Any answer on this? It pretty much means I can't play a game with "elemental" in play, unless I want to have half the game be random because I'm flying blind (I've actually won a few of those, but really...).

Further question: what use are magic items? I have one, but the rules are pretty sparse (by that I mean there's nothing) about them.

I have that problem too, but when it happens just go to your active matches and select the one you are on. It will reload the "assets" and the elements will appear again. No idea how many matches it took me to figure that out.

It happens on both IE6 and FF.

A simple "refresh" makes the elements symbols reappear; that's no big deal at all.

The problem is that whenever a card is played onto an element symbol it disappears completely, replaced with a big '-1' (or '+1', as appropriate) on a gray background. I can't find any way of getting it to show the card underneath, thus if I didn't get a glimpse of it* while it was being played (i.e. while it was moving down the screen into position) I've no clue what's sitting there. This happens to the cards I play as well, but at least with those I've had a chance to look at them first and can sort-of try and remember what's where.

* - particularly bad when it freezes; I reload the game and there's a new '-1' sitting there...Wandering Trickster seems to freeze way more often than Bored Guardsman does.

Even something like a "show last card played" option would be a functional workaround, as I could then scribble that card's stats onto a piece of paper.

That has never happened to me.

Back to the Tournament Game issue....

Also, ever since the Trounament game between myself and flanel shirt got "hung" (says pending even though it finished for both of us): My card inventory is skewed. It looks like it is still holding my tournament cards as "in use". If I select an NPC game where I get to choose (e.g. Bored Guard or Card Sharp), it says some cards have 0 (and even -1 !) available. However, if I choose a random select game (e.g. Wandering Trickster), all my cards are apparently available, because some of the random cards chosen otherwise show up as zero available.

I'm pretty sure it's related to the tournament game being hosed, but good luck debugging that

I'll second that.

Even with all the bugs I still have fun playing it. I recently won a pot of gold called lucky bottle? No flipping clue what it does but I have one.

What I would love to see is a way to trade to a specific person or leave messages on a current trade. I'll give you this if you change that. The current trade by Orius is a good example. You can get all those cards for free.

Are you using Firefox? For me, I don't have that problem. It might be browser related.

I'm playing against the summoned Imp. Each time I try to play a card to prepare a combo, he ALWAYS play his card that the right place. I'm feeling like playing a player who see my card, but I'm unable to see his. That's make almost impossible to win against him.

Also, I will come back with one of my earlier question: What does the item. That's another problem I see. These cards are totally random to me, but the computer seems to be well aware how to use them. That's also annoying.

I'm using IE6. It's about the only browser that doesn't make my (admittedly old and creaky) computer completely choke.

Is the Second Tournament stuck? It has been two or three days (I think) since I advanced via my opponent's disqualification. My match with [MENTION=48135]Fifth Element[/MENTION] hasn't started.

I am, of course, moving this weekend and had hoped to play my match before I was offline for a day or two.

One thing I find annoying is the Direct Win Condition when you tied a game.

Let's see an exemple.

Player starts with cards P1 to P5.
CPU starts with cards C1 to C5.

After a tie, player 1 ends with P1, P2, C3, C4, C5
CPU ends with C1, C2, P3, P4, P5

During the rematch, the player is able to flip P3 and P4 while the CPU flip only C5.

Game result: Player win P3 and P4 cards while he lose C5.

After the rematch, player 1 ends with P1, P2, P3, P4, C3, C4
CPU ends with C1, C2, C5, P5

So, in the end, the player lose cards he hasn't even start with and gain cards the CPU didn't had... sounds like strange. I would have expected either:

In case of tie: Player would have won cards C3, C4, C5 and lost P3, P4, P5

OR

In case of tie, rematch, but at the end, Player would have lost P5 but would have won C3 and C4.

Because at the moment, you can lose cards you don't even have. Or worst, card you had only once and you didn't even bet in the challenge.
