I see Jimmi online right now. Does that mean an update is coming?

Anyone figure out what the update was? My guess is fixing some of the recent issues - lobby chat, etc.

Thanks J. Good to see your post.

What is Face book?

And why is it a good time to join?

It's not some cult or anything?

Don't forget that you have an amazing very playable game as is. I hope you don't change it too much and then we have to figure out how to get it back to a playable level. The current version is extremely fun and addicting. Don't go overboard trying to improve it.

Careful on trying to change and "improve" many of the powers. Just my 2 cents. (For example, multiply works fine as it is.)

As I posted before:
This would be an amazing game, if Jimmi kept the same exact game, and added:
1. disconnects do not end game, so you can come back
2. build/design and play your own board

and maybe some one of these
3. Ability to watch others games,
or
4. 2-4 players / team games


Lastly, if you wanted a very grateful, excited community, why not make a temporary way for us to create our own boards (without designing a full fledged board editor). For example, what if we could enter in a string of 64 numbers (where 1=normal tile, 2=normal raised 1 level, 3=normal raised 2 levels, .... 6 = acid hole middle level, 7 = acid hole, raised 1 level, 8 = acid hole raised 2 levels, ...). And after you entered this the game would start with the custom board.

It would be pretty amazing to be able to design our own boards, even as we wait for a final QR version or a board editor feature to come out. This would put a lot of life into the QRmunity, and I even see some old timers coming back.[/b]

QFT. This is how The Price is Right in the US is now on life support: too much change too fast.

Either way, just flat-out awesome how Mr. Garfield supports this. It truly broke my heart seeing all the archives of raving press reviews about this game about to go to waste, and yet here we are on the right track again. :)

Loved the mancala pieces being used for orbs on the FB pic, btw.
