Player Color - Switch Orange with Cyan

maniacmath17 · Post by **maniacmath17** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 11:08 pm

I've noticed that player #5 is always a cyan/turquoise type color. I've always found it easier to refer to people by their color for that particular game. I'll say something like "hey blue, I believe it would be convenient for both of us if we moved our brazil/n. africa troops elsewhere."

I can't seem to do that with player #5, because they may not know their colors well enough to know that im talking to them when i refer to them as "cyan". Maybe change player #5 to orange or something?

Now I'm not sure how many people agree with me on this but I figured I'd throw it out there. Thank you for your time.

i usually refer to that certain color as light blue. most people know what that means

Well I try to stay away from using the word blue as part of the color since there is already a blue, and as for teal, I didn't even know what kinda color that was till now. lol. Just figured there could be a simpler color out there that is more easily identified.

By the way, I can only think of one name for orange

Well I suppose if teal is what that color is commonly refered to, then i could try it. But I'd still prefer orange (plus its my favorite color

)

yeah but with red, pink and orange all on the board... it could get kinda tricky to tell them apart

Couldn't be that hard to tell. Maybe something like the orange that is on brazil at the CC main page (if you like visuals)

this girl i know insisted that certain color is magenta. i said "wtf are you talking about? it's cyan." she said "well i have a $100,000 art school degree, i should know. it's magenta". even the two other people i was with sided with her. i just shrugged, said "ok whatever" and told them to google cyan so they could feel like dumbasses the next day.

anyways.. i think it's different enough from blue. orange would be too close to red and yellow. if you switched cyan to orange i bet someone would start complaining "why are there two red color teams. it's really confusing."

Isn't magenta a pinkish color?

Oh and just go by their name's

2006-07-11 02:33:30 - JohnCates: OK blue, you and me both lose I guess
2006-07-11 11:08:28 - mattywuh: yeah... thinking so.
2006-07-11 15:03:03 - Charbroil: eh, I fail to see how
2006-07-11 15:15:42 - JohnCates: we will see ... lol, we wasted alot of armies on each other
2006-07-11 18:08:49 - mattywuh: oh - ok thought you meant me!!!

It would probably make more sense if you saw the colors, its from game 41277.

Anyways, I think this one misunderstanding is enough to warrant a change in the color scheme.

you can always use their names too if the colors are too confusing for ya.

I had a problem with one of the maps, i tried to attack alaska to north africa and it didnt work. I think this one problem is enough to warrant a fix, can i get an arrow edited in there please?

ofcourse i could use their names, but that would require looking at the board to identify the color of the person i wish to contact, then looking at the list of players and finding the player name that matches that color, then figuring out an appropriate abbreviation for that players name.

Thats a lotta work for me
