In Reply to: BLOCK BY ANY OTHER NAME...WILL IT BE THE SAME? posted by Dementia (Gold Member) on November 09, 2001 at 14:32:55:
My big worry was changing the length of the words that could be made, too. But the way I understand it they don't want to change that, just the field size that the letters are picked from. I know many times we could all have made a word longer than 10 letters, but allowing that option would really change the game too drastically. I'm torn about changing the field size. Adding the option to delete the first row might actually stop the ongoing debate with those that insist on it. I'm torn, I loved block the way it was, also. The VOG set-up is very different and you need to sign-up for the trial membership and check out their games and chat features. It won't be the same, but all in all the games seem to run smooth. Keep up the discussions, it's the people who voice their opinions that will be heard and VOG does seem to be willing to listen. Also besides posting you can always email your suggestions and concerns straight to Alexander Vikuilin. I do URGE you all to go test VOG, even if you don't care for the games they have now. This way you can see how their features work. I really like their set-up for sending messages (pager) and the chat features, it works a lot like ICQ. It's very different from Blocktionary and it won't be the same. I don't mean to sound like I'm "selling" VOG, cuz I'm not. I just want to play block again.
