Oh no my gamesheet is broken and showing upside down, what on earth could possibly have happened? 😲

This is game #14698021. It has a time limit of 3 days per turn. If a player fails to make a move in time, that player forfeits the game. The next

Check the "adjust graphics" for all your games. You'll find many surprises. A pity no one has documented all of them in one place.

Didn't know that, useful

There is a precedent. Trax allows you to set it such that it will always display your game with you playing black.

I will think on this.

~~MJ

No, it is not the heart of the problem. The person that accepts the images double checks to make sure that it's not an image that wasn't taken by the poster. They can easily change that box if needed. I just thought that we would change it back to the other way to see if it's easier on them. We've tried it both ways, and I've never really been happy with it lol. Thus the change.

~~Mary Jo

I see that the default has changed from "This picture has been taken by someone else" to "I have taken this picture myself". This may be the heart of the problem.
This is not the first time this default has changed.

Yes they could be better.
I hadn't noticed they face different ways.
I usually choose the orange one. Slightly easier to distinguish

As are the amazon pieces. If the programmer (Mecir?) Hadn't made the pieces face one another I would be unable to play this game. The colours are impossible to tell apart, for me anyway.

Use your W9 to move the 6 and that opens up your B11 to move both of the 3's.

There's no reason that you and your opponent need to see the same colours anyway. You could choose black g white, your opponent blue & red, makes no difference to most games really.
The senet pieces are particularly annoyingly similar

I have a bug on Tabula game #14635768.
I rolled 6-3-3 and can only move the 6.
My path is blocked and I cannot move the two 3's.
But there is no button for me to finish and save my move.
Can someone please look at this for me?
It is part of the Winter Olympics Tournament games.

I've encountered the same problem while playing Imperium and Chivalry.

This is a request, not a bug. The bug is in my eyes

Would it be terribly complicated to permit a player to modify the colour of his pieces at least once after a game starts? I'm talking about games where players choose their colours before the game starts, for example go moku, camelot, xiphias and so on. Not games where the colours are pre-fixed such as chess, checkers, reversi etc.

My problem is that I often find myself playing yellow against white, dark blue against black... I know at least one player who has trouble with red-green.

So maybe allow a colour switch, or maybe prefix the colours in adjust graphics, for example show me=always white, 1st opponent=blue, etc.

I have just approved one called "peaches looking outside". It's showing on the games sheet now.

No recent pics that listed the poster as the one who took the pic, yes.

So just a case of no "recent" photos?

It would appear all our recent photo uploads were not taken by the player. Photos are supposed to be taken by the player who posts them to be on the recent image list. Try uploading a pic you took and see what happens.

A few days.

My gamesheet displays it in a different location but like yours, not today.

One thing is weird: In the settings->Gamesheet there are two checkboxes labelled "Show a random recent album photo". both seem to have no effect.

You're right! it has. I wonder how long it has been like that?

Hi. The photo at the top right hand side of my screen has gone for some reason. I enjoy seeing players photo's. I'm not sure if it is a bug but I haven't altered anything in my preferences. Thanks for reading.

Dolphins77 should have gotten the win in this game but it went to me....Is this the correct board to get the win over to her?

Somehow I never saw the message explaining why they were appearing when I sent a message. Now I know why! Thanks for that info, eliphont551!

I would like the option of picking my own selection of goldies for that collection.

I agree, have the option to have on or off.

But only if you can switch them off - I can't stand any of the moving icons so having these on every game woukd be a nightmare

Would be better to use them in game play.

If you are referring to these they are a feature the programmers have put there for our convenience. While typing, if you would like to say "Good Luck" Just click on the and it will be inserted in your message.

Somehow the whole row of icons appeared on my outgoing messages (see below). Any chance you can remove them all?

I was playing a Muggins game but it ended in a draw.

Is this possible with a game of Muggins? Just curious.

#14587720

Thank you

A very strange problem. I'm wondering if it had something to do with a time out. Anyhow, I ended the game in a draw among the current players.

Everyone playing has the same issue with it. I have tried logging out and back in with my phone instead of my pc, but it is still the same. Can anyone advise us with it please?

The game is: game #14615140.

Thank you

https://www.goldtoken.com/games/play?g=14615140

This game is frozen. When I click for my turn, it says select piece, but the piece is already pre-selected and it won't let me click on it to be able to submit my move.

