Ok, I got a question as well.
Is it so that most people here are European?
I just ask because when I play late in the evening, around this time (23 - 00 o clock), that occasionally people play in a kind of sleepy way. Anybody else notice that? So I came to assume it’s just other people playing a late evening game.

There are other posts here about flags chosen (which is not so reliable datas for citizenship) you can find with a search. a short majority are American, followed by European. Much less are others. (My memory on it)

A very tiny feature that I don’t understand.

When I challenge someone on OGS, the form recalls previous settings, including the game name.
If I want to keep them unchanged I only have to push the “Send challenge” button.

Same happens if I go to the “Play” page and create a custom challenge: all previous settings are there, including game name for last created challenge.

Otherwise, if I click the “Rematch” button from a finished game, the game name is blank.
Why is that?

I guess the system remembers your last settings in those first two contexts, since you are creating a game from scratch, and it offers your last setting as a quick convenience.

When you click rematch, I think it copies the various settings from that game, which may be different than the last settings that you used for creating a new game. Since it is not copying the rest of your previous new game settings, that includes not copying the name setting as well.

I guess it makes sense not to copy the name of the game where the rematch is being generated from, since the name of that game might happen to suggest a tournament or ladder game, whereas the rematch would be a separate thing independent of those competitions.

I guess many people just use “friendly game” or something, but the title would make sense to be blank for each new game.

More than once I’ve played a random game with a tournament game title by mistake.

Can be empty by default, with a tick to make your naming persistent.

A blank name comes out as “friendly game” in your own language (from settings).

That makes sense.
My experience is different though, since I (try to) use meaningful titles and wish to use same title with same opponent.
As an example, recently I feel tired and nervous and I like to play weak bots just to entertain myself without too much engagement. I like to call those games “Relax” and would like to have them with just one click (top of laziness :grin:).
