grenv: Lol. Silly me. I went straight to the games and didn't even notice tha last moves column in the games list.
Privacy allows people to hide their tactics. Hardly a major priority for most people but perhaps relevant in Battleboats if you don't want your search plans revealed. Maybe that's the case in other games but in most games it makes nary a hoot.
I find it annoying that my opponent can make a game private and I won't know until I try an access it without having logged on first (which I do sometimes).