And so NEUROTIKA ended up winning the tournament despite winning the fewest rounds and having the lowest total score. Seems fair

Game #14526480

We were discussing ending the game as a player has dropped out which makes it unbalanced. On my last turn I offered a draw and I think it has been accepted by B*Elanna. fatdaddy has already finished this round so cannot accept as they don't get a turn. The game is showing that it is my turn buy I am unable to do anything.

LOL. No problem. It has happened to me.

Oh My Gosh! Where's my coffee! Thanks for the quick reply!

I believe it is because the person covered the center space.

In this game our score is close. There's no time limit on completing the game. Nobody resigned. The game is 3 day move, my opponent moved yesterday, so I didn't time out. Why did I loose this game?

#14612044

rabbitoid, I only made two plays so far in my Mexican train (fast) game and zooming in on the tile did move it, thanks! 😁

It wasn't a tie, francescolr scored 5 pts.
I guess you get 1 pt for coming 2nd

They won one game each getting 3 points for the win
francescolr got second place in two games, 1 point for each making 5 points total
bestgremlin gets a point for one second place making 4 points
KG_2020 gets 3 points for the win but no more points for two 3rd place games

See this chart for scoring help

francescolr and bestgremlin have exactly the same final record (2/3/0).

Why is only francescolr recognized on the page as the winner?

And, given that Round 2 was a 3-way tie,
shouldn't all three players been listed as joint winners?

There is an old unsolved bug concerning Mexican train and phone. You click on a tile and the tile jumps a little, but the click isn't taken. For me the following works: zoom real close on the tile you want to move, then click. Try it, but no guarantee we have the same problem.

Phone

Are you on a phone? computer?

Now the tiles won't move at all for me to place on the board?

Could you look at my Mexican Train (Fast) game with Clivia. Game#14618675. I have to click multiple times on each tile for it to place on the board,sometimes 8-10 times, then just clicking on it once. And that is with all Mexican Train games I play, then I stay away from mostly playing them. It makes it hard to play any of those games and don't know if you could figure out the solution to why it's happening please?

In The 2024 Winter Olympics gravyrun Memorial Club , gpr11 appears twice. Weird I have never seen a member listed twice in a club. How could this happen?
In the "membership" page he is also listed twice (on the same day) as joined.
His profile shows him as member of the club, once.
This should not have any effect on the Olympics. It's just odd.

And it is what I thought-the placement was decided only by the final round,as in the 4 rounds of this game my penalty points were 273,while NEUROTIKA's were 561. So however you slice it I finished 2nd in this game

okay that is what I thought. Thank you.

It does raise again the initial question, on a 500pt game why are the positions determined by the cards held at the end rather than the accumulated scores?

Because you reached the 60 day time limit

Because your overall time clock reached it 60 day limit

#14514415

Thank you Mecir - think this will help

Added the penalty points display to finished games.

I've raised this before many months ago. Team Salvo gives a gold token to the winning team and a silver token to the losing team. It should be a wooden token to the losing team.

This seems more applicable to an individual game rather than a race to a particular number,which involves multiple games. I'm guessing only the deciding game was included,not all 3 games, as my winning a game would almost certainly preclude me from having more negative points than NEUROTIKA. Whatever it still makes more sense for placement to be decided by a visible score rather than an invisible one

but as I said, hard to tell if it doesn't show what tiles remained.

Hi there! Upon review, the placement appears to be correct.

To quote from the rules: Placement of the remaining players is decided by the value of tiles left in their hands - each numbered card incurs as many penalty points as its number is, while Jokers incur 30 penalty points.

That is to say, the points only matter for the winner - everyone else's placement is determined based on what tiles they have left, not how many points they have scored.

I think the issue may be the final score doesn't show penalty points for cards in your hand at the end of the round. As it doesn't show what tiles were left it's hard to tell final positions

I believe Jools is correct, but have sent Tomas a message asking him to look in on this.

No the other completed game was 14445186,where I also finished 2nd. I correctly received a point for that game but not the game I inquired about

Games did not time out.

The opponent did not choose to delete the game. They are just as surprised as I am.

It wasn't timed out.

It's not just timing out. An opponent can choose to delete a game within the first 3 (I think) turns, and the game completely disappears ... no sign it was ever there. That's for friendly games ... I'm not sure about tournament games.

