Request ability to nickname maps per player

StrangeTalent · May 16th 2016, 9:27pm

Perhaps this could be cached in the player's browser info?

Example: World at War 1932 - 100 Players (game w/ Dantei)

Bold is what the current title shows on every world map game. Anything in parentheses would be a nickname set by the individual player, seen only by them in their games list.

I believe this addition would create swifter joining of the intended map you are looking for, rather than struggling to remember the map numbers.

That sounds really good.

The game creator can already assign map names.

StrangeTalent · May 16th 2016, 10:36pm

Yes. World Maps are automatic, and do not get names by creator. This is for the players joining, so they can differentiate their maps from each other.

A suggested design would be this:

World Game 2
GameID

But why name world maps if you cant create them....

StrangeTalent · May 17th 2016, 4:34pm

We are not naming them. We are attempting to organize our games list.

When you have, say, 3 world maps open, it may be difficult to remember which map is which.

If we could have those 3 world maps say:
World at War 1932 - 100 players (Tibet)
World at War 1932 - 100 players (Game w/ Dantei)
World at War 1932 - 100 players (Europe)

We can label it whatever we want, and only WE can see it, not other players.

Why do people seem to have trouble grasping this idea?

StrangeTalent · May 17th 2016, 5:30pm

To be fair, it is Squiggles we're talking about

Good suggestion.

Not a bad idea. Helps good with organizing, and you dont have to remember a number all the time.

Put it on the calendar, Squiggles understands!

Or the game operators could give the world maps individual names, or we could just ignore the people with inferior memory, or you could get a notebook and write it down if it's that hard to remember, or (100e+1,000,000^100) other things besides this.

Its not really a problem for me, I have some of the "good memory" you speak of

We use Discord and have everything in different channels, but it can still get overwhelming.

Yes, those chats are very overwhelming.

I second this, as I've had to mute almost all those channels except for the ones I'm in. Even then it gets overwhelming and confusing. If new users wanted to play multiple games, this would help them immensely if they could give local nicknames (only they can see it) to their games.

In addition: Having a label that shows what country you're playing as under each game would also be helpful. This is primarily how I organize and remember my games.
