Thanks to a suggestion from @Mike-Ox-Big we will be testing new requirements for the expert level tables. About a month ago we updated statistics to include Winning Trend, which represents a player's winning percentage for the last 50 games played. In addition to minimum ratings, we will now require minimum trend to play at the expert tables. The goal is to make the expert tables more exclusive for more skilled players and create an incentive for people who are still learning to play to eventually work up their rating and trend to qualify for these tables. We will monitor stats for the next couple weeks and see how this goes.
It would be nice if everyone was required to read the scoring on double pinochle! So many hold meld they should be passing to their partner to give themselves points instead of allowing their partner to score a double pinochle.
@Annie-189 @Annie, you sound just like me...lol. I don't know how many times I have written this up but I always address it to the players directly hoping the "@johndoe" feature of communicating via their registered email addresses works.
Please check out all my posts that I wrote in the Forum area I created call something like Communicating with players or something....lol
My usual player name is "MikeOxBig" but when I wrote this to you I currently had changed my name to "Pass Meld P" because of this issue and trying to tell them to send it!!!....LOL
I’m glad I’m not the only one bothered by this! I’ve gone as far as passing everything back hoping they might get the hint!😂😂
I think that all of the double deck pinochle game rules change to the same as it is with both computer versions...i.e.-must throw higher card if possible or unless trumped, must pull a save of 20 trick points, unless your meld is more than 20 from saving, then pull the difference. I don't want to play a hand and someone melds their entire hand, and play 2 aces of trump and they saved. Thats b.s., why play the rest of the hand? Its pointless. I would say 70% or more could never get 20 points if they had to, and about 40% of players just throw cards, no strategies, or they sit there and let computer play for them..that is b.s. as well
I was shocked at needing only two tricks. It's just a bidding game at that point, it isn't fun and really my biggest gripe with the r game
@Itdango-9838..agreed. theres a couple of players that play this way (right way) i guarantee the bidding up to such high extremes would end as well. Because they could never pull 20 with 30 loosers melded on the table
Please change rules on double deck!!! It will stop the insane bidding going on!! I had a 180 point hand, and another player bid up to 240, so i passed...he had 35 meld..that is b.s.
When I play with friends, you’re allowed one bid and one raise.
Can admin please block renigging?
@Tim-10524 how does one renig? The game only allows you to select from playable cards.
