What's so strange about that? The majority are probably bad players.

UI seems to be broken http://s15.postimg.org/p26vhk2p7/Screen_Shot_2014_10_07_at_9...

Thanks for the note and the screenshot. Should be fixed now.

Cool idea! I registered yesterday but today I can't login. The 'login with github' button doesn't do anything (just reloads the page). Also the leaderboard seems to breakdown if you interact with it for a bit - just stops updating.

Strange. It seems to all be working at the moment, but we'll try to squash more of the bugs today--please feel free to email contact@javascriptbattle.com if you're continuing to see problems.

Thanks for bearing with us!

Pretty awesome and good instructions on how to start! What would be nice to see when the next battle will start (probably localized) :-)

At the moment, the battles run a bit after midnight (PST) each day. Thanks for the feedback--we can make this a bit more obvious on the site.

Yep, it is "luck of the draw", and the default hero brain, while very good at gathering diamonds, does tend to be vulnerable to the "assassin" roles.

Eventually we'd like to add a slightly smarter matchmaking system (assign users to games based on some sort of performance ranking perhaps?), but for now it's very possible to end up on a less-than-stellar team.

Thanks for the heads up--it looks like we have an infrequent but recurring bug that's causing this issue. We're working on a more permanent fix for the very near future, but for now it should all be working again.

So - what happens is I get bounced through a few 302 redirects from github back to the page, but I remain not logged in. Then if I refresh the page it displays me as logged in then. Hope that helps. :)
