Getting them tokenized and spiffed up a bit would be a higher priority.&lt;BR/&gt;For example: &lt;BR/&gt;Give all timed games a pause button (you can blank out the screen while paused so no advantage gained) - sometimes the phone rings or the kid cries or the dog needs out - when it's the best score you ever had!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;More multi-player games would be great, eg Hearts, Scrabble, Canasta.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Different puzzle cuts for the jigsaw would be good - the current regulars could do a totally white puzzle in the same amount of time because they know where the pieces go.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Does "pervasive forum" mean Chat in games?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Making the games more memory efficient and self-erasing on exit would help a lot too.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You had a forum post a while ago for picking the best toad picture for the new TG - maybe you can use them all in different themed games.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have played at other pay-sites and believe me charging does not "keep out the riff-raff" or bot users.  Good Luck with coding for these things and while you're at it disallow duplicate names for the same person unless they want to pay for them. (wink)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;How do you have multi-player offline games?  Seems like an oxy-moron.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for putting in all the effort, it is appreciated.&lt;BR/&gt;If you need testers for the new stuff I'd be happy to help - just put up a forum sticky "Testers Wanted".</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8881312543743895306/1658751712346313751/comments/default/5931922036232817849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8881312543743895306/1658751712346313751/comments/default/5931922036232817849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://toadgames.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-everybody-knows-your-name.html?showComment=1216877820000#c5931922036232817849' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://toadgames.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-everybody-knows-your-name.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881312543743895306.post-1658751712346313751' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8881312543743895306/posts/default/1658751712346313751' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
