Thad: I don't see any compelling reason for a player to be able to see his opponent's dice before the opponent moves. It's nothing but monkey curiosity that makes us want to know what's going to happen next. There's nothing we can do anyway, except maybe resign, and we can always do that when the turn comes back to us.
alanback: Don't you ever want to 'look ahead'? ;-)
Say you just made a nice blockade with a hole in it. Maybe your opponent can get thru it, but only with a roll of 5-3. If it's a slow-playing opponent, you might not see the result for several days. I'd like to be able to see the dice roll right away (when possible).
Thad: That's what I meant by monkey curiosity. Sure, I have that too. But it isn't a compelling reason to see the dice. Or to ask Fencer to do more programming when there other more important features that could be implemented.
