13. Apr 2014 19:49 • dayo001 • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

I can see 2 pink bases and no purple base.

We thought that right pink base is actually purple base.
But, when purple player unload a crystal on right pink base, pink player gain VP.

Same problem on table ID 8656662. We haven't yet tested unloading crystals, but those two bases look *exactly* the same.

10. Aug 2014 22:30 • xyzzy • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Same thing happened in table n°9728943. We haven't checked how the unloading works, but this is a turn-based game, and I don't really love the idea of playing for days, only to find that the game has been unwinnable for the purple player for all this time, so I guess we're gonna abandon the game.

Please fix this. This is not a display problem "with no consequences for the game", as labelled. It's a huge problem.

I have seen this on two different tables.

I see the same problem as dayo001. two pink bases, and the one that i thought should be the purple one (based on symmetry of the board) gave points to the pink player.

This is a serious bug. Please fix it.

I should have included the table number. The game is at

en.4.boardgamearena.com/twintinbots?table=28176684

Fixed.

Sorry for the very long fixing delay.

Thank you. I believe I am speaking for a lot of users, not just for myself, when I say that we appreciate the hard work you guys put into the site as basically volunteers, and we realize improvements often must take time, especially for less popular games such as this one.

But, that said: This was a bug that, if I understand correctly, has made some (all?) six-player games literally unplayable for almost 3 years. If it was left unfixed for such a long time, for whatever reason (lack of time, lack of expertise, someone kept forgetting, prioritizing other, more voted on, bugs, etc.) why couldn't the BGA staff in the meantime make executive decision and disable 6-player games? I bet it's a matter of one or two clicks. Not fixing bugs for years I can live with. But knowingly allowing further unsuspecting players to start broken games? It's just wrong. Who knows how many of them stopped playing this game at all because of it, or maybe playing on BGA altogether?

Please, please re-tool the bugs management so that, in future, serious flaws, if they aren't being fixed, will result in disabling the game, some modes of game, or at least putting big red glowing warnings on the game table screen, so that everyone knows the risk of not finishing it. Even if said bugs have only few votes (like this one) or are mislablelled as harmless (like this one). It's a matter of basic respect and courtesy.

Thank you again.
