HOW TO UNHANG GAMES YOU'VE LEFT:

In the Battle Arena it shows all of the games that are running. When you hover your mouse over the Watch link (or if you just go and watch it and check the address) it shows a number at the end of that link, like this:

To get back to your game, copy your number to this version of the link:

HOW TO UNHANG GAMES IN PROGRESS, or fix games that are somehow showing wrong information (cards in the wrong position etc., it happens):

Refresh.

Can I humbly request a rules update? The Drunken Cardsharp has now played two cards against me that have no numbers (one had a leprechaun, the other had a circle thing with a rune thing in the middle). I have no idea what these cards are or what they do, but I seem to be losing my cards to them.

They're magic item cards. I'm not 100% clear what they do either; I tink they're just very powerful cards, but I'll try to find a clarification.

Update: Wandering Trickster just played a card that looked like circles set up like a star of David. Somehow, this resulted in a card being put into play outside of the normal nine positions. WTF? Whatever happened, I lost a Biggo card to it.

How do you mean outside the normal nine positions?

The combo rule doesn't seem to be working properly (or I don't understand it). I've been playing against the Wandering Trickster--it says that the combo rule is in play. But when I get what should, I think, trigger combos, they don't.

It only applies when invoking Same, Same Wall or Plus. I'll update the rules to reflect that.

How do you mean outside the normal nine positions?

I've seen cards placed against the edge of the playing field outside of it, but so far I'm convinced it's just a visual bug that a good refresh should fix. It's hard to test when it happens so rarely.

As an aside, what's the point of the Activity Level counter in the Achievements tab in my profile, and why does losing in card games bring it down? Losing is not an activity?


Edit:

We still need three more people to join in to test the tournament system.

The Drunken Cardsharp is really annoying. I get good cards from him when I lose, and lose good cards when I win. Maybe I should just try losing to him all the time.

Edit: Check this out! I managed a six-card combo:

And I only used basic level 1 cards!

Any time you could get the info would be great. It's not a big deal right now, but if I had paid for the cards and then lost them to the computer playing a magic "I win" card, I would have been annoyed.

See attached.

Later, the match froze and I was forced to reload it. When that happened, the card moved back to inside, but the Biggo that was mine disappeared (the one that was the computers remained his, I think showing the card twice was a glitch). The sad thing is that I would have been able to save the Biggo if I had known it was turned.

 

[Morrus]

Found it. They're rare cards with scores of 10 on each side.

Since they're so powerful, I've made it so that the NPCs have them much less often (especially the weaker NPCs).

Gave it a try and it was more fun than this I anticipated.

If I buy more gold, is it going to be deducted again if there are price increases?

 

[Morrus]

No - if you ever give me money for something, I'm not going to take it away from you.