If the game number has been posted and the game times out before the first moves it will show up as black on the wiki.

If someone times out in the first few moves (3 I think) the game gets deleted

Several of my ongoing games are missing and are not in the completed game section. Most are with the same opponent. I don't have game numbers because they are no longer on my game sheet. How would something like this happen?

The score is from 2 completed games.
You get 3 pts for a win, 1pt for a place and 0 for coming last, so it's all correct

I'm a bit confused about the scoring of game #14445187. Stinky Malinky won & of course received 3 points. I finished with 434,and Neurotika finished with 0,yet she received 1 point and I got a zero. Just can't see how that could be -has to be a bug,right? 434 IS higher than 0 I believe

Have you tried pressing down the CTRL button while scrolling down on your mouse, if you have a physical one?

No. I've made no changes to my settings at all.

I'm on a Chromebook, so Chrome OS is all I have access to.

I'm on a Chromebook. I don't have an f-5 button/key.

I tried that, but I really can't see any dots.
My eyesight isn't that great. The board is
also very cluttered with routes.

Did you accidentally change your text size or something? Maybe that had something to do with it.

Oh? I tried it on my Chrome on Android, I couldn't make it look like that.
And All Aboard has no alternative graphics.

What browser are you using?
I get probms on my phone using chrome, which decides to use weird font sizes here. The should bea browser setting to override it but I forget what

We see very big letters and a regular sized image.
This could be a cache problem. If you are on a computer try to reload the page using "control" F5.

I can't address the visual issues, but I can tell you one thing which might help.

If you hover over the card, two green dots, one each over the destination cities will appear. Then you can put the destinations in the notes.

marc

I am having a terrible time trying to read the city names when picking DESTINATION cards. Most of the letters of the cities on the card are not visible or readable, making it terribly difficult to play the game. Mostly it's a guessing game, since I cannot read the names of the cities on the destination cards. I took a screenshot to show exactly what I am dealing with trying to read the cards.



I am playing here at Gold Token on a Lenovo Chromebook.
I don't know what "version" it is, but the problem is consistent
on every game of All Aboard I am playing. I wasn't sure if it was just a one time thing, so I started a second game and the problem with the Destination cards still persists. I don't seem to have a problem picking wagons or engines, it is only with the destination cards, as you can see. Any help fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see how they are useful in messages at all. They need to move them to our games. More useful there.

I very seldom use them as I also find they are more needed in the game messages, I actually dont send that many messages

Unfortunately those "buttons" aren't available where one needs them most: composing a message in a game. I mean, where do you use most: good luck, good game, have fun...

No way. The membership is so cheap that it's kind of daft not to do the membership isn't it?

I actually had no idea where or how to get these, so appreciate the info!!

I have a Mac, & often will use the Emojis, but a friend (non-Mac) said he couldn't see them properly, so this way I can use them for everyone!

If so I would also consider it daft and maybe a bit cruel.

:GLDICE:
:TY1:

This should now be fixed.

I'll check it out, added some extra time to the game.

Mecir, I don't see anything here that stands out to me as a reason - it's so early in the game.

In game #14553157, I got eaten by the T-Rex, which is supposed to result in losing 2 turns. I did lose those turns, but now I still cannot move, so I'm effectively losing a third turn.

I cannot roll the dice, only have the option to 'Save this move'.

In your game #14105241, your total game time is 183:00:00. When it's your turn, that clock ticks until you make a move. Your clock reached 183 days, which is 6 months. Your time bank is completely spent at this point, so you timed out.

How come the other player gets 3 days? We started the game at the same time.

Your overall time in those games cannot exceed 6 months. You timeout if that happens.

I have been playing Animosity tournament games for weeks now.
All of a sudden my games were timing out within 24 hours. They are suppose to be 3 day timeouts. After I move my opponent has 3 days. After they move I have less than 24 hours. Why is this happening?

This appears to have been resolved - thanks.

Thanks!

Tomas has been notified.

I sent Tomas a message.

I reported a similar bug in a Fire Spiller Hypergammon game a while back.

I seem to remember that happening before

Game #14393396.

I believe the game should have ended when Rohiputha resigned, but it has restarted instead.

I repeat, weird.

It does ask and I set it for 100, 6, and 6 for the 3 games. It ignored that.

100 points is not even an option in the non-Diceman games. 15 is the highest possible.

