That already exists. To view all messages so far in the game, just navigate back through the moves in the game using the << < > >> buttons. The messages associated with each move will be displayed.

Hmm, so you are thinking there should be a "recently completed games" section on the main turn-based screen? Instead of looking up the game in the messages area or clicking the "view my completed games" button?

Looks like I am getting off easy on zoeyk's list. I have 1030 total games played, but I am only getting charged for my 476 pente games. I guess connect6 and poof is free! Sure, I can pledge $23. Oh heck, I might as well round it up to a cool $25. LOL. I will be sure to settle up after I get back from vacation in a couple weeks. I want to see that donation meter skyrocket when I get back.

You should make it so that players who donate could like play rated games against the computers, or they get some sort of cool ability. If you look at other games that offer new things for donating, most of them make some sort of cool new feature available for players who donate money.

there are cool features here. You get to upload a picture that goes in your profile and whenever you make a post, and you can set your name a color in the game room

Usually, they make other features available, like rated computer players, or for other examples:

1. Runescape gives it's members (people who donate money 5$ a month) much, much more to do, such as new skills and so on.

That was just an example.

runescape is also HUGE and the creators are supported by the website. This website is more 'give-as-you-want' and you will be given a token of thanks

don't take my ideas as the ideas of all I'm sure someone will have a different opinion. I just wanted to make it clear that this site is open to anyone whether they want to pay or not

Yep, that is true. I wish that there were some computer players that would play rated games with people.

as demonstrated by the above post, zoey has far, far too much time on his hands.



It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

Thanks again to all the donors!

I have started to implement the changes requested and wanted to give you an update.

1. a way to block invites (both turn-based and live) from players. as far as having to boot a player repeatedly from a table.
Ban of 5 minutes implemented upon booting from table. Blocking invites not started yet.

2. admin ability to boot player from server for X minutes.
Code is up and running, be good or we'll boot you

3. admin ability to deactivate player (i just fix need to fix the bugs)
Fixed

4. a way for users to report instances of abuse to admins.
not started yet
5. an option to block chat messages from a player.
not started yet

Additionally I've done a little work on the invite popup window. I've limited it so that a player can send you one invite at a time (per table, and once the invite is accepted/declined another invitation can be sent). So this should limit the "invite spamming" until blocking them is implemented. I've also made the invite popup be its own window that can be minimized. I did this so it is more visible, it will hopefully show up in front of all windows better now and will have an entry in the task bar, so it will be harder to miss.

As far as the money goes, those who have offered to contribute, feel free to pay now, or wait until all features are implemented. Whatever you want. If you aren't happy with how it turns out, don't pay. I don't want this to become about money, its about Pente
