Is the tournament code currently being tested? I just tried joining a "yellow" 1c game and it told me it would cost 10c to join and would last 4 hours.
Now when I try to join a 1c game I get "unexpected response from server" - is this just the way you join the tournament?
So now do I just start 1c games and wait for others to join?
Will there be prize money on this one?
Edit: Ok, just tried creating a game and got: unexpected response from server.
But that would create the problem of players constantly leaving games in order to gain an advantage. The problem of players leaving games early is already bad enough. Giving them such a huge incentive to do so would just make things 100 times worse.
I'm not sure that one coin is a huge incentive to leave early given that the advantage given to one side by a board will be on average quite low, if there is one at all.
As I can see it the problem is that players have already committed one coin before they see the board meaning that concerning that one coin the player could be in a better or worse situation depending on the chance layout of the board.
A simple solution:
If a player leaves the game before they commit to any decisions then both players get their coin back.
This way the player can always opt out if they believe a board is unfair. In practice I don't think many people will do this. But importantly, now the layout of the board is no longer a chance element as players get to see it before committing to a game.
