My account has been unable to deploy troops for the last 48 hours. Can't see maps on some games.
 
YEP ! Same here, very frustrating.
 
The site runs fine again now. Thanks for fixing this.
Probably bugs, glitches, and backend cleanups should be given priority over new features :)

Okay, it seems like the password, notes, and fivers, are working as expected. If anyone has any suggestion, now is the time.

@sannheten - The issue with the -1 troops is a UI issue. A hard refresh (Ctrl + F5) would clear the problem. I will implement a UI fix, but not for this release. It will be in the next one. If it happens again, just reload the page and it should fix itself.

@matildathehun - Link you got was for the testing site. Unfortunately games on the testing site send out links with the MajorCommand URL, so it's misleading. Where you really wanted to go is here - https://playmaj.com/beta/50866

@bilsi - I know you've been wanted passwords for a long time. Anything you want to add at this stage?

Passwords finally...thank you!!! Nothing else I can think of right now except maybe a "SURRENDER" button?
 
Time to start tourney's again. Private mail me with suggestions. Will be something on Land Rush, probably escalate, unlimited, path.
 
I like the password-protect and surrender ideas, and as a new feature I think “fog of war” might be good, as might a game mode in which one randomizes teams (a related feature would be a way to exclude people with overly low - or high - ratings or bad attendance records) at the beginning, which might help people to get team games going on a larger scale.

As for why the randomize feature would be good I am signed up for 33 team games ATM with only four active (one of them glitched and waiting for a draw by mutual non-moves), with a large percentage of those being many months old and “stacked” - i.e. good players all on one team and nobody else here wanting to face them. And if this were implemented it would be nice to have two randomize functions, one being pure random and the other being a “balanced random” in which ratings were balanced out (i.e. roughly the same net ratings on each side) by an algorithm.

And regarding the frozen game/gameboard not loading bug, xcaliber had this resolved in conjunction with not moving on any game for 24 (or maybe longer as he states 48 above) hours, hopefully that piece of data is useful as a way to diagnose the bug or as a individual fix for people affected by it.
 
I got a notification that it was my turn, but when I went to the PlayMaj site, my active game and pending games had disappeared. The issue persisted this morning.

I imagine this isn't a bug, but I'm flagging just in case.
 
If you take out a player and get 8 cards, it is still necessary to refresh the site, to be able to go on. Is this hard to fix?

Since I know about it, it is not a big issue for my part. But for a new player to the site it must be confusing.
 
Fyi: I cant access my games on the test site.
 
I'm assuming the test site has run its course then...
 
Actually, not being able to login to the test site is something unexpected. We're looking into it now. Hopefully a small glitch we can work out.

We need your help!​

Help with what?​


We have an important update that includes 2 new features and one significant fix.
  1. NEW: Games can now be Password Protected
  2. NEW: Game Notes can be added when creating new games
  3. FIX: 5 player teams (Fivers) now works!
But we really really really need you help testing. Everything must work perfectly before we can release it to the live site.


How can you help?​


Here is a guide to help test these new features:
  1. Go to our Testing Site - https://playmaj.com/
  2. Login with your current account
    1. You can use your current username/password... if it does not work, don't worry, go to step 3!
  3. Create a new account
    1. It is okay to create as many new accounts as you want on the Testing Site Only.
  4. Create a new game
    1. Create games with Passwords
    2. Create Team games with Passwords
    3. Create Teams of 5 games (Fivers) with Passwords
      1. Share the password in the Notes section so other can join!
  5. Join an existing game
    1. Join games with passwords
      1. Try joining using the wrong password
      2. Try joining with the correct password
      3. Join a team game
      4. Try joining from the Game-page (that displays the map) as opposed to just from the list of games
        1. Example of joining from the Game-Page as opposed to Game-List.

          View attachment 2443
        2. But do both anyway for testing!

  • Please Note: Anything that happens on the testing site will not affect your account or games here.
And of course - Please leave comments below!

Thanks for helping us improve this site.
Have fun. :)

Hi,

I tried to join a couple of Fivers with passwords, both from the game list and directly from the Game-page : it didn't work with the wrong password (as expected) and it did with the correct one.

Al.

Ps : thanks for all the great work, Sheriff !
