My latest opinion on blindfold games with friends

I got to admit, i was very excited about the hole playing with friends thing. Who wouldn't be. It's just so much fun to play against a real person on another side of the world. Recently however, i'm not so sure anymore. I don't know if I'm imagining things, but it seems like people are losing interest because opponents are hard to find. Perhaps this could be improved by a better notification system? I was thinking about a notification on or off setting for whenever there are open public games. Any thoughts?

I love that idea! I would always be willing to play if i'm not busy, but i never know if someone is available to play. They should totally add better notifications.

Hi all. I had Crazy Eights I think, but i gave up because there was no one to play against. Isn't Game center the reason for the drastic inavailability? I don't know of anyone who even uses game center. I thinkw e all have so much going on, for now the computer players are enough for me. Although maybe someone can be notified, hey someone's live, want to ask for a game? Otherwise it defaults to the computer players. I wish they were a little harder, i usually beat them a lot, 1000 miles especially. Just my thoughts.

That is exactly why I suggest a pop-up notification that will alert people whenever an open game has been started. I feel like sending my suggestion to kid friendly software via email, but first I want some people to put in their thoughts and tell me whether they think it is a good idea. Of course, this pop-up notification will be a setting that can be turned on and off within the app itself, so that those players who are busy will not be bothered.

Does the blind fold game requests go to other blind users in game center or both blind and sighted? I think it would be also nice if we could play against our fb friends like on dice world.

I'm with y'all on the notifications. I don't play those games because I never know who's available to play. If I search for one of my friends, they aren't on line to play.

This is off topic, but has anyone noticed how the blindfold racer account tends to post a lots of tweets that say the same thing? Me and a few others have noticed this and have told him that spamming people out is a good way to get users to run away. Thoughts?
