Glitches ruin the game.

I was in a game where I had a dominant position only to to be blocked out for 5 mins, come back and find that 1 or 2 players didn't lag out and now were in control.
I refreshed the screen at least 20 times over those 5 mins and the board would not show, although I could still hear the sounds going on. One other players in the game reported the same events. Took me about 5 good games to build up my points to nearly 2000, only to have them taken away by a glitch. Truly unfair those those who suffered from the glitch. What can be done? |

at 3:59 PM, Monday December 18, 2006 EST From the log:
Game starts... then: empath's turn bobdole's turn Supersinned's turn monika's turn st3's turn Davil's turn hurzel's turn empath's turn bobdole's turn Supersinned's turn monika's turn st3's turn Davil's turn hurzel's turn empath's turn bobdole's turn [some more of this... one move is played] then... just like that: hurzel surrenders and finishes 7th. Rating -106 to 1821 hurzel stands up Supersinned surrenders and finishes 6th. Rating -85 to 1876 Supersinned stands up st3 surrenders and finishes 5th. Rating -23 to 1844 st3 stands up bobdole surrenders and finishes 4th. Rating +11 to 1868 bobdole stands up monika surrenders and finishes 3rd. Rating +50 to 1883 monika stands up Davil surrenders and finishes 2nd. Rating +46 to 1995 Davil stands up empath finishes 1st. Rating +107 to 1964 empath stands up st3 sits in hurzel sits in Davil sits in st3 sits in .... none of us could do a move cause of the lag... and no one ever wanted to surrender.. some got bruised ... others got points... if something like that happens i hope it will be possible in the future that such points are not given,,, that is when all flags are up because of "sit out" |

at 9:44 AM, Tuesday December 19, 2006 EST First of all thanks for a great game. Love the strategy and a rating system makes it even more interesting. But it seems the scoring has a MAJOR glitch as it sometimes awards negative points when you should gain. I have won two consecutive games which should have netted me about 50 points each (and the results did indeed say so at the end of the game). Instead my actual rating goes down by about the same number of points?? It might be the exact same number only negative but I'm not sure. Before, this happened maybe one time in ten or one in twenty, but now it's been three times in an hour or two. If I keep winning I'll be back at 1500 in no time...

at 3:56 PM, Tuesday December 19, 2006 EST Kdice is a fantastic game. Tha gameplay is terrific and its simplicity only enhances the gameplay.
However, the lag is a serious issue because there is nothing more frustrating than being in a great position, you click on your trritory and then the other guy's territory.. and then nothing happens and it puts you on away after a few seconds. I don't know if it's even possible to fix this problem but it is a serious one. |
