If all goes well, we'll have our first full month for the tournament. I logged the pages locally in case my script goes awry. Thanks for playing!
I finally had some time to work on the suggested interface upgrades, but waiting until a new month.

At least for me, the tournament definitely gave extra incentive to play every day, so adding that worked out pretty well. Although perhaps that was because I won this round... 👑
Did anyone feel the opposite, after the chances of reaching a high rank in the tournament became impossible?
@gritty I wonder if the scoring needs adjusting so more people can get points, with a smaller difference between the top ranks? Maybe after another one or two tournaments we can see if there is need to change it.

I've come to water my plant, farkle, then see what BBS is doing in the morning.

I got first place in Farkle (at least so far today), again without any really impressive rolls. it brings me back to my questions about the game design. Would it be more fun if scoring were a little easier?
@gritty love the user interface improvements

Thanks for the feedback. I could give points to the top ten, first gets 10, then 9 and so on.
thoughts?
note, I still haven't resolved the case of a tie for points. it's in descending order by however the db pulls it. still on my todo list.
@satch thanks, and I still haven't forgotten the suggestion. I like the randomness with a bit of skill thrown in. however I'm trying to how more point avenues would affect the game, and more importantly, how to implement.

I still think you've really captured the game I grew up with. Although we didn't get 10 turns but then again it was in person. So when you held it went to the next person, and this version takes that slack up as a solo game.
