Mabi
Having played a bit on both your site and SBW I thought I would mention one thing that I do find helpful on SBW.
The notepad feature which allows you to put up notes for yourself during the game. Particularly in Shadow I have to rethink what I am doing each time I come to play. If I could put 'move to Trier' or something similar it would be helpful next time it was my move.
I have no idea how difficult this is to implement or whether it has overheads but I thought I would raise the issue.
I did raise a couple of 'wants' with SBW and found that you had already implemented them on your site when I registered!
As usual thanks for your excellent work. |

I have never used that feature, so I didn't take it into consideration for this site, and I wonder how many people actually use it.
Anyway it shouldn't be difficult and I will add it to my to-do list, but keep in mind that features not useful to me have low priority :).
(Sometime in the future I will have to stop working on new games and spend more time on all those low-priority things). |

Mabi - if you wouldn't use it yourself, it deserves to go in the lowest priority category.
If anyone else is interested in it please say so here! |

I agree with Gaditus in that this would be a useful feature for MaBiWeb. Thanks for "listening" MaBi!
:D |

Could be handy to have a poll on this...
I think it would be a useful feature - maybe it's because I'm getting older, but with a few days between moves I sometimes get a bit cloudy as to what my strategy was. |

I recently joined here, and a notepad function was something I also missed. I think that it would be very helpful in all games with some strategy and not only tactics; I am thinking about especially In the Shadow of the Emperor. |

I like the idea of a notepad to help me create a post mortem. Sometimes I try a new approach, but since it typically takes a week or more to finish a game, I rarely remember to look back and see if it worked or not. (But I agree that this is a very low priority issue.)
It may need to be shut off for Hidden Score games. |

Hi Mabi. This is a really old topic, but having found it, I feel I must join the queue of people who'd like it. I'm currently in about 12-15 games, Mostly Year of the Dragon & Richelieu, but a couple of Kreta as well. Sadly most games of Richelieu take about a week (or longer) to finish, and where there are 3 or more players, the others take much longer than this; It would be great to be able to make a few notes about what I think is the most urgent thing to do in the next action / next 2-3 game rounds, in the game itself; currently I've got some notes on assorted bits of paper...
Anyway, I know you're the one doing the work, so I'll leave it to you... :roll: , but it would be really useful. I know of one other player who has commented on this in one of my completed games, but who hasnt written anything in this forum. |

Same here - I would certainly welcome the feature and not just for ShadowEmperor but also for YearDragon |

Hi,
adding the notepad is one of the many useful features that could be added but unfortunately, as you have surely noticed, development on mabiweb has stopped since a few years. I don't know if in the future I will go back to do some new work, new features and new games, but for the time being I'm just maintaining the site, basically just keeping it up and running. |

I would like to cancel my previous post on this thread, as I now play games on Yucata as well, and it has a notepad feature... and I dont use it! :oops:
I also appreciate this site, Mabi. It is excellent. |

This feature would be amazing!! I am playing a few games of nations and struggle to remember what my strategy was each turn which normally ends in mistakes. |

To throw my hat in the ring. I play multiple games at once and I would definitely use a notepad feature to remind me when I hop back in what my next moves were meant to be and general strategy for the round.
As always, love the site that you have here!! |
