I think I posted awhile back these ideas on how I would like to see an auto-pass system setup - again, just my opinions, but here is what I would like to see:
1. Each person decides for themselves if they want to use autopass. (If I want to use autopass, GREAT - let me. If my opponent does not want to use it - Fine, let them click pass each time.) Right now, it's almost like player 1 decided how player 2 plays which doesn't make sense to me.
2. For games with "Pass" (non-cube Gammon games, Ludo) - have an option in setting that says "turn autopass on". Then for ALL those games, let the system "roll" the dice for me and if I have a pass - put a short auto-message of "opponent used autopass" and send it back to the other player.
3. For Gammon games with cubes - if a move comes to me where I have to pass - give me an option that says "Pass this turn & autopass moves until able to move" - this will continue to pass (not double) until I can either make a move, or my opponent doubles & I have to answer that double. FOR EXAMPLE. Lets say I have a pass, I choose to auto-pass - it will autopass for me for the next 4 turns and then I'm able to make a move. But then the next turn, I'm stuck again - SO I get the option to "Pass this turn & autopass moves until able to move". ..... You do it this way so lets say I'm to a Pass, maybe I will want to look at each turn to decide if I want to double or not.
=================
Of course there is the additional suggestion of auto-move - these would be games like ludo, checkers, etc.... if there is ONLY 1 move to make, then let the system auto-move for me.
AGAIN - These should be options that I can turn on for myself only. I shouldn't be able to force other players to play a certain way. If they want to use auto-pass, then why not let them (the game will have the same result either way.) It is pretty dumb to let one player force another player to play a certain way.
I know changing these for this system is not a priority, but just wanted to post who I would love to see if in case it ever is changed.
coan.net: In games like chess and checkers i have seen a good system where you "suggest" the next few moves to the system (without the opp knowing)... if both players suggest the same sequence it gets played out automagically.
this is very useful for extended check sequences in chess, or common openings sometimes.
