    Still haven't been able to even finish one game yet. Just a bunch of open games, and waiting for the other player to make a move.

    High five crex! Just won my first 2v2. Pretty fun stuff. Forces you to plan with your partner. My gf beat me in a pass-and-play game earlier after losing 7 in the past few days, damn.

    Yeah the 7 days is way too long.. Especially since you can't "give up" on a game when it's not your turn!

    I think there could be something like, after 7 days the game ends and you win like now, with the addition that after ONE day if the other person doesn't move you have the option to declare victory or keep waiting.

    I also think you should be able to "give up" at any time for a loss. At least in the practice/unrated section, where who cares, I'd rather just have the slot free if they're obviously not coming back.

    Looks like someone has reached the Titan tier! Go under news, and click the link. First replay I've watched. He had 39 league wins when he was promoted, dang..

    The ranked league games should force people to take a move atleast once a day (not once a week) as I've got loads of games on the go and people just arnt playing =(
    And they could well be people who downloaded it for free and started a game then deleted it and I have to wait?

    So far I'm loving the game but the waiting for 2,3 even 4 days for someone to move is killing it for me.

    This is a good game but the players are frustrating. I have quite a few games lined up where I just need to apply the killing blow......but will they take thier turn? Not a chance :(

    I will have to seek out games with other TA members.....though I will probably have my arse handed to me.

    It was like that in Hero Academy's first 2 weeks and then again after new press. It dies down eventually. Its not "I dont want to lose" its "I dont suck, I'm awesome, therefore this game must be what sucks so I'll play something else".

    It should be better once you get placed in a League, particularly if you get placed in a higher League.

    I really want to try this game online, but for some reason it won't connect to game center. Its not an internet problem, because I've been playing a lot of SW on GC lately. Anyone have any ideas?

    "No luck" is a big minus for me. :mad:

    Hey guys, how do you set up a link to one of your replays? Pretty awesome feature and I love that they just posted one in the news. By the way the news section is a great idea, love it!

    Tap and hold the finished game, it will then ask if you want to copy the link

    So I'm at the limet of 20 games now. I had no intention of playing that many but people just won't take their turn. On most of the games I am clearly winning, a good number just need one turn to complete.

    It's a big issue. I started playing Friday, so I have the best part of a week before I can play again.....That's unless I start to play something else in the meantime.

    If not I will definately buy the uber pack as this game is really rather good...it's just this one thing.

    With 5 or 6 maps, and so many different possibilities, the positions get just as scrambled as if there was luck. Moreover, with the ability to make 5+ moves a turn, its often impossible to calculate the future with precision . . . the exact shape of things is often a surprise. It doesnt feel like chess.

    I am starting to think I like it better than Hero Academy, although in all honesty it could just be that I like stomping noobs.

    I've put together a little website where we can try to find players that want to play this more real-time!

    http://playoutwitters.wordpress.com

    Please do post your GC names in the time zone page that interests you and help spread the word!

    Hopefully we can get some nice fast games going.

    I've had a few arranged games where we are back to each other in a few minutes and it's really good fun!

    Any comments on the site would be appreciated... do you think it will work?

    I envisage we can use it for other things like arranging tourneys, posting articles on strategy, arranging teams or whatever, but it's main reason for being is to get some games going (friendly or league I guess).

    If you can think of any tools I should add I'd love to hear it :)
