(I understand that the majority of sales are from those that don't visit forums) So he/she goes to the multiplayer feature and what do they see? NOTHING NADA ZILCHO BLANKO, so they have no way of knowing there's 100's or 1000's of multiplayers out there. Suppose they don't want to issue challenges? Suppose they don't read the manual about multiplayer and go on what they've seen from places like Gamespy and The Zone and other hookup places where they SEE LOTS of OPEN games waiting to be played or ones already being played?
See my point? Slitherine needs to show GAMES BEING PLAYED OR ACTIVE in those screens so anybody can see the names of the players and those names should be able to be right clicked on to be able to send a PM to them to ask if they would like to play another game with those looking for one. Of course the PM wouldn't popup during the game they are playing but in their private pm box for later as popups while playing a game are annoying.
Blank screens in a multiplayer lounge leaves thoughts of this game doesn't have any activity and most likely sucks.
Ok, so a person goes to the mP screen and sees numerous games ... what does that person do??
I see red padlocks and I see a few green padlocks. What do I click on?
I see green games and red games (with close padlocks)
what do I do ??

When you create an MP challenge, you have the choice to put in a password. If you don't, the battle will show with a green, open padlock. If you put in a password, it will show a red, closed padlock. You have to give the password to someone for them to accept the challenge.
Therefore, you can accept a challenge from any of the green padlock battles.
