Player who goes first should be random!
-
I'm sure somebody else has already asked for this, but WOW:
the player who goes first should be random! Obviously the person who goes first has an advantage because they hit a double word score. As it is the person who joins your game or rematches you goes first; this is unfair.Thank you.
Come on people, let's keep asking for this until they fix it!

@zaph I heartily agree. You're right; people have been asking to have this fixed. I am now at a point where I will refuse a rematch request if the other player went first in the previous game. First play should alternate between two players, regardless of who requested the game!
-
@thatguythere202 I agree, too, at least with consecutive games. With a few regular opps, we have an agreement to alternate.
-
@mapmakere why not just start a movement to talk to your op and suggest whoever goes first that game goes second next time?

@betterlate1-0 It's probably because you reached a certain downvote threshold from before they removed that feature, and your account has become a bit more limited as a result ie your posts don't show up immediately, need approval etc. Maybe you could login using another method such as Facebook or Google.

@dan-mitchell downvotes had nothing to do with me..notice how many read the posts yet they cant downvote. It is their idea of fun..but fact is there is no reason this should happen. thanks for trying to help
-
@dan-mitchell said it wrong..of course something to do with me..downvoted because they would have not downvoted anyone else, harassment been going on for years and they always come out like lilies while i get the blame. So yes my fault, I breath.

It is not just that the first player has a double word, but if they have an eight-tile bingo in their rack they are pretty much guaranteed a three-figure score, which is hard to come back from. I have played the vast majority of my games with an old friend, and we developed the rule that whoever plays last in the previous game goes first in the rematch.
What prompted me to write, though, was that I have begun to reply to hosted games, where by default I go first. On two of the three games I started with a bingo, one seven letter, one eight. On both occasions the host immediately deleted the game and one blocked me. I guess in future I should just underplay my rack if I am lucky enough to get some good tiles to start.
