Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here (at least to being a paid member and going crazy with hundreds of games), so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Now that I'm signed up for lots of tournaments and have a few hundred games on the go, I'm trying to fix the way games come up for me. I have it set so that once I've moved in a game, it automatically takes me to the next game, as I'm sure most people do. My issue is what the "next game" is. What's happening now is that games I've just moved in keep coming back to the top. So, for example, I'll have 150 games waiting for moves, but sometimes I don't get more than 10 or 20 down the list for an hour (unless I select them manually or use the "Play Later" button, of course) because a few people involved in dice poker (again as an example - could be any game) keep moving quickly, and those games keep popping up. I've tried changing the "Sort next games by" setting, but that doesn't help. Ideally, I'd like it to go through the whole list of games waiting for me before coming back for the next move with anyone. I assume/hope there's a setting somewhere I'm missing.
Carpe Diem: Actually, the "Sort next games by" option is obsolete (and should be removed) because games are sorted by time left only due to some performance issues we had observed in the past. It means that "next game" is always the game with the least time left to make a move.
Carpe Diem: What's needed is a sort by "games that have been waiting for me to move the longest" option. In other words, sort by opponent's last move time.
Fencer: Thanks for the quick reply. So it sounds like what I'm looking for doesn't exist. :( I guess the best way to go for now is to use the "Play Later" button for games that keep coming back that I want to get to later. If you ever find a way to add this option, it would make things perfect on an otherwise great site.
Thad: Yes, exactly - this is what I'm looking for.
Carpe Diem: Have you checked out the options on the first page of your settings? I mean the part where you can choose which options are in the menu when you "Submit move and .... "
I swore there was an option in that list that might be appropriate for what you are asking. Maybe I'm wrong.
EDIT : Eh, I looked, I guess not. But there are some good options there if you haven't seen them.
likewowman2cool: That's the one I was kind of thinking might help him a little, too.
I'm STILL hanging on to hope that someday one more option will be added. Move and Go to next flagged game
Where you can flag certain games. Prize tournament games might be something one might like to flag, for that option. Or if you have a lot of games, and you know of people who would like you to move fast with them, you could flag that game.
I can think of a few other good applications for that feature!
