Thanks!

I agree, that way you can pace yourself - knowing whether you are in the lead or not. You don't want to gain your last ladybug if you're behind.

Looks like they made a post about this a few hours ago in the group.

Thank you for your efforts to ask them and to implement this much. It is appreciated.

I don't really agree with their slowdown argument - we do have time limits on BGA, but it's their game so we must respect that.

While this is understandable for real time games, what about turn based games? In these games, I don't think you'd feel the slowdown if someone does that. On the other hand, having to redo score calculations by hand every time it's my turn on a table feels pretty bad. In the end it's just a matter of gaining time. I won't end games I'm losing, no matter what.
