I just see people kinda abusing this.. Having friends or well-influence people voting someone out and pressuring you to do the same.

Well, you could have rooms where the host holds all power, and others where it's open public, so no one can get kicked out. He could make it so that if I create a room, and only want certain people in, I could kick other people out that I don't want, because it's my room.

I don't think that's necessary. The columns are organized from host to joining time.. So when the host leave, the 2nd oldest( can't think of a better word), becomes host, which I think seems appropriate, instead of having it organized by fastest.

This is easily fixed. The host can be a different color than everyone else. Doesn't matter how the column changes between the fastest people, the host will always be the different color. Who cares about people's joining times? What should matter is who the host is (if kicking is possible and he holds power) AND the solve times. By having it arranged in order of speed, it's much easier to find out how well you are doing compared to others, with a quick glance.

Also whoever is the fastest changes from time to time, so then it would be very unpractical for the columns to suddenly switch from places and places.

Could you explain why?

I think it's quite easy to tell who is the 'fastest" atm by looking at the avg on top, or just simply really compare who has the most red times in their column.

I find this is much more impractical, then having a quick glance at your positioning among everyone else, and finding out where you stand.

I can't seem to get it to work, when I join or create a game, I just get an empty purple screen.

Weird. Maybe you were experiencing a temporary problem. Can you check again? (Check that your connection is fine too.)

Well then the host could abuse his power. It's true you can kick people you don't want but then you could just simply made it private and only give the pass to the people you do want. IMO I like it with as simple separation of private/public rooms both with no kicking power.

Just as easy to look at the avg numbers on top.

Could you explain why?

Because then the columns have to literally switch places almost EVERY single round which I see can create lag and I really don't see a point of it.

Or just look at the avg of top really.


-------Topic Change-----

A way to set your default start/stop will be nice..
A universal lobby chat? I think this would be nice too. Like if you see a person there. You can ask on the lobby chat hey wanna join a 2x2x2 game, etc...
Clearer Instructions Like Stefan said..

That's the point. If I make a room, I can kick everyone out, and abuse my power. If my room sucks, make another room, where others will be happy to join, since everyone should hate my room.

Just as easy to look at the avg numbers on top.

Nope. That is more impractical, then having all rows ordered by fastest time.

Again, that's not as easy as a quick glance to see how far to the left you are.

Can you post a screen capture on the main page demoing this? I hate registering for things I won't use long term.

Could work on the asthetics of the site, but this is great.

^I agree 110% the main is pretty ambiguous and blank, not very enticing.

Impractical=/= fast. I don't find it sensible or realistic to have columns switching places every rounds when you can simply look at the number on top.

 

[TiLiMayor]

Little scramble pic would be great.

 

[ElectricDoodie]

Impractical=/= fast.

This is obvious, and I've BEEN saying that.
Impractical means "not practical."
Not practical =/= fast.
Practical = fast.

It's more practical to glance at how close you are to the left side, to see how well you are doing among others. This is a much faster way to figure out your standing, then what you suggested.

What you suggested was an impractical way to figure out your standing, which means it's not as fast.

I don't find it sensible or realistic to have columns switching places every rounds when you can simply look at the number on top.

Now, you're talking about the coding, and not about the user end of things.
Please, pick one side of the argument, so we're on the same page.

where you have the good, bad, pll skip, etc... have pop

agreed

I don't know how possible this would be (or if it'd be abused) but it'd be cool to have a rating system like xbox live. You can prefer or avoid players (avoided ones you can't play with).. Or just be able to rate someone. Like, if it's obvious they are cheating you can rate them and maybe after so many the get a temp ban or something.


Also, it'd be cool to be able to choose which key starts the timer. I'm really used to space so i often don't start the timer (thoug that's an easy habit to break, I'm just being picky here)!


Overall, cool idea! Nice job!

FYI the space bar would put a space in the chat box at the bottom

I am having the exact same problem as E3cubestore, whenever I try to join a gam it is just a purple screen with the text bar in the middle of it. And no it is not my connection, my connection is working fine.

 

[Andreaillest]

Why am I just seeing this? This is awesome! Muchos Gracias!

Wow, very nice. I agree that it needs some interface changes and some visual redesign, but so far I really like it. Keep up the good work!

 

[Chrisalead]

I registered on monday, and since I was able to log once on the site. Now if I type in my log/pwd, nothing happens !

Great site, here's some suggestions for further development

-The timer needs to be worked on. I can get used to pressing ctrl, but having to wait for the green ready sign is very annoying. I also have to let go of ctrl almost instant after receiving the ready signal, if not the timer starts by itself.

-The layout showing times can be improved, when too many people joins the window gets really stretched, you could set a max limit for people in a game.
