nearly zero activity in the lobby, and lots of open games.
i think when we would create an open game “only Stately” the danger of strangers joining will be very low.
should we just try?
Sure, start one up
ok, open game “only Stately” is waiting for entries.
I am in!

I am in too!
so we have no problems with joining the open game, and are not overrun by strangers.
only problem seems a somewhat low interest here on SP 
@halfvoid, @js619, @Mirefox, @Strangiato, @Misguided? anyone?
I don’t see an “open Stately” game to join, else I would…
Game has started and it appears email notifications work well. I’m not seeing badges or pop ups though
Out of curiosity, why are e-mail notifications useful for you? Personally, I’d find them redundant with the way my phone is set up. But maybe I am missing a useful feature.
I use unread email messages as my to-do list. When I get busy I won’t go check app badges or pay much attention to those notifications, but it will bug me that I have an unread email - which gets me to go open that app and take my turn.
I’ve found I take turns much more promptly with apps that have email nudges.

I see. I am quite fastidious when it comes to keeping my phone clear of clutter (probably to a fault) so I tend to take care of any badges as soon as they pop up or as soon as I am able. That said, I see how e-mail notifications could be very useful for games that don’t have functioning badges.
i wonder why AtS doesn’t give us a choice between email and push notifications?
such a pity that it took too long to fill the game with Stately Players. i have a bad feeling that the stranger will ruin our game sooner or later.
well it seems our game has been cancelled. Not sure why.
i got an email notification that “one of your online games has been abandoned by another player”.
ingame the panel says “mhatke left. game terminated.”
timeout? bug? i had chosen the longest possible timer (48 hrs) in the setup.
i wonder if 48 hrs for each turn or possibly for the whole game?
I got a your turn email at 3a and game cancelled email at 9a.
Surely it isn’t 48 hours total game…but even if it is I’m not sure the timer is that high.
Oh well
bummer.
game surely suffers from some launch issues.
now it’s waiting for the patch.
what a massive bugfix update 1.2 !
no word about a fix for joining private games.
let’s just hope it’s in “several smaller bugfixes and improvements”.
i have created game Stately Players (pw: again)
we can add a nickname now to online registration.
but i had to create a new account for that.
couldn’t find a way to add a nickname to my existing account 
did i miss something?
[edit]
it seems to be the same old mess.
i switched to my new nickname account and tried to join, but doh.
could join open games though.
quite disappointing.
Yep doesn’t work
i have created game Stately III (pw: ready)
all the old games (Stately Players/Stately/Stately II/Jane Hatke’s Game) are still there. i guess they could be joined now as well?
