June 1 Update
Posted By: Ryan at 10:48 AM, Sunday June 1, 2008 EDT
After a nearly 24 hr coding session I've got a new code base uploaded to the servers. The majority of these changes are meant to bring better community and social networking on the non-game half of the site.
Player Notes are now called Reviews and you are limited to having only one review per player. If you submit another review it will overwrite the first. Anybody can post a review. These aim to act as a reputation system.
Comments are back! Yes, now if you are someone's friend you can post a comment on their wall. You'll notice new sections in the profile page for reviews and wall comments. Friends can post as many wall comments as they'd like.
Friends have changed a little too. You can add any player as a friend giving them access to your wall and letting you track them at the tables. Adding a friend will send a request to that player to add you.
You should also notice this new blog. The other blog was too far away to maintain properly. This blog will have posts on the front of the forum Also Advisors (the old moderators) can post blog entries too.
Finally you'll notice a new preferences dialog at the tables. This is an amalgamation of all the options. You can change your settings including sound and whether you want your stars displayed. You can add/remove friends. And last but not least, you can edit your profile information. Yes, profile info is back including country flags!
With all this new stuff and little testing there are bound to be some bugs. If you bump into some post them as a comment to this post.
Hope you like the update. See you at the tables.

at 2:41 PM, Monday June 23, 2008 EDT I think there needs to be a better way for low-point players to gain points faster- coming to a 0 point table and seeing someone with 75k points is a huge deterrent when you're only gaining 32 points a sketch... there need to be high-gain, high-risk tables for everyone, so there's more of an emphasis on getting more guesses and less of an emphasis on just spending all your time here. I think that would help with new player retention- right now it's just too daunting a task to even consider getting enough points to challenge the leaderboard.
