Poor Fencer, as if he doesn't have enough to do we are trying to add more to his work load. :-) Might as well put my two cents in, you players talking about quick games how about this. Have a link called "Fast Blast" What it would be on the main page a player can put his name up to the "Fast Blast" page and the available time he/she has to spend. Quote what game/s you want to play and/or how much time you have. Then whenever you want to get a game going back and forth for a while click on "Fast Blast" see what available people are up and choose someone. Play the game as normal, being you both are online at the same time just each take your turns. Should someone then have to leave they can go and the game will still be there to pick up later. A time limit is mute as your going back and forth anyway, plus say someone with kids had to stop for say five minutes but would be right back. But if you had a link where you could see the people willing to set out a some time to play you could see who they were and get something going. I'm just adding my ideas to the forum, there has already been some good ones.
