[GP/UI] Choose Which Position (Color) to Join in a Game

[blakebowling]

Concise description:

• Allow for players to choose the colors of their Armies when they enter a game.

Specifics:

• When a player enters a game, they have to use whatever color, based on what position they enter. With this, they get to choose what color they will use during the game.
• For each slot in a game, there shall be a "Join Game" link, allowing you to pick whichever color you want.
• However, the order of colors will remain the same. So for quads, it will not be Ex. G+O+Y+C vs R+P+B+S.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• Give the option for players to possibly pick their favorite and/or lucky color
• Will vastly help color blind players.

hard to implemenyt in my opinion and wouldnt people fight over colors?

[dussle]

It would be hard to implement, although that would be cool, I don't think its worth Lack wasting his time on.

Maybe instead of having this as an in-game option we could have the choice from 1-6 of the colours we want to be in our settings, it would just be like those ballot papers to fill out.

This would be easy to implement. Click join game and then get a popup asking which color you want.

The color is simply stored as property of your player for that game.

I like to be red, so i create my own games so i can be the first to join. Just dont join games when it wont be your color if color is that important to you.

[Herakilla]

if this was done then could ppl choose their colors in the oder the join? like when they join there is a question asking which color they want and then the next person will see the same thing minus the colors already chosen.

EDIT: I believe this would be a hassle to implement

Being a boy, I hate it when I am the last person to join a game and I am pink.

Are you seriously worried about your colour being pink? That's the kind of thing an 8 year old gives out about.

EDIT: I just looked at your web site. If you're man enough to boast about choreographing dance moves and liking Molin Rouge, then you should be able to deal with the odd time you're pink in Conquer Club.

No popups.

how about something like:

join first: first color choice

join last: last color pick

[qeee1]

How about this:

Deal with being pink. Let Lack spend his time on more important things.

Hey qeee1. How about giving the guy a break. If he thinks its important enough to make a post about it who are you to criticize? If the site is here for everyone's enjoyment maybe this would make his experience here more joyful.

I personally like the idea of choosing your own color, but it doesn't really bother me. I usually am the last to join a game and get the color pink.

[Phobia]

if you really hate being pink...just make sure your not the last person to join a game

[D.IsleRealBrown]

Seriously, this is the least of my complaints.

I'm fucking qeee1, that's who I am! (joke)

Anyway yeah the guy's complaining about what colour he is. I feel entitled to criticize the suggestion as the implementation of such would detract from more important matters, and detract from others possible enjoyment of the site.
