around Feb 3rd. Typically we wouldn't change something like this during a set (other servers will change as they restart), but this round of ffa started recently and the new system should make it much easier for ffa players to use their bonus points.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm missing not being able to get 8 extra turns. Especially because this is a turn based game. :P

not sure if its just my browser or if anyone else is effected by this but now that you added "bonus" to the links I cant see the "control" option anymore unless I shrink the screen to under 100% which makes the font a little too small for my liking.

Does that fix it?

We also changed it around a little bit to make it more obvious what to type in the boxes.

Thanks for the good work, Slagpit and other admins.

Everyone with complaints, just remember, everyone's playing with the same bonuses, it's not like you're the only one who things changed for.
