Is it that whenever I start a RACE comp just a tad late cuz I didn't see the game started it never gives me the extra minute to finish. I started the comp with 98 seconds left and it was a 90 second comp and still I didn't get credit for it and we were eliminated :(

is more dramatic about their elimination scores being low and then beating you more than Rain. :) good job girl

Can someone explain what the starfall update was? To me its the exact same problem as before, just with more stars. Am I missing something?

Can’t seem to catch a break in race today. This has continued. 8th, 10th, 10th, 8th. Twice got partners who are new and my scores weren't amazing to make up for it, and then twice got good partners and we flopped luck comps. ALSO just lost an arena with an 80 in code and it was a tie and of course algo kicks me. What is going on today for real.

Successful premade dismantle. https://kovaze.com/arena/9235 I won 7 eliminations and survived 2 purges. Got the win with a perfect Guitar score and thankfully Sophie had the glitch that didn't give her that last 10 points.

Did y'all all get jobs at the same time, or? Why are games taking so long to fill today. My one slow day at work and no one is here to play. :(

When did the Hysteria die down for Hysteria? Been waiting for like an hour and only 5 people have joined.

Someone mentioned you can change the setting so the alert bell makes a noise? Basically I want to be notified when my games start with sound is that possible?

Won either Every POV or the elimination every round and man it was really satisfying. First set I had to beat an 11,000 in chain and I got 11,400 and never looked back.

How did that hysteria game just fill in .2 seconds?

I finally won my own format! #VengeanceArena 1st Goomybear 2nd Connor 3rd Medusaluh 4th Babygirl91 5th Idolize 6th MarieEve 7th DrewmeliaBedelia 8th Tombraider 9th Venharim 10th Mary 11th Jennamugs Thanks all for playing it and actually spearheading it at the start while I was finishing up my Race game. I didn’t even have to suggest the format, and it caught on so it makes me really happy! 😊

https://kovaze.com/arena/8781 The scores in this ARENA were insane. For it to be weakest link and for me to get to final 4 I was shook. At final 6 10,200 in chain was bottom 2. I was actually worried my 12k was bottom 2. And not like the “oh I flopped” but you end up being extremely safe…. I was actually close to bottom with that score had I not gotten my last long chain at the end. I was also one spot away from being bottom 2 in flags with a 2850 at final 10.

In the last day I have been playing Arena following the format we all agree to play all game only to have people decide to change it at final 5 or final 4 because it doesn't suit them so they can put me up in a set that I will lose in. I don't mind losing, but both times I should have been safe based on the format and both times I went in and went home. I just think its really shitty to follow a format all game only to have people change their minds near the end.

Thanks to these folks who Beta tested the new format idea I had. 1st Frost 2nd Goomybear 3rd Imperio 4th Idolize 5th Gmail 6th TateMcRae 7th High 8th Jake 9th Jarhead 10th Nenalala 11th SummerMariah Basically the format is simple. First set normal. After that it looks like this. POV: chooses one player everyone MUST put in their set. Second nominee is chosen by the house, meaning everyone can still politic on who that second player is going to be. No special Purge rules, purges could just end up saving potential nominees. ChatGPT told me to call this format #Throwdown and I like it. Miss me with other colors of Beaver ideas.

I know a lot of folks have been liking Vengeance, but I also know it isn't perfect. I have another idea to make a format for normal games and would love to get some feedback. First set normal vote. Every other round: POV: chooses one player everyone MUST put in their set. Second nominee is chosen by the house, meaning everyone can still politic on who that second player is going to be. This way purge doesn't influence anything really other than saving folks who may have been going into elim. Also the POV still has a great amount of power and doesn't necessary get targeted by the elimination winner unless the person who they put directly in not only wins the elimination but also POV. It wouldn't be as dramatic as Vengeance can be, but it could open the door to a different layer of strategy. Let me know what we think! If this does catch on too, I would love it if Vengeance stays in the rotation as well as Golden Beaver.

After a few days away due to some pretty intense personal life challenges, I finally can play a few games again. Happy Friday!

To @Xakim for winning 3 games of Vengeance, getting entered into the gift draft 3X, getting selected, and then winning the poll! You have earned a gift from Goomybear! https://kovaze.com/blog/52025 Please send me what you want from the shops and I will buy it for you! #VengeanceArena

Thank you so much to all the players who have participated in this format! I kept track of the winners so far (the best I could I didn't play in all the games of this format) and I entered them all into a drawing. In order to avoid speculation that I just handpicked a winner I drew 4 names and will now allow the public to vote on who I should gift. The winner will get to pick anything they want from any shop and I will buy it for them! I will close the poll some time tomorrow so get your votes in, and go GET YOUR VENGEANCE! The names eligible were: Skinny ivan1234 Daleariel Glaceon Cristi @Xakim (X3) Medusaluh Pizza Drj75 Saint_Sally

One thing I do miss from TG was the game summaries that populated that stayed fixed on the front page of the game. It would be particularly cool in arena. Something Like Round 1: House voted X and Y into the arena, X won Flags with a score of 2800 Round 2: POV A, House voted B and C into the arena, C won Holey with a score of 7800 etc....

Congrats to Xakim the first two time winner of this format. He will get another entry in the gift drawing. 1st @Xakim 2nd Goomybear 3rd TombRaider 4th Daze 5th JACK_O_Lantern 6th Hare 7th Chazz 8th Spyder 9th Opulence 10th Malibu 11th Pistachio I cannot seem to get a win with this format, but I'm happy to keep trying and I really have been enjoying it! I do feel it is harder to win than other formats because the other formats have prevented tougher eliminations. This really forces you into elims you have a much higher chance of losing. Thanks again for those who have tried it out! :)
