yeezus is right, unless you have one hand, holding ctrl and clicking someone isnt a PITA

Except that on the mobile app you can't even change a person's color manually. I'd like to know how many people even play 40 player games now (I bet not many). I am playing in one now and we've already had a few boots and turns take a week (it is an rp game). When you factor in vacations for that many players the game grinds to a halt. Adding another 10 players will only make that worse.

Plenty of people play 40 player games, especially in multi-day tab, one is almost full right now actually. And if you don't want the game to be slow, make the boot time short and no vacations, done. If you don't want a bunch of people booted and gone, turn on AI's!

With the phone thing, you're right. Perhaps Fizzer could allow players to change colours of others on mobile? If not, they'll still receive the pop-up warning telling them the possible difficulties and it'll be their choice to play or not.

EDIT: I still think 50P games would be an awesome exclusive for members imo

Ironic for a non-member to be advocating for member-only features while two members are arguing against it

yup

What Sharpe said.

I tried to buy membership but I can't and Fizzer doesn't know why. For him, the page he links looks much different than for me...? Although I'm kind of glad it didn't work and I didn't buy it cause now I'm having second thoughts about it... There's nothing members can do that a high level player can't which matters to me!

For the same reasons Chris mentioned, I would never join such a large game, however this is one of those things where adding the functionality will not hurt anyone who doesn't want to use it: neither make not join those games. However I'm quite sure some people will find a benefit in it.

The colours, as has been mentioned already have their own issues, and adding ten more would not, I wouldn't expect, serve to exacerbate them.

I avoid 40 player games, unless by some bizarre twist of fate I'm hosting one!

But if we do make 50 player games. . . hey, having a 100% 25v25 score would be an interesting challenge.

I myself have zero problems with the 40P colours. I can easily tell them apart with one exception (two different light blues) but fixing that with colour swaps and such is easy.

Fizzer probably saw this post already but has yet to answer... Is it even possible to have that many players?

I dunno about the colors not being confusing, I don't recall there ever being an Austria-Slovakia pact.

I am not arguing against it. Frankly I don't care because I would not use it. I was just trying to understand if it is really in demand (because there are many other things I would put WAY above this on my list of things we could use).

Taisho, If you're talking about the map picture, are you poor in vision? The colours look very different.

To some players who have colorblindness (like myself) many of the colors already in use are difficult to distinguish between, adding ten more colors would be very painful to distinguish which is which.

If you're able to show me proof that of the current colours Cyan and Aqua can be easily told apart, i will support this useless cause.

also you should test them against a black background rather than white.

@Namaimo, than don't play big games, duh?

@Cheery Dog, what the flying fuck are you talkin' about? Who said anything about Aqua and Cyan?
