Hear, hear. This feature is one of the last remaining bits needed to make the new Lexulous work as well as the old site (with all the bells and whistles that have been added). We all know change is difficult, but by now this new place is feeling a lot like home! Just please give us the ability to accept or reject players from our tables... tyvm

Many thanks to the Lexulous team for all the hard work, and the improvements in New Lexulous that have become apparent in the past few weeks. Here is something that I think many players would like to see implemented: The ability to accept or reject players who come to one's table. (This was a feature of the old Lexulous, but these days it seems as if, when you set a table, you are obliged either to play anyone who joins it or else delete the game.) If it ends up not being possible to accept-or-reject, how about bulking up Censor so that people whom one has censored can't join one's game? As far as I can see, at present they are able to do so. Thanks again...

@betterlate1-0 Indeed, this happened overnight. Personally I don't really feel the need for these tabs but perhaps some do. How about adding one for "I strongly suspect you have an anagram program running in the background" .... since that seems to be an oft-expressed sentiment in these games!

@jrp32 yes. I chose the "olive" avatar and yet I think I show up as a microphone.

@dan-mitchell I agree. If you know the other player is passing, it will affect your own strategy. Three passes per player is the correct way to do it.

@scantron I'd very much like to see this option added, too! people keep inviting me to games and I keep rejecting them because I don't want one that is either too slow or too fast.

@betterlate1-0 emojis seem still to be there, I just made one!

@mapmakere it's very easy to miss because (as far as I can see anyway), at the end of the game the chat box swaps out for the dictionary and you see a definition of the final word. but the chat box is still there, if you click the tab.

@pangloss Seems as if this is now enabled. Either my settings stuck after I turned sound on, or "On" is now the default. Thanks Lexulous team!

@lexulous I have not seen a clock setting in any game invitations today... just letting you know.

@sakamvari saying the tile distribution is "randomly chosen" makes it seem as if you have not understood the original complaint. The letters that each player receives during the game may be random, but that isn't what the complaint is about. It's the actual number of letters in the basket (or the bag, or the pot, or whatever you call it: where all the letters come from). Proportionally it seems as if the game always has too many I's. (apologies if I have misunderstood the complaint myself!)

@jrp32 so... ZE is apparently acceptable in the UK list at the moment (but not in the US list)? Thanks, that adds to my list of reasons for preferring US... although the US list also has its problems (what makes "ok") an acceptable word, for instance!?).

@jrp32 I do get this experience (hanging on rematch), but less than half the time. Usually it works OK, though I still think they haven't fixed the thing where the person who requests the rematch is always the first to move in the new game.
I've been guessing that the times it "hangs" involve opponents who are playing via the mobile app, or possibly people who left before they could receive my request? Maybe not. Maybe it's just broken.

@jrp32 Over the past several weeks people have been noticing little "tweaks" like this added to the New Lexulous... sometimes it takes a while to figure out how everything works in here. Dan Mitchell (whatever his player name is) has been one of the helpful ones! That score predictor (which Dan calls tooltip) feels like it appeared, I don't know, a couple of months ago?

@dan-mitchell Yes, this is what I have been assuming. On X out of Y turns, you played the "highest possible" scoring move that many times. I often get only a 1 or a 2, or even 0, on that, because I try to be strategic with my letter placement and the timer, and not just play for the highest number of points each move.

@scantron Same happens to me. But I've been figuring that it happens a lot towards the end because that is when people are trying to play lickety-split and the faint tone goes unnoticed. I have lost numerous games that way (but I've won a few too...)

@scantron Dan's player ID is in.cog.ni.to

@dan-mitchell I've observed the same thing. Sometimes the button lags before turning green, sometimes it never does even when the word is indisputable.

@majorwordster It seems unlikely! Now there have been times when I faced opponents who accused me of "cheating" because they thought I had some kind of hack that would cause them to get bad letters or something. (yes, I have faced this accusation before, believe it or not)... But I don't think a program you have running in the background is likely to be reaching out into the clutches of their device. That said, I have sometimes seemed to observe that if my own system was lagging that could slow their own game's response time, which I assumed was because every move had to be confirmed on my own computer, and on the server, and on the opponent's end, before play could proceed (but I really have no idea of whether this was what was going on). No clue what happened in your opponent's case!

@aladdin-sane I didn't "reset" per se, but when Lex moved to the new environment I had difficulty logging on so I had to create a whole new identity. My ratings/stats since then seem to be better, though this could be partly because I was a bit of an early adopter and many other players are still getting used to the new play environment ... and partly because I have set my "slider" to accept a more limited group of opponents. I did have to start all over again at the lower rating level, but it has gone fairly well since then. Not sure if this is helpful or not, but that's my experience!
