So I got to test out the Gametable with BDS this morning... it's pretty darn awesome.
It runs very smoothly, and flows just as nicely as desktop, perhaps even a bit better.
Most importantly, it worked without a hitch! I can't speak for FG, but it'll be sooner rather than later that it's released.. I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

Would be great for running LWA ppvs playing head to head like that.....wish they didnt charge so much for the blank cards. And im not so sure i would want to re-buy everything again either for that matter....

Yeah, while it would be 47 kinds of awesome to actually play the PPV against each other on Online, it would indeed require everyone to spend money. We'll discuss more when it arrives and everyone gets a chance to look at it. But I actually have a plan

Well, you can get one set of blanks and then just change them out each time. I know that is kind of a waste of time, but it would save you from having to buy a bunch of CACs.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking, actually. I think you get 6 for $5... that's not too unreasonable for people to put out, and I don't think it too likely for someone to have more than 6 guys wrestling at a PPV.
What do you guys think?

Excited to see how this (and the revamped Stat Tracker, et all) works on the iPad. The iPad, to me is like the ultimate gaming companion. Have found so many apps that help me run my fed. Making COTGOnline completely iPad compatible would renew my interest in the product and I'd purchase the sets I don't have.

BDS has an Iphone, and reports it works just fine on it.
Ironically, the platform he said he was having trouble with was IE.
It's great on Firefox, though:)
AFAIK, the stat tracker isn't changing right now... not sure if that's next on the list or not.

dont you have to buy some sort of sets to have access to the game table, i dont think you can just put out for 5 CACs and get access to it.

SO, theorically, each person in the LWA could spent $5 to get 5 CAC slots, and use those slots to punch in whoever is booked on the LWA PPV that month... then we could play it LIVE. I think that would be fantastic. Once everything is up and running that is

That's not even theoretical ... Someone could do exactly that. The COTGonline account is free and gives access to all the features of the system, you're just limited on cards.

It's not optimal, as the tab switching for multiple windows is clunky on the phone, but it works. We plan on doing a version on the Game Table with a minimalist interface specifically for smartphones, too. Next on the list is the PBP Sim. What doesn't work on the iPhone that you know of, Grant?

What doesn't work on the iPhone that you know of, Grant? I don't recall exactly. I made a list on the Official board. It should come up if you search for it. It was mostly in the card editor for the stat tracker. Thanks for your work!

Would you consider just giving a link to the old version of the card editor (that was just HTML-only) for use on smartphones to be a satisfactory solution, at least in the short term? Also, check your inbox in a few minutes.
