Re: [Rails-devel] features: SR autopass, add tile orientation to game report

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

There is already a feature request for autopass, although it might be more
directed to the initial private sales round. 
Anyway, adding whatever might emerge as a consensus (if any) to that request
might be useful.

If it ever gets implemented, I think there will not be any additional
buttons, but one or more checkbox(es) somewhere in the menu that can be set
to enable "autopass" in whatever shape or form. Valid for the current round
only, of course.

Erik.

Sure, it's something I've done and seen done in tabletop games.

But, looking forward to supporting live network play...  I'm not sure
it's a good feature to have.   We'll need to address the question of
whether or not to expose the information to other players, and then if
we choose to hide the info, there's never a guarantee that someone
hasn't patched their client to reveal the info... etc. etc.
