I think they play on doing something to address deadbeat Question Marks within the next 2-3 years...

Right now I am working on the tournament system, manually cleaning up game labels.

Then I have some behind-the-scenes things to do.

Then I will work on the update which will include gameplay improvements and anti-deadbeat measures.

I can't give an accurate estimate because unexpected things often come up. The update will be sometime in August.

Sounds good to me!

I usually just like to wait and be surprised by the periodic updates by lack. It's more of a surprise when you don't know exactly when it is coming. It's like waking up one day and realizing it IS Christmas Day without ever knowing the night before was Christmas Eve.

That isn't good lack, by that time I might have hellgate and then I won't have time for this, with college and work and all on top of that.

Good. I know about programming. I just wondered sort of you know.

Maybe you want to put that answer in the sticky [Official] Suggestions Box (Lack's 'To-Do' List) as well.

Because This post will disapear in the masses very soon.

Actually I'm rethinking my priorities and the update might consist of something completely different (but the same timeline). This is why I don't want to maintain a "what's next" post - it can change by the minute

all this time I thought you were a man...who knew?

i mean no actual disrespect towards women, men, or other genders, or lack himself....I simply saw an opportunity for a one liner and took it. Its not even one of my better ones...but there it is...if any groups or genders or CC staff are offended, I apologize and withdraw and retract said one liner immediately and without hesitation

something completly different? with the same timeline? so far I think you only told us that an update were coming in august?

all I hope for is that 2 small features are taken care of:

1. Would be great if you could priorotize taking away the feature of rewarding missed turns. this is war, and you shouldnt be rewarded for missing your go.

2. Have you thought about implementing a javascript counter on the "My Games" page? Just a simple little script that updates the page once every five minutes? I already did make my own little frameset where the top frame updates the bottom frame like that and I love it...

I bet these two changes wouldnt take you too long, would they?

I'm assuming you're joking... but in your case less than a week so far
