My request would be to switch the Main room with the Main/Registered room to be on the top in the multiplayer lobby. Everyone goes into the Main room because it is the top item on the list. By switching it would make more anon's register. Just a thought.

This was already thought of by Brian, and was executed. The results were not as expected: people still went to the main, and still nobody went to the registered room. It then got switched back a couple of days later.

I may get rid of anon players in the next update. That would mean all players must register.

So scottlu are you considering the kick button?
I hope not :-/

try to make it simpler for the anons to register like in stead of coming to the web sight might help? Or make the singleplayer section free and they would have to pay for the muiltyplayer Of course the singleplayer section would not be able to download the add on maps.(some one probley had said it before or you though of it. But maybe it's time to go through with it since theirs no more anons.)

Good ideas wonderer but what do you mean by the above sentence - why would it only make sense to do that if there are no anons?

There is nothing wrong with the kick function, your worries are impractical because people would only kick unwanted players from their game. So if the want to play only with anons, or only registered, or only with their friends, the kick button would help everyone out.

Well if you give the single player mod as a free app maybe they would get hooked on it and bye this game.

From what I did an other friends when we all got our itouches at different time we all downloaded alot of apps that where free we didn't downloaded games or apps that cost $
but we all told each other which game/app was the best and we started branching out and bye games then we spread the word.
The single player section would get people hooked to bye the full version of the game.


Inow all the anons are not old players some are new but they still play as anon if they could register before they have the opition of being an anon then it might cut down some anon players. Which would give older players getting more points and befriending new players. It's hard to be nice to an anon when they could be some you don't agree with. Some the new players I try my hardest to be nice too some of my Bosses where new to this game and I asked them to be a Boss with me.

(sum it up ^^^)(make new player register before they have the opition to be an anon)(let the singleplayer be a free app and muitlyplayers they have to pay to play.hopefully bye new itouch people they like it they well bye this game.

Brian it's true what you said about kick button but I see it in a different point of view me.

I told you before brain you could beat me all day and I hate it but it's true. But that kick button would give me a better chance of you not taking my points since I now 98% of the time you would win on a 2vs2 or what ever kinda of map. That's why I disslike the (kick option) and the (point blocker)

no worries I well never kick a single player/anon out but I would cancel the game

I was talking with some of the anons today and they said that they registered but the confirmation was never received. So what I'm getting at is, some anons might be registered but still unable to login.

Maybe before anything else is done with the anons, the registrations errors should be fixed.

We need emails so other players wont be able to make tons and tons of name easily.

With the anon thing, I don't think we should get rid of then intirely, just remove the amount of privlages they possess.

That may or may not be a good idea. Don't forget about all those spam bots just waiting for an unfortunate programmer to let his guard down... :twisted:
