New Algorithm for filling empty seats

[frish]

I have played here frequently and for a long time. I like it. B)

 

Is it my imagination, or, do those who host tables that have low ranking first initials, get differential and worse service, since:

 

1. Their name is below the window of seats available.

 

2. The algorithm of the place next player who requests a seat (something I always do, I like adventure) seems to also discriminate against the first letter of the table host.

 

Perhaps length of time with an open seat is a more just way to provide players and/or display tables with empty seats.

Hi,

 

Yes it's your imagination. How will you propose tables are displayed, if not alphabetically, so that it's fair for everyone yet remain orderly?

 

Firstly, most people use Help Me Find A Game to find seats, so the list of tables like you mention isn't an issue.

 

Secondly, people who like to choose seats, and are not using "HMFAG - List interesting tables" to choose seats usually have a clear idea of what kind of oppo/partners they want, so this is unlikely to be an issue either. Most regulars will start choosing based on friends, who conveniently pop up in a brighter colour.

 

I'm not sure what (2) means.

 

Take care

Rain :)
