Arimaa Wishlist

I thought I'd start a wishlist so that everyone can post the improvements they'd like Omar to make to the gameroom. Omar's already been doing some good stuff recently, and I'm not sure if he has time, but at least we can make him aware of our suggestions.
So here's my first one:
I'd love to be able to chat realtime with others who are in the gameroom. That way we could talk about games that just got played, or we could arrange games slightly more easily.

I've been meaning to do this for a while now. I need
to search around for some nice chat servers and
evaluate them. If anyone has experience with them
please feel free to recomend one.

Claude, don't you like the "shallow blue" color
Feel free to send me the sound files you would like
used. I can change that very easily.

Don't you find the sounds get softer when you turn the volume down?

However I cannot make Arimaa sounds low when my dear wife also uses the computer to listen to CDs.

Perhaps then we just need a special Claude's dear wife button which turns Arimaa sounds off?

Added a comments column on the 'Recent Games' page so we can leave comments about the games. I'll add it to the other pages soon.

I like this feature, it will help to have permanent annotation on interesting games.
As for recommending chat applets... I personally have no idea, sorry! There do seem to be quite a few around when I search on Google.

Actually I just tested a few chat applets out. FreeJavaChat.com seems alright, though it connects you into a whole IRC network, so I'm not sure you'd want that. You can try it out on their site.

I have two wishes:
First, please add the user's rating to the current game list, like it is on the other lists.
Second, I'd like to see commented games stick around longer in the recent games list. With so many games being played lately, a commented game falls off the list in a few days. Perhaps you could add a new link for recent commented games, and show the most recent 50 games with comments.

Actually there's a trick to this one that I already use. If you click on "Recent Games", and then sort by comments, it actually sorts in all the 50 most recent games with comments.

Here's my latest suggestion:
Don't allow "guests" to play postal games. It looks like Naveed and Haizhi have got themselves into neverending games with guests (unless they resign).

Oh no, I'm wrong... it just sorts the number of comments alphabetically, which may work fine for now, but soon the 1 comment games will disappear.
