Yeah was just about to say you actually can win in two rounds depending on who starts. Just beat my mother in two rounds haha!
Was going to but I finished off with the word "we" to show her we will always be together. That sounds cheesy though.
Substantially fewer server issues in the last twelve hours, hopefully that sticks! I just had a game where the first three words played against me were fag, homo, and anus. I don't know if they just didn't like my flower customization, but I kind of wish the first two weren't in the game. It's a weird coincidence that they were able to put all three one after the other, but believe me the board allowed for many better words than those (he had to use almost all my letters to make them). Outside of that, really loving the game.
Sad In the plus side someone just played 'REBOOT' on me so I replied with 'AWFUL' Also some one mentioned their mum, I must send this to her!
You jinxed it...... Hopefully as the game gets more popular it will get increased server sizes. Also my mother is now addicted to the game. Edit: I had one life, it would load a new quick match so I clicked it a few times.....now I have 6 new matches after the servers did something and still have my life Feel like I ripped you off a bit Nimbebit
I can't play matches against anyone at the moment.... It just hangs and then comes back to a blank screen
Yeah thats what mine was doing. I then went back to the game screen to find I had games sitting there to be played.
I just threw away a game! Left open a really easy path to my castle and they took it! Felt so stupid!!
Everything should hopefully be running smooth now. Think you caught it in the middle up a server update, auto matching has been improved so it shouldn't produce weird game states and match you with players closer to your skill level.
A couple features that should be added are the ability to nudge a player that hasn't played their turn in a while and a chat function
I'm not convinced. I've had a couple of words that I would definitely expect to be allowed: QUORATE and WEEING.
How's the skill level determined? Is it only win / lose ratio? Is the number of finished games taken into consideration as well? What about average rounds per match? Also, when we can expect ingame chat?

Couple of questions.. Do you create a profile which can be used across multiple devices? Can you play against random opponents or is it friends only? What happens if someone doesn't respond with their turn?
We have actually been calculation an elo rating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system for every player on the server. So your rank is based off the rank of the other players you have won and lost to. We are now matching you with players closer to your rank. Average game is little under 7 rounds but that will probably go up with the auto match change. I have played games that have gone into 80+ rounds with both players losing their capitals multiple times so if you get evenly matched players it can go on for a while. The game has been out for less than a week so we are still shoring up some issues but chat is very near the top of the list of things to add. No timeline other than soon.
1) Yes. It uses your Game Centre profile so games are synced across all iPads and iPhones using that profile. 2) Random or friends. 3) After 7 days the game is forfeited.
