Title: Any chance for private matches in Gemp?
Post by: Thedavel on August 26, 2013, 01:12:07 AM
My wife and I hadn't played lotr tcg in years, and I had started breaking out my collection and building decks, when I found out about gemp.  Now, the problem is that, while I have a pretty good handle on things, I re-learned and intended to re-teach the wife about it ( it was 7 or so years since we played last).  The interface, and the fact that it keeps track of all of the mathy stuff, completely rocks, and it's a real asset in teaching my wife, but I just get nervous when I am creating a game and tell her "QUICK!  JOIN!" so that the other seat is taken by someone else... It'd be nice to be able to password protect a game, or be able to invite another user to a private game...  Any thoughts on this, or am I just not aware of said feature already existing and cannot find it?

Many thanks in advance.

You could just "Please nobody join my table, I'm waiting for X." in the chat. Common practise. Even if someone accidently joins your game, concede and open up a new table.

That will work.   I was just hoping that someone would say that I was just being UNobservant and missed that option somewhere.  Thanks!

The old World's Apart LOTRTCG online game used to have the private game feature. It was a good feature. Would be a nice enhancement for gemp.

Cargul- MarcinS has said that he does not have the time or inclination to add additional features to GEMP. Perhaps if you wrote him a personal e-mail you may be able to convince him otherwise. However, remember he does this on his spare time, with no compensation.... don't hold your breath.
