The idea being, you could jump right into the game, and get picks in before the opponent even realizes the game has started. Is that right?

The time it takes you to pick is defined from when you click "begin" to when you commit your picks. There's no advantage to madly refreshing and trying to be first to see that a game has started.

Tournaments:
Single Elim, Double Elim, and Round-Robin tournaments, similar to Seasonal Ladder Games, with a single buy-in, and prizes at the end.

I also think cointournaments would be a great addition to this. Though I suggest only making RTtourneys and MDtourneys with a maximum of 1-2 day autoboot available. Playing a tourney that drags on for several months would be a bad idea when it's for real money. Limiting the number of players in cointourneys would also be a good idea.

But, If the 1st player that joins is AFK, waiting for the Multi-day coin game to start, then the 2nd player that joins will get the picks in first. Or am I missing a step to the mechanics?

How does that work for players with the 'Skip the Begin Button' option toggled?

It gives a different message explaining the timing feature which you can't skip.

Love it.
Though I haven't tried out the coin games yet due to my hiatus from the game, I damn sure will once I get back into this.

Fizzer should really make a secondary seasonal ladder and give us the ability to create tournaments with buy ins like it was suggested somewhere.

Also, maybe just maybe, separate statistics on the player profiles for coin games and a score table of most won, not bought, coins much like there is one with points?

Why do these games not have transfer/attack only options on them? Also, it does not state on the page that they are RT, nor does it have a template link.

I also don't understand the 7,500 coin minimum to withdraw. I get the idea of having a min, but I could go 100-0 on the Earth 1v1 (80 coin deposit) and still not have enough coins to actually withdraw them. Sure, I can make higher coin games and get there faster, but that still seems silly to me that I could win 100 in a row (and since it is anonymous you cannot game the system) and still not be able to do anything with those wins.

Can you please put the game link back in settings? Some of us use the Chrome Application Shortcuts to play WarLight and therefore can’t see the address bar. It’s very inconvenient to have to open a new Chrome window just to get the link.

dont use chrome, problem solved.

Safari and Chrome work for me. Firefox is for NERDS.

Chrome works fine if you use the browser and just go to the website, it's the applet or whatever it is that he's talking about. Just use warlight.net and problem solved. You can even bookmark it.

you mean i shouldnt have clicked for that emssage not to reappear?

after 2 victories and 2 defeats i ran out of coins, at this rate the free coins will run out of everyone quite quickly and only the very good players will be able to play it. I realise fizzer made it like this to avoid having players getting money out without having others putting money in, but i doubt players ill be paying to join if the very good players will just suck the coins out of them in no time

With all games listed in the Transcations, more than the last 10 would look awesome :P

I just got 100 free coins. How easy is it to keep doing that and make a fortune exploiting it?

To be eligible to register and open an account and/or participate in any tournament offered on the Site, you must: (a) be a natural person

ups....

I didn't even get free coins.What's up?

did you recieve in other accounts? i know people who ahve several accounts and recieved in soem of them but wqhen they kept onj goign to their other accounts they stopped getting, i wont mention names

Using the applet is more preferable to me and a few other users and I don't really see any harm in keeping the link in the settings window as well as in the address bar.

You have to do a short 3 question demographic questionnaire and you get 100 free coins. Not sure if the other coin thread talked about this?

Anyway, particularly exploitable with alts. I believe I found it on Coins tab.
