Don't forgot 10. Hope it doesn't crash! 

And how about 11. How to resume a game after it crashes. 

[BasiliskFang]

Not quite sure what you are saying here. Are you asking if you should consider posting things that increase the likelihood of the game crashing? If so, that is a good idea.

[BasiliskFang]

exactly.

for one, i know that removing hits from the permanent record that aren't hits may cause a crash. playing artifacts somehow too.

[Nate Grey]

I know I always seem to cause crashes when I intend to defend an attack by shifting.  I forget what's the best way to go about that.

[steve2275]

tell your opponent you wanna shift
let the hit  hit
then move the hit(if it hit) to the shiftee and discard the shift special

[CoS]

do you guys see the screen shots used? how you can't see the reserve hero and the defeated mission pile... THAT is what my screen looks like. OPonline does not have a scroll function so the program is unplayable for me. (you can't play OP without access to the reserve hero and the defeated missions, unless you are VERY VERY good/lucky)

Do you need to take the hit? Can you simply block and then discard the shift special after you announce to your opponent your intention to shift?

ok, this is because i am using a TV as a monitor at 1216x684 instead of 1280x720p. I can still click the reserve hero and the defeated mission pile.

So do you think having CoS adjust his monitor settings will give him the full play screen?
