be more subtle. I do like an element of competition and the 1- 4 idea might work. There's no way you should be at the top ...

2.6 - Rankings or No Rankings?

Aidan anything that stops the quitters is to be welcomed but can you give us some idea when 2.6 will be available please? I've also seen the thread about general "grumpiness". There's no doubt the team element of the game to get the lowest player appears to have gone and the play has become very sel...
