Meaning of icons, colors, numbers

Post by Jæja »

I was wondering about all the icons, colors and numbers that appear next to a player's alias. Perhaps there's a legend somewhere?

- In the player overview (on the right, next to the game list), you see general information (strength, wins, losses, etc.) but also Lite and Plus. What are these?
- Once you start playing, there's an icon that looks like a thumbs up, which is sometimes colored and/or has a number in it. What is the meaning of this?
- I'm also wondering how bots can be recognized.

Thanks! :bow:

There is few information on tygem's how to play guide:
i suppose "lite" and "plus" are priced services,
but not accessible with english client.
There is also a manner badge than you can receive after a game when
your opponent is satisfied with your manners.
I think the more you receive these badges the more the number after the thumb rises.(and the colour changes...)

Thanks for your reply, shinseon! Do you also happen to know how bots can be recognized?

Ah yes, normally the bot's profile picture represents a robot,
but it is a long time i haven't seen any robot playing on tygem (i have played just once a robot before ^^)

I'd help, but I can't run wine on my mac right now since that darn Catalina update, which takes away support for 32 bit apps... So no Tygem for me for a little while.

If you have screenshots of stuff you're curious about, I can translate them.

FWIW, lite and plus are paid services, as has been noted. I had the lite service for a little while, and it had a few extra features.

There's a workaround: Crossover has support for 32-bit apps and I'm running Tygem in it under macOS. They use Wine, but have a fix for the problem that they haven't released publicly. It's a paid app, but as always, there are ways around it...

Thanks for the offer! I'm running the English version of the client. The things I don't understand are the mentioned icons (not Korean symbols).
