Anon games vs. order status

#1 Post by DougJoe » Fri Feb 14, 2025 4:41 pm

Is there a particular reason/rationale for anonymous games also showing the order status as a lock icon instead of the exclams/checkmarks?

It's certainly an edge case, but if you suspect Player X is a player known to you and that player is in other WebDip games at the same time, you could try to infer their identity based by comparing the timing of "last seen", "save", and "ready" actions to their other games.

Ah, good point. I figured it was something like that but couldn't find the edge case. Thanks!
