Something is set wrong for Dungeon 2v2v2v2 games.

The teams should be 1 person in a cell and 1 person out of it.

See

in particular.

I know it has something to do with the "assigning colors to seats" setting or something like that.  Can someone who understands what needs to be changed look and post here so that Yertle or Tom can make the fix?

I think Nikolai is right in that you can choose both your Color and Team...which seems to "break" the setup.  Possibly if the setting "Allow players to choose seats" is changed from Seats to None it would work?  (Although I'm not sure that this new or would have been broke recently...) Thoughts?

I have to admit I don't have a strong handle on those settings - I usually end up playing with them until the board works.

Yertle - would you mind making the change and inviting some people to a private game to test it out?  I am sure the people in that terminated game will help out -

This one started ok

I'd be happy to join a test of that map. It's one of my favorites.

i think this has happened before.
ed nygma either did not fix it or it might be a bug.
i know e.n. does not frequent the sight much and it might not have been a priority for him.

I just made the change to where Players are no longer able to choose their Color.  I believe this would force it to always initialize correctly (although of course removing the ability to pick your color)...if that doesn't work then we can outline the intended/expected flows more and see if we can find the correct settings.

If someone wants to start a game, I'd be happy to join, otherwise I'll try and put one together later tonight.

Here's a game -

FYI, this test also didn't work: http://www.wargear.net/games/view/349512

I have now updated the Rule "Lock order in which seats take turns" to be On.  Will require starting another game for testing :)

I compared the Dungeon 2v2v2v2 scenario with the Walking Dead board.  The difference I found was in the last setting "Allow Players to Choose Seats"  Walking Dead has "seats" Dungeon has "none".   That may be the one to change.

So the first thing I tried was to change that from Seats to None...as the thought was that may throw off the initialization.  Using The Walking Dead as a template is a good idea, so I've changed that back to Seats (which really means you can choose your Color which is then tied to the Seat), then I have left the change of "Lock order in which seats take turns" to On, which is different than it previously was and match TWD.

I'd say let's give that a shot.

Alright - started a private game - we'll see what happens
