Is there an app for that?

Then whenever I take my turn, your clock starts ticking. If one person's clock runs down to zero, they forfeit.

Tanks for the heads up Jim as I was not aware of that feature. In fact, I thought I had missed your invite. I accepted your request...

Whitestuff, I sent a friend request to you...

Got Ascension with expansion. User name is Aldingamer.

~Aldin, liking it so far

[Aldin]

Sorry for the double-post, but how am I supposed to find people I know to play with? I played half a dozen games last night and I'm starting to get a feel for it, but I'd love to play with folks I know and can't figure out how to look for folks in the game.

~Aldin, who got the expansion as well

Aldin, you have to go to create game in the main menu for Ascension. Then you can select which sets to use and a time limit. In your opponent's slot, you should see a button that says (open). Select that and pick a friend. Of course, your friends must be in your friends list of the gaming center.

Oh yeah... I sent you a friend request.

Gaming... center?

~Aldin, newbishly

[B:T:L Matt]

When I bought my iPad it had a bunch of widgets on the first page at start up. One widget is called Game Center. There you can accept and send requests.

(don't feel too bad about being an iPad newb. I'm also trying to get the hang of it as well.)

[Aldin]

That's funny, I think I did that looking for games that I ultimately discovered I was supposed to be in the app center to find. So it's pulling my information from there. Hunh. Didn't realize that was as important as it apparently is.

~Aldin, gratefully

[Aldin]

Thanks for the games, Matt and Whitestuff (and Jim in our yet to be completed game). Is there any way to chat during the games? I really wanted to be able to at least toss out a "good game" and maybe a "dang, how'd you string so many cards together" here and there.

~Aldin, double posting again... *sigh*

Yeah, a chat feature would've been cool. A few times I wanted to remark on how well you played some hands in our third match. You had quite an impressive victory.

[Jim]

No chat. Otherwise an excellent app though.

I'm taking my turns now... I'm slow that way.

[Aldin]

No worries, Jim. Mebbe I'll be good enough to beat you by the time we're half a dozen turns in

~Aldin, running almost 50/50

[B:T:L Matt]

Jim is to Aldin as Aldin is to me regarding Ascension playing skills, heh.