That's weird, I'm sure that was fixed a while ago. I'm certain the system asks you now for separate "points" for diceman and non-diceman tourneys.

I've never included diceman in the Olympics, but that's because of the bug in diceman that makes the games continue beyond the max number of points. Was that one ever fixed? I have to ask because Mecir fixes bugs, he's very good at that, but he keeps it a secret and never tells us when it is done.

Apparently, when Hanging Diceman is included with regular and Kickback Hangman games in a tourney, the regular games pick up the 100 points required to win instead of my selected 4 or 6 points. That would lead to an incredibly long tourney, where the winner has to get 100 words or phrases.

Now I see that it has appeared in The November24 wikiless Turkey Tournament for the The Friendship Club. I have written to the creator of the tourney to make her aware of the issue, but I thought I'd post it here to see if it can be fixed.

Fire Spiller Tourne Case Partners is still incorrectly awarding silver tokens to the losers. The notification I received says I lost the game (which I did) but also says I was awarded a silver token.

There are two teams in this game, one wins and one loses, The only way you should be able to get a silver token is if you agree to a draw.

ah ok

Hey there!

If I remember correctly, I asked Mecir to remove the highlight from your previous move, that way you only had to look at the highlighted squares to determine where you couldn't make a move instead of re-interpretting the board each turn.

not sure if it's a bug or intentional, but in the 3-player game your previous move isn't highlighted when it's your turn.
Not sure if it also applies to 4-player games

steve, when I did that the game would not let me finish the move;so I asked for a draw to
advance the turn...kj

I asked for a draw to open the move box to be shown.
I had 3 moves.
no pawn move.
a good rollout to winning the game..

knight *jarlynn*

No need to end the game. Make your other moves, but skip the pawn moves. It will let you end your move, as if there are no pawns on the board.

Wrong game number: you mean #14529663

I don't play dice chess, I just read the rules. In the rules it says:

Pawn moves are mandatory if possible. This implies that if the dice do not roll a pawn, or if no pawn is able to move, the player can skip the move entirely.

In your case Pawn moves are NOT possible, I guess you must skip the move? If that's so, my condolences

in game number 14596633 [Grand Dice Chess}.
I have a pawn move, there only the piggyback pawns to move so I cannot not move or end
game with Oddie.
thank-you for your help.

jensendk resigned after I posted here which is a pity. I hope Mecir will still look at the bug because it is one.

#14505331
The game did not stop after 3 check repetitions. According to the rules:

Perpetual Checks

If a player keeps his or her opponent in the state of a perpetual check such that the same position is repeated three times on the board during which the opponent is in check for each of his or her moves, the initiator of the perpetual check loses the game. This does not apply if there is at least one turn during which the opponent is not in check - the counter is reset in that case.

The position was repeated with checks on moves 30-34 (black). The counter doesn't seems to be working.

This should now be fixed.

What happened is that several turns earlier, the Sandstorm card was errorneously used to move an arrow square to under the starting location, hiding it there. This should no longer be possible.

Thanks, quite a few moves rolledback. Let's see how it goes when it gets back to where it started going wrong

Hopefully fixed. The problem was with 3+ player games only, I suppose that's why it took so long to trigger. Had to remove some faulty moves from the game (and a few others).

Looking again I was wrong. Itwas move 35 thats wrong, the 6-7 should have satisfied the double 6, but was put on mine instead.

Can the game at least be rolled back to move 35 and the bone placed correctly?
I'm reluctant to play on an already broken tournament game

Yes it went wrong after move 35, oddly enough booth trains ended with a 6 then.
As you say, there was a double 6 that had to be satisfied, so imc unsure when another bone was added to my train, it's too hard to tell now.

Looking again move 38 is where the error occurred, a 3-5 was played so wilsoni's train should end in a 3, but the bone is wrong way round and says it ends in a 5

I don't think this is a bug, as it appears the game is playing according to the rules, but I'm not sure it is what was intended.

I'm in a few multipoint Fire Spiller games where players have timed out, essentially making them two player games. That means each victory is now only worth one point as you score one point 'for each of their opponents still on the board' and there is only one other person still in play. In the normal game you would score 3 points at this point.

Would it make sense for the players to score 3 and 2 points respectively, rather than 1 and 0, to stop games becoming interminably long?

It's been a while since I've played, so I could be wrong, but I think it starts to go wrong around turn 34. Jools train ends in a 7, wilsoni in a 6.

