No, not at all what I meant. When choosing a leader, the player can explicitly choose "Random", no problem. The bug comes up when the player hasn't *finished* choosing a leader; at that point, from the perspective of the host (and other players who have finished choosing a leader), the player's leader still shows up as "Random" rather than something like "Choosing a leader", and the host can proceed at that point without waiting for the player to finish choosing. If the host does so, then the player will get to finish choosing a leader, at which point they get thrown directly into the game with a random leader (*not* the one they chose). So, not complaining at all about the ability to choose "Random"; complaining about a situation that can end up giving a player "Random" when they didn't want that. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
