    Had a thought on a suggestion on league games and avoiding making your move when you will lose.

    Make it so league games you have to play them in order of the longest move ago. That way you can't just keep playing new games and avoid a game for a week. So if you are going to lose a game, only way to avoid it is not to play any other league games.

    Hope this gets seen! Think it would help a lot with this issue.

    It does work.mAll you have to do is click on that link on a iOS device with Outwitters installed. It'll jump to the app and load the replay ;)

    Yeah, I thought that's how it'd work. Expecting some kind of third-party video library was hoping for too much xP. Thanks for the info.

    That is a good idea, because that pisses me off, when I am about to win, most users never make a move anymore, how sad are they? They been defeated so many times in life that the are scared to loose again? Come on, man up!

    I too have a 4s and everytime I try to re-enter a game, it crashes. I've reset my phone, taken it out of multi-tasking and re-installed the app, none of which have worked.

    Hopefully this gets fixed soon because I'd love to play!

    Yes, a good idea. You should not be allowed to start a new game if it's your turn in another game. Or you should not be allowed to make a move in any game until you make the move in the game where you have been waiting the longest. Basically, you would have to play them in order.
    Do this and add a five minute per turn or 10 minutes per turn mode. Maybe a one hour turn is more reasonable I don't know. That's for them to figure out i guess.

    Another glitch I'm experiencing is when I go to games no games show up in the list. I have to reboot the game and hope they show up. So far that, random crashes and notification problems are the only obvious glitches.

    Notifications doesn't work for me on my 3GS :(

    Edit: something is broken with in game chat i guess.. I can't see my 2 messages i wrote. After writting they were there... In chat, but after opening chat next time they're gone. That may be because i pressed OK instead of Send..
    And for third time its there but it says it was written more then week ago

    Just had an idea.

    What if, your list of games was broken into 3 categories: Current games, wins, loses, kind of like it is right now. These would be broken into pages, which would scroll left or right. So as soon as you load up Outwitters, you'll see your current games, but if you scroll to the right you can see your wins, then scroll again to see loses. This way it doesn't clutter up the main page, and it looks nicer overall (while still keeping the games for replays). Just a thought.

    I like that you can take your time, what pisses me off is for them waiting forever to die... maybe they bury the game into oblivion with other games they are winning, don't know.

    The idea I like is this one: "you should not be allowed to make a move in any game until you make the move in the game where you have been waiting the longest".

    I think this a great idea and very fair, it would prevent people from delaying losing efforts unless they don't want to play any other matches.

    On that regard, I think 7 days is too long, maybe 3 is fair.

    I would say 1-2 days would be a good maximum. Games could still drag on for a while no matter what, but I shouldn't fear receiving a turn while I'm asleep and forfeit overnight, hah.

    I think 4 is more reasonable, after all, you have 96 hours to finish a game

    I'm pretty sure the devs read the touch arcade forums. I could be wrong though. Hopefully they check this out and think some of our ideas are worthwhile.

    Hello people. I've been loving the game so far, my only major complaint would be that often I would want to play in a long sitting, but many players seem to embrace the pick-up and play style. That's great, but it would be awesome to have a mode where you get maybe, 3-5 minutes per turn. Maybe as a new match type, or as a match setting? I'm not sure if it's any better playing with friend via GC (mine all have androids xP) If any of you wanna play, hit me up on gamcentre. My alias is Ae-Chaa. But remember, I'm a newb! :p

    Why is the file size so big? Was it not compressed correctly?
    Or is this a retina-display iPad issue?