Turn 35, Jools plays a double 6 on wilsoni's train, causing a graphic overlap with his own train. Then on wilson's turn 35, they draw and play a 6-7 which I believe they should only have been able to play on the double 6 as Jools' train was not marked, but it is placed as though it has been played on Jools' train and shows it as now ending in a 6. Jools' next play is on turn 38 when they play a 5-6 on wilsoni's train which appears to update correctly although the graphics are still a mess. Sassy_Angel then somehow manages to play a 3-5 with the 3 adjoining the 5 on wilson's train, but updating Jools' train ending to a 5. wilsoni is then able to play a 5-8 on to their own train but I think at this point it should be ending in a 3 and therefore unplayable with that tile.

Yep, the end of my train has a 5 under there

I had this happen in one of my games a week or so ago but didn't mention it.

Jools seems right. there are 3 players, left right and middle (starting to the top from the 3-3). Currently the left and middle branches have merged, which shouldn't have happened.

The layout looks fine to me. Do you need to clear your cache and refresh the page?

I thought this wasn't possible any more?
#14495706

Hmm. Please hold on that game while we investigate, I'll add extra time to it.

In game #14507574 I am not offered a chance to move although there are legal options to move available to me. This has been the case for several rolls where I should have been able to move again.

Seems to be stuck? Or could just be that Nukkle Dragger will get the 1-1 to start the next round. Could you ask him what he sees?

I've misread, sorry

I can't start in #14455604

You are so right, my turn again. I missed that ;)
Thanks!

That's because after the move to a1 black has no legal move. It probably will say "pass" in the move list. It's your turn again.

My mistake, please ignore.

In game #14481927 a move to A1 doesn't give me any buttons to complete my move. Undo or offer a draw is all I get. Any other move looks normal. Am I missing something?

I think you're opponent has to accept the loss rather than it being automatic.

#14468309 after my move 23 the game should be over. All the areas belong to someone. Am I missing something?

Probably in a spam folder somewhere.
With spam filters on my email server, email client and anti-virus it's a constant battle stopping white-listed emails ending up in spam

there will be no code .. point is that I don't believe the mail server is working properly

finally got an email .. at My yahoo email .. but it was not verification code .. it was just a single email that it was My turn .. one .. only one .. nope, it's not working properly at all

Why would they send the code to the old email address instead of the new one?
That makes no sense. I have not been able to access my old email account in a couple of years.

If useless means you can't read it you're out of luck because that's where gt will send the verification code.

.
So after 3 days of not receiving the email change verification code from GoldToken, my old useless email address showed back up in my preferences for my email address.

so far I have tried gmail.com and proton.me accounts .. no emails

currently set to yahoo.com account, haven't received any emails yet

.
I purposely do not want to receive any email from GoldToken so I do not have the boxes checked.
But, I went ahead and updated my email address and now on my game sheet I need to enter a verification code. Except the site did not email me the code I need to enter. So I would have to agree that there is some sort of bug.

Then sorry, no more bright ideas. Try support, They may have access to the email address. If not then only our admin can answer that.

yep .. got em all checked in attempt to force SOMETHING to get thru lol

yes, I know how to set it, have tried 3 domains so far, thanks

I used to receive emails that I didn't want, turned out it was on my son's account that used me email address..
Unless you check the box. You get none

I forgot something, I haven't touched this for an eternity. in Preferences -> E-mail you have check-boxes listing the emails you want to receive. I guess that if nothing is checked you'll receive no emails.

Last received on Monday. my email is @yahoo.com.

I repeat, look in your Preferences -> Account. line "E-mail address" gives you the email you used when subscribing , that's the one goldtoken uses to send you emails.

nope .. neither Gmail.com nor proton.me domains have received ANY email.

what domain are you using?
when was your last received email?

thanks,
Steven

I usually receive emails:
"New round starting in tournament"
"GoldToken Monthly Newsletter"

We receive them on the email we gave when creating the GT account.
You can find that email on Preferences -> Account
Check your email spam folder!

I have never received an email from goldtoken at any of the email accounts that I have tried .. is this an issue for anybody else?

maybe we need a poll to ask if anyone has actually received emails from goldtoken in the last few months

if not, then maybe there is a problem with the email exchange server


cheers,
Steven

Thanks

Should be fixed
